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.

WARNING! DO NOT PLAY THIS COURSE

Absolutely false advertising! the photos on the website MUST be 6 years old or more. There is almost no grass on the greens on the entire front nine holes. they must have stopped fertilizing 3-4 years ago. the conditions are deplorable. I wouldn't play it if it was free.

Course needs major turf renovation

I first played this course soon after it opened (about 20 years ago). It was challenging and beautifully maintained.

I played this course a couple of times last year (2022) and said to myself I would never play it again. The fairways and greens were terrible.

I decided to give it another go this year, hoping enough players had complained about the conditions that improvements would have been made.

Nope. Worse than last year.

Fool me once...

Conditions Terrible

Course is in the worst shade I ever seen a golf course and for the price stay away go somewhere else anywhere else and play. Greens are lost no fairway grass and tee boxes are weeds and dirt I don’t know how this course gets any play.

Not worth the money we paid!

The course layout is great but the greens were horrible! It felt like we were putting on concrete and the ball would roll all over the place like a pinball machine. You shouldn’t be charging $49 plus tax with the greens in that bad of shape.

Needs Lots of Work

Word has it that when growing season starts they will be working on it but as it is now it is trash. I knew when I went that it was bad so for $34 I got to practice some shots.

Not bad needs work

The layout of this course is awesome. The greens are overall not in good condition with the front 9 greens being in way worse condition than the back 9. Tee boxes and fairways weren’t bad either just inconsistent. If the greens were in good shape this course would be a go to every time.

Course is on the coming back.

Every time I play the course is a little bit better. Fairways are starting to get some grass on them lots of areas under repair and roped off to allow grass to grow. Sand traps have all recently been cleaned up and raked. Front 9 greens still have a long way to go but they are growing s my end of spring I look for this place to be superb again for the summer.

Worst Greens Ever!

The course should not be open for play. The greens have a disease and are covered with white powder that makes them unplayable. The course layout was very nice. The bunkers were very nice. The fairways were terrible. Granted, it is winter golf but that is no excuse for large areas hard pan dirt. We missed our tee time with GolfNow. Although they had openings, the manager insisted we call GolfNow and see if they could change the tee as opposed to letting us play. Eventually they allowed us to play at a discounted green fee. If we had known the condition of the course, we would have gladly played somewhere else. The cart guys, pro shop attendant and bartender were very nice. The clubhouse was very nice.

Getting better

Grass is starting to regrow on the front nine holes that had an issue. They are working as hard as nature allows to get the course back into good condition. There is still a lot of work to do but there is progress.

Front nine still needs the most work. 7 of the 8 greens are horrible. The greens are bumpy or like putting on concrete (rolled dirt) or a combination. But I see improvement that gives me hope.

Great layout, fantastic friendly and helpful staff, and back nine is good. We always enjoy the round and we're looking forward to future rounds with good conditions.

Improving

Have played course since it opened. have seen it decline to basically unplayable conditions, but recently with new Managment on the physical course conditions are improving, hopefully this will continue, and hopefully golfers will be considerate of the game and remember walking from the cart path to the green is part of the game

Very poor condition

This course is in extremely poor condition I had played it about a month ago and it was poor! Thought I’d try again but it has gotten worse. Most greens are less than 50% grass covered and tee areas and fairways are not much better!
