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.

I will say, the greens were fine. I don't know how you can get the greens so good and the fairways were absolutely atrocious. Hard to find any grass. I really like this course layout, but the fairway conditions make it hard to return.

Wheres the turf

Victoria Hills is a picturesque layout. A bit of elevation and undulation make for a nice time on the course. Turf conditions are very poor. Greens are in average condition. Rates should peak out at $40-$50.00

Getting Better

Victoria Hills was a really nice course 15 years ago. It deteriorated to fairly poor condition about 2-3 years ago. It looks like they have a new greenskeeper. It is much better than it was a few years ago. The greens are nice. The fairways are okay (they could use more water). For the money, it's a fair deal. I will play there again.

Challenging but beautiful layout. Several holes with elevations not often found in Florida. Friendly staff and members. Nice clubhouse with very reasonable food and drinks. Strongly recommended.

First time BUT not my last

Everything was great! The staff, amenities, pace of play, golf carts, driving range and putting greens were first class. It’s been pretty cold and dry here in Florida since winter so the fairways were a bit thin but they were watering all day so they should come back.

Victoria Hills, 3/8/2026

The bad...Needs water desperately. The most bunkers I've seen on a golf course. Good layout. This course could be a 4-5 star course with good watering and a little course maintenance. There are other courses nearby that have better conditions. Got a "Hot Deal" from golf now.

Course has improved but I am not sure the conditions justify the cost. They have done a lot of work to improve the greens but the rest of the course suffers on most

Holes. The fairways and tee boxes are in rough shape and the areas around the greens are usually in poor condition with a few exceptions.

WAIT

The course itself has taken a drastic change throughout the years. Even though the layout is great, the course conditions are horrible. Extremely dry fairways, tee boxes are just about the same. I see that they have worked on the greens, so that was one of the highlights of my round. The staff are courteous and professional and a clubhouse is cozy and welcoming.

Great design & layout, poor conditions

The design of this course is excellent, but unfortunately right now the fairways are missing a lot of grass and the greens have lots of little patches of po or weeds

Really?

Greens are acceptable. Rest of course is in horrendous shape. Used to be a quality course, but has fallen into the goat track category. They have no business charging any more than $30 during peak times, but somehow find it okay to charge $80. Close it down for a year until it’s back to playable or drop the rates is my only suggestion.

I play there quite a bit. The course needs work, but it's playable. The cart guys and the front desk are always professional with great attitudes. Makes you not mind the process. Thanks.
