Victoria Hills Golf Club
About
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.

Goat ranch
Poor conditions throughout. I’ve heard this was a great golf course at one time. Used to lure potential buyers into the community. Once lots were sold, the developer pulled the plug on maintenance, then sold to a new owner who can’t/won’t maintain it. So it has gone downhill for 5 years straight. Needs $millions to revive. Would love to see a new buyer invest. I’m sure the community would support.
Work Needed
The greens are poorly maintained. The fairways were as much sand as grass. Some traps had no rakes. A great layout that needs a lot of TLC. The round is not worth what is being charged for its condition. A shame for sure, but the expectation drops when you check in at the restaurant bar. Hard to believe there is no pro shop.
Great layout needs TLC
We really love this course and the layout. Unfortunately, Florida has been rather dry and the fairways and greens were like concrete. It’s still a very challenging course. If you decide to play it the greens are super fast under current conditions!
Great layout, Poor Condition
Played this course pre-Covid and love the layout and challenge of the course. Beautiful surroundings, lots of sand, but hilly and fun to play. UNFORTUNATELY, apparently, they have failed to maintain the course like it was 3 years ago. Hardly any grass on the fairways...and the greens are extremely rough and need a great deal of work. The guys in my group that played today said "we dont need to come back here to play from Daytona, until they put the course back in resonable condition@!
Sad to see a lovely course fall into disrepair.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us, drhayek. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Victoria Hills Golf Club, and we hope to see you again in the future.
Not a golf course
Tees, fairways, bunkers, greens, practice areas all on absolutely terrible shape. I get the feeling that the owner is using the course to launder money.
Visitor
Could only play the back nine, as front nine closed for aeration work, which wasn't mentioned when booking.
Assured the back nine was the better nine. I would hate to see the front nine as the conditions from tee to fairway was shocking, as were the fairways & greens.
Left after playing the first nine, and will never be returning.
Still in bad shape
Poor conditions tee to green. Bare spots everywhere, greens are inconsistent and don’t roll well (hard to make putts), even when you find grass in the fairway it’s a tight lie on hard ground. A great layout if they ever get conditions better.
Hi, u965997933. Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. Your feedback about the course is important to us. We are working to get everything up to par. We have projects ongoing to recover the fairways and greens. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We are going to escalate your feedback to our team so we can make improvements before your next game, and we will continue to work towards an excellent experience by using your comment for guidance. Thank you for playing Victoria Hills Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon.
One of my pasture course ratings.
I have played this course for years up until about a year ago where it got so bad that is was frustrating and not worth it. I waited until March this year after taking the word of staff last year that it was being restored but on my last visit a month ago it was worse than before.
It used to be a premier place to play and a perfect golf challenge.
Since that time they have lost the clubhouse and the course is like a groomed pasture. Grassless tee boxes and patchy greens.
It is a great loss of quality a golf courses and yet they charge like it is an upper end Florida course.
If they actually maintain it like it was I would play 3 times a month on average. Beautiful layout.
Hello, u00000832784. We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. We would love to know how we can earn those last two stars next time! Thanks for playing Victoria Hills Golf Club.
I have played this course many times over the past 10 years, loved the layout, enjoyed the people, enjoyed the food but for the last couple years the condition has worsened so bad that my regular courses are Debary and Cypress Head which have maintained their greens and have wonderful fairways. I cannot figure why they would let a gem like this go down hill and at the height of the season it is the only place with tee times so I’m not only one that has left for green fairways.
Hello, thank you for taking the time to review our course. We appreciate your dedication to playing our course over the years but are very sorry to hear your recent experience with us may have been poor due to the course conditions.
We greatly value your feedback as we work towards any necessary improvements and hope you will notice some of these improvements during your next round with us. Thank you for choosing our course, and we hope to see you again soon.
We love hearing about our golfers' experiences, u314163484441. Please tell us more about what you enjoyed during your round. Thanks for choosing Victoria Hills Golf Club!
Course
Course is getting some much needed work and its showing. In time hope it’s as nice as it was before.
I will wait and see! So far the owner has shown he is a cheapskate and nothing is done right and certainly nothing major. Example the traps have needed new sand for 4 years and he will not spend the money!
Agree!
No value for your money
So sad to see this course go to the dogs. This used to be my favorite course. I booked the tee time wondering why it was so cheap. $24.99 + taxes etc. Turns out when we got there we were told that the back 9 was closed. We’d have to play the front 9 twice. Well needless to say it was clogged as people were replaying the front 9. So we had to squeeze in. Pace of play was horrible. Also the tee decks, fairways and greens were in terrible shape. Yet the regular green fee is as high as it’s ever been. Would currently not recommend this course to anyone!
Disagree!!!!
Don’t waste time or money
Courses like these have to be shut down for good…! Terrible greens (aeration started) but even so the lack of maintenance of every aspect of course cannot be saved. Way too late & a complete renovation will be the only solution………..
I got on for free thankfully!
Greens were decent but fairways were spotty at best. If I hit a drive down the middle I should not have to place the ball on patches of grass.
Hello, u000002186298. Thank you for taking the time to review and leave your feedback on your recent round with us.

Enjoying
Had a great time will be back. Wish the clubhouse stayed open for after round drinks!!!!
Hello, hOi03N9dd4bCJbVYhYNN. Thank you for visiting us at Victoria Hills Golf Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Poor Conditions
The course is in really bad condition. I would not recommend it to anyone and I wouldn't play it for free. The worse any course I have played on.
Hello, russref. Thank you for taking the time to review the course. We are sorry to hear your experience did not meet your expectations; however, the way you have provided your feedback does not offer us any room to grow or change. Making comments that cut down the course are not helpful to us or any golfers reading your review. We encourage you to update your review to fit a more constructive form so we can use your experience to make changes. Thanks for playing Victoria Hills Golf Club.
Course in Bad Shape
My favorite course in the area with the best layout. Unfortunately, the course conditions border on unplayable. Hard to find grass in fairways and greens are brown, hard and crusty. Should not be charging full price to play until conditions improve. Golf is about integrity and course website and staff should be honest about playing conditions.
Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve and are working diligently to improve the course. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.
I will return
First time playing. Condition of course was fair due to months of no rain. A very fun course with a great layout. Look forward to playing next year when I return.
I don’t get why clubhouse is closed at 5:30, other courses are the same. All four of us were prepared to stop for after drinks….. but not an option…..Dumb in my opinion.
