Victoria Hills Golf Club located in Deland has jaw-dropping beauty. Golfers will appreciate Roland Garl's vigorous bunkering, which oscillates between the expansive and the intricate, depending on the hole. An array of pot bunkers, waste bunkers, native wetlands, water sprays, bunkers integrated within a natural setting, and elevation changes rarely seen on a Florida golf course await you. Garl's course is graceful and feminine

Victoria Hills could easily be called "The State of Florida's Garden of Golf,"- inland settings such as this are virtually unprecedented in this state. Yet while the splendor and natural beauty of the property are notable, this is not simply eye candy and lazy golf. Victoria Hills, as one player put it, "is a blast to play". In any evaluation, it's difficult to imagine how a golfer would not rate a round here as one of their most enjoyable in Florida.

Waste of Money

This course is a laughing stock now, the conditions have never been worse. I only bothered to do a review to save others from wasting their money. I also found managements comments to these bad reviews hysterical, "Sorry to hear we missed the Mark" you have to be kidding, how about admitting the course is terrible and if any plans to make it better. I do not think there will be any improvement until the Management/Ownership changes. A lost cause now!

Course is unplayable. 9 holes closed for aeration, no warning. Course bone dry. Pumps broken. Wait at least 6 months before considering playing that mess. Golf now owes me a refund.

Golf Course cries for help

Got the promotional rate which was excellent, course was not crowded, the greens have improved over the last year, the fairways could use some work, some of the fairways have inches of dead grass resting in the low lying areas due to heavy rains a week or so ago. Overall okay but could be so much better.

Just an ok course that needs a great deal of work to get it in proper playing condition

If cheap is all you care about, this is the course for you. Tee boxes are in terrible condition, fairways are ok in spots but completely dead in other spots, sand traps are heavy compacted sand instead of soft loose material. Hopefully the management can turn this course around as the layout is nice but the poor conditions make it difficult to hit consistent shots.

Rough

Such a shame to see a great layout be in this shape. Hole #5 you can’t find a patch of grass to hit your second shot. I stopped after 9 due to the conditions. Hope they can turn it around.

Don't waste you money on Victoria

Who ever owns this course is either broke or stupid or both. I've see more playable cow pastures. Many fairways are pretty much dirt; like no grass. The top soil is gone. No care and maintenance is taking place obviously. While some of the greens were good, it takes a lot more than a few playable greens to earn my money. I won't be back.

Don’t waste your time

The staff were nice. The restaurant looked nice. The pro shop was small. The course was bad. The driving range was terrible. There was next to no grass on the entire course. It was impossible to play.

Disappointment

Oh geez, a great layout, rolling hills, water, sand bunkers, challenging course. The only thing missing was grass in the fairways! The green were well maintained, but really the fairways were some of the worst I've ever encountered and I've been golfing all over the country since 1968. Sorely sorry we chose to play here. Used to be a favorite.

Needs TLC

For 5+ years I played this course and held out hope that somebody would invest in improvements (or at least get it to an acceptable condition).It is a shame that this hasn't happened since it is one of the top tracts in the area. Most of the greens are in good shape, yet most of, the fairways are in bad shape, #5 in particular.

I really like this course, but.....

The greens are in good condition but the fairways have become dirt and patches of grass.

I can't see paying the money for those conditions, which is unfortunate considering I really like this course.

I'll give it some time and go back in the future.

Lots of sand

Some of the fairways were in decent shape the rest were sparse. The greens were in good shape and rolled true.

Tee boxes were mostly sand. Pace play was good.

There are a ton of sand traps on every hole and fairways are somewhat narrow between them. A lot of no cart zones so be prepared to walk.

Greens are great

The rest of the course is what it has become over the past few years, but it's still very playable. They got some grass starting to grow just need more rain, but the greens are very good and speedy. Overall if you're okay with adjusting your lie a few feet to find a normal lie, you won't be disappointed.

Range is being re-seeded too so hopefully that works out in a couple weeks. They have a small temporary range right now that's actually not too bad.

Conditions are horrible

Worst course conditions I've ever seen. 70 percent of the course is sand, aside from the greens but that is all. Fairways are all sand and dead dry grass, plus a million bunkers. I wouldn't play this course in this condition for free, let alone $40. Staff was nice and accommodating but man, what a miserable experience.
