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.

Needs Help

I consider Victoria Hills, my home course, and even though I absolutely love the layout the conditions are rough. It’s better than it was a year ago but it’s nowhere near what it once was. I do hope that they decide to bring it back!

Got Grass?

First time on this course and was pleasantly pleased with the staff, amenities, course layout and challenge. This course would have been a 5 had the course conditions been existent. We really enjoyed the course layout and the challenges it presented. This is what you golf for, right? If the fairways ever get a layer of grass, you would have a hard time getting a tee time the course would be in such demand.

Course in very poor condition. Fairways are dry and hard with many areas of only dirt. Greens are hard and fast with hard pan approaches.Played this course several years ago and it was beautiful. What a shame!

THE WORST! I've only played Victoria Hills for about 3 years but this is THE WORST I have eve seen this course. Greens & fairways are like concrete. Putting is like doing it on glass. I am astonished and totally disappointed how they have let this course go. Really a shame and I do not believe that "it is on the mend". Baloney! Be a loooooong time before I play Victoria Hills again.

Slow play

Played on 3/19/23 front nine took 3 hrs. Had to wait at every tee box with a group on green , a group in fairway, a group waiting on tee box then our group, Skipped 3 holes to get around log jam played the last 6 holes in an hour and fifteen minutes. Ranger came by once on hole 3 but nothing in front of us ever changed. Course is good bad ranger or starter trying to squeeze to many groups in the same time period.

What a Shame!

The bones of this course are absolutely fantastic, and the other reviews, which I read before we went there and played, were 100% correct. If only they would put water, money and TLC into this, it would be one of the best courses in Florida and people would pay $100+ to play it. It's scenic, and the neighborhoods through which it wanders are really well maintained. It's got elevation changes, and tons of pleasing looking bunkers. The fairways are burned up. Hard to tell sometimes where the bunkers begin and end. It's just sad. If you are a potential investor, please play this place and give it the glory it deserves.

I'm Done

Tried yet again and conditions seems even worse. No grass in the fairways and they were actually mowing them, quite bizarre! No obvious maintenance being done to improve the conditions. They never reply on here on what they will be doing to improve it and even acknowledge the poor conditions. I will watch the reviews here and if they get better I will try yet again, meantime I will drive the 30 minutes to New Smyrna Beach were there are 3 courses better then VH a real shame! I know I am not the only one either that feels this way!!

Disappointing shape

This course used to be one of the nicest in Volusia county but it is now in horrible shape. Grass is pretty much non existent in the fairways and the greens are like putting on a marble countertop, running like 15+ on the Stimp meter. No pro shop anymore, check in at the restaurant bar. Don’t waste your time here.

All Talk

You will see comments from the course saying "we are striving to improve", but have been saying the same thing since they bought it in 2020. The owner refuses to bring in the knowledge that will get the course back. The GM refuses to approve the money to buy the correct fertilizers needed. The head superintendent has no experience as a golf course super. The lawns of the surrounding homes look 10x better than the golf course. Where else does that happen??

Its time to sell the course to someone who will invest properly.

Nice course turned dog track

Dog track. No body is spending money on her maintenance of his corse. no grass on tees and fairways, greens bumpy like gravel and dead, sand traps not dressed in months, and the members don't rake them ever it seems, although they drive carts all over the coruse as the whole corse looks like pavement anyway. don't waste your money. such a shame, great layout one of my favs I stopped and played at on my way south a couple years ago. It got great potential, but I think the 2.5 year owner is trying to kill the course. too bad.
