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.

The course is better than last year, but the greens still need a lot of work to get them back to what they once were.

Nice Layout, Needs work!

I enjoyed the course layout with the nice change of elevation and contoured greens. The greens need some work but rolled relatively nicely. Overall i enjoyed the course and would play it again.

Course has again declined due to poor management maintenance

If you prefer to hit off concrete on the fairways and poor painted greens with severe damage.. this is your course… was soooo much better a few months back.. but was a disappointment with the price to play there… not worth the drive.

Long and winding road

I’ve been playing the course for 5 years now. With each step forward there have been two steps backward. My recent round was one step forward. Most of the greens were puttable.

There was about 50% grass coverage on the fairways. The practice green and chipping area both showed improvement. Tees, rough, and bunkers were all in poor shape. Unfortunately, the cycle has repeated itself time and time again and I almost expect that the course conditions will decline again over the next few months. Let’s hope that a trend of improvement begins! I think, however, without a serous infusion of capital, VH will continue to be a poorly conditioned club with a great layout.

Slight improvement

I hadn’t played the course in 2 months.

The greens are showing signs of improvement. Rolling them will be a big plus. Fairways and tees are still pretty bad. Rough is years from being acceptable. If the owner would put a focused improvement effort to roll the greens, plant grass in the fairways and redo the tees, the course, which is a great track, would attract hundreds of central Florida golfers. Greens fees could be doubled and local memberships would take hold.

would play again

The course has recovered nicely from the past hurricanes and poor weather. Staff was very friendly. There were a few "rough patches" but overall in good shape.

3 Stars at best

I want to love this course because it is a challenging layout, but I haven’t seen any real progress since I was here 2 months ago. Instead of really fixing the issues on the course, they continue to make half assed attempts at repairs. Message to management and owner, hire the best golf course superintendent you can get and give them the money to make the course a golf destination again or you will end up being another Glen Abby.

Front nine Greens suck. Not grass, some kind of mold. ??? Patches of new sod. Used to be a nice course. No money, I guess. Way over priced. Worth a bucket of balls. Nothing good here. Golf now is crazy charging those prices.

Practice golfer

Great design and wonderful place to practice. Hard pan fairways and greens penalize good shots. If you accept higher scores for the fun of a great course design I recommend Victoria Hills golf course.

Horrendous Pace of Play

4 hours and 43 minutes to play 16 holes on a Friday. The course had a scramble in front of us. The Starter said it would be slow for the first two holes but it would open up after that. It did not. We waited on every shot and had to quit after 16 holes because the sun was setting and it was so dark we could not see where our tee balls were landing. The course knew they had a scramble but never sent a range out to speed them up. Pro shop closed by the time we got in and the lone person at the cart return said he knew the course was "loaded" and then walked away from us.
