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.

Gone backwards after improvements.

Very disappointed, last year a lot of improvements had been made, but it has slid backwards back. While the greens are still in pretty good conditions, the fairways are bad. Please, bring them back, I love the track layout and it’s minutes from my house. Lastly, something must be done about the range, HORRIBLE.

Greens are OK fairways and tee boxes are awful.

Overall poor conditions on tee boxes and fairways. Worse than anywhere. What a shame. Greens are pretty good but there are bad spots on some.

Good layout bad condition

They are losing the fairways. Greens are still ok but show some fatigue. This owner doesn’t seem to want to keep this course playable. The fairways have been getting worse every year since he bought it. Such a shame

Wow - Getting worse

This course has been in decline for years and it has hit a new low. Fairways and tees are horrible a mix of burnt grass, weeds and sand! What a shame to see this course in its current condition. Warning to other golfers the manager will not honor coupons found online!

Needs Work

It is a shame that the course lacks maintenance. There is no excuse for the conditions on the fairways and tee boxes. This was such a great course many years ago. The greens are still pretty good, but the rest of the course just sucks.

Lost cause

This course has never been in worse shape! For years there have been some efforts to make things better but it never lasts and now it looks like they have given up. It starts right from the Range no grass at all, the first hole is not too bad but it goes downhill fast after that. Hardly and green grass a mixture of burnt out spots mixed with weeds and sand spots. Forget chipping from close to the green mostly sand spots. I think I dealt with the Manager and he was not friendly! I do realize that we are in a dry season but this is a neglected course much nicer ones closer in Daytona! Who owns this course are they actually interested in Golf?

Friendly staff

Got us right onto a cart despite being early. Hit a bucket of balls. Driving range needs help, but the course play was great for the money. I’ll be back.

Golf Now won’t give you rain check

Course is in the usual goat track condition posting this review as a warning to anyone who uses GolfNow to book if weather turns bad, which I did for us on this round on the second pole, you have no way of getting a rain check proceed with caution.

Work in progress

The course is trying and conditions seem to be improving. Golfers are not helping. They do not fill divots, fix ball marks and drive the carts where ever they want. I saw carts beyond the ropes, driving next to greens and other areas they were not supposed to be in. Golfers complain but do not do their part to help the course heal. Go to the range any day and there will be several people hitting balls outside of the mark area. The other areas of the range cannot recover if it is not given time.

Greens were great,

tees and fairways were in sad shape. We played preferred lies and the round was good.

No way to play them down.
