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.

Good, but it’s been better

Used to be a very good course, but now not so much. Interesting layout with some challenging holes. Temporary green for #5. Florida has closed down a lot of courses, and those that remain are increasing prices.

Depending on interest

Course has always had one of the best layouts in Central Florida. Condition wise it is suffering. Depending on what your requirements are this is a great course to work on game. Sure you have to bump the ball around for decent lies and a couple of greens are unplayable and teeing area is rough but unless you are a stickler for rules this is the course for working on your driving, approach shots, chipping and even putting, but again you will have to bump the ball.

Greens are so much better than 4 months ago

I jumped on a TeeOff special for $34. The greens were in good condition than when I played 4 months ago when they all were mostly sand and bare. They had fired the then green’s keeper. There was a temporary green on the par 5, 5th hole. That green looked to be in the same condition as it was 4 months ago. In this area there hasn’t been any rainfall in like 20+ days. So kudos again to the staff for keeping the course in playable conditions. I will play this course again when I’m back in the area and if another special comes up.

Dry and sandy

I like this course I play it probably several times a year. It’s a long way from my house, but the terrain is good and variety of holes is good …conditions right now by virtue of the drought is pretty sandy and some of the greens are in pretty sad shape. I wouldn’t play there if you haven’t ever played there before cause you might be disappointed but I’m still gonna play there because I like it when it’s better.

Seen better days

It used to be one of the best courses around but right now there’s a lot of sand spots all over, even on the greens and the 5th green was not even possible to putt on. But for the ok price and the lay out it’s still good enough to get my money every once and awhile

What you see is not what you get!

The course layout is almost picture perfect to the eye, but the actual playing conditions leave much to be desired. Hadn't played here in a while so was anxious to see if there were any improvements.

Too many bare spots in the fairways, too many roped off areas not allowing you onto the fairway when necessary so that you're back-tracking, yardage markers imbedded in the ground and not easily seen making proper club selection difficult. Very frustrating for two senior golfers who quit after nine holes.

No recent progress

I play here every couple of months and was disappointed on the lack of progress this Spring. There was a lot of progress last Summer and Fall but not so much this year. The fairways are green and were fertilized but the bad areas are not being attended to, seems they are just hoping grass will just come back. 14 of the Greens are in very good shape but 3 are bad with number 5 being horrendous (time to redo it). Goose grass all over Fairways and some on some of the greens? Prices are still way too high for this course until it gets better.

Great layout and challenging holes

We had a great time,. Great layout, challenging holes with trees, cross bankers, dog legs and ondulation. The greens are very well protected and with lots of brakes. The course is in good shape except the green on hole #5 that they will work on very soon.

Super friendly service and I will definitely be back soon.

trending up

This is a great course that has had a tough go of it lately. I stopped booking it a couple of years ago when course conditions took a nosedive. I'm delighted to say that things are definitely trending up. Aside from the green on #5 and parts of a couple others, conditions were better than all of the other $60 courses in the area. It's obvious that they care, which sadly hasn't always appeared to be the case. The staff was friendly and helpful. Nice job everyone. I'll be back soon.

Another fun round

Played this course many times and that should answer your questions. Every time it's fun and can be challenging. Weather helped this time. I will play it again.

Good Course - Needs TLC

It is a good challenging round of golf for all experience levels, but for Needs TLC:

Tee Boxes and Fairways need more grass.

Some of the greens need new grass.

All of the Tee Box areas need new amenities, Ball washers, trash receptacles, etc., and they all need either a stone etched or even nice wooden map of the course hole .

Bathrooms on the course need remodeling / updating.
