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.

Worst course in Florida.

Fairways nothing but unkept- a pasture and now

Spiked! Bunkers untended nor raked and empty of sand. Greens unputtable .

Double booked by GolNow and never refunded.

Why won’t you guys accredit me with my own credits that I have one your website that it’s there?

I’m ready to go back to regular booking again and stop using your services for booking.

I gain nothing from it other than issues that don’t get solved and loss of money when I have a real life situation and have to cancel a tee time.

This Course is overall friendly

Not just the people in the pro shop and the staff at the turn, but the course itself is a challenge but nothing obscure for people like myself who recently got into golf. I had Such a great time at Victoria Hills.

Great layout

I think people are a little hard on this course. Yes indeed, the course has seen it's better days. 100%. Fairways and traps are indeed rough and need help. Greens are okay, so that saves this course. They were slow, but at least they were GREEN. Ha. AMAZING layout, especially the back 9. The layout makes the course worth it. But even with the fairways being in rough condition, you can just roll the ball for a good lie. You're not playing the ball as it lies here. Heck no. But I cannot go on enough about the layout. This is a really fun course to play. Hopefully they get the money together and get the fairways and tee boxes back in good shape. As for the staff, everybody I interacted with were super friendly, so that is a huge plus. I look forward to returning! Again, just be sure to have your expectations in order. As long as your group agrees to rolling the ball in the fairway, you'll have a nice time. Again, the greens are good and that's the most important part. Give this course a chance despite the terrible reviews. As long as you know that the fairways are not the best and you have your expectations set, you will not complain and you will have a great time. Holes 12 and 13 are alot of fun. Enjoy!

Needs some love

Like so many Central Florida courses, Victoria Hills is in pretty rough shape. Good layout, just needs some love. We took preferred lies all day, and it still was a pretty disappointing round. Bald spots everywhere. One positive, the restaurant has very friendly employees and prices are reasonable.

Worst course conditions ever

Been golfing for 40 years. Have never seen a course in such a state of disrepair. There were Par 4 and 5 fairways and tee boxes that were nothing but sand and weeds. Rough was mostly overgrown weeds and bare sand. Driving range was just bare sand. Course looked like no one maintained it in years except for mowing weeds and greens. Layout looks like it could have been great 30 years ago, but something terrible has happened the last few years. Completely unplayable.

Tougher than I expected

This is a long course that has tons of sand to play around with. Greens were recently airated so the greens are a little bumpy right now but overall a beautiful place to play.

Trashed

Played in a foursome today off Gold tees. Tee boxes were mostly sand. Fairways were dry and mostly sandy weeds.

Now the greens - they were dry and sandy. Recently aerated and sanded That was not communicated when we booked it.

We agreed if the greens were green round would more enjoyable .

Hard to putt when the ball is hopping across weeds, aerator holes, and sand

Suggest Managment take a hard look and step it up.

Word gets around

Terrible shape

Course is in absolute terrible shape. Had no notifications that had been aerated. Not on golf now or signs up. Warm up on a sandlot of a driving range: You have to walk through 3 ft high grass to get to your sandbox teebox. Good luck finding grass in the fairway. Felt like I was playing on an abandoned course. Much better options for the money. Don't often leave reviews but they should be ashamed at this product and what they are charging.

Still Needs TLC

Some of the fairways are nothing but sand. The course marshals (lol) need to patrol and kick in the butt

those golfers who cannot keep pace.

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!

Worst i’ve seen it sadly

Normally really enjoy this course, but this past round was a forgettable one to say the least. Landing on the green was essentially like landing in a bunker with the all the sand from punched greens. Trying to roll on the greens was going through land minds. Price was too high for the condition of the course
