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.

Layout was great, grass not so much

It looked to be a nice layout. Plenty of decisions and specific landing zones to hit. Elevation changes are a plus in Florida. But couldn't enjoy myself due to the constant tight lies I found myself in. Thin or non existent grass on many fairways and around greens, and bare spots on some greens. My 14° bounce on my 56° sand wedge was the wrong club for this! Thin shots causing unpredictable distances. Would love this course if it had grass.

Great lay out

The landscaping and sand traps need attention. The traps are very hard with packed sand almost need to be tilled or agitated in some way to loosen the sand up. You have to play sand shots like hard pan can’t just blast the ball out with a splash shot. Greens and fairways are great.

Grazing sheep would starve

The golf course has one of the finest layouts in central Fl. Unfortunately the new ownership of the course will not put the money into upkeep and course condition improvements. Right now sheep would starve if they were set out to graze in the fairways, they are losing them rapidly. If they grazed in the rough on #’s 12&13, they could survive for many years. It’s a shame because this could be one of the finest golf attractions around.

Great Bones

This course is a great layout, unfortunately management has neglected the upkeep and the fairways, greens, bunkers and just the total ambience is gone. The ladies at the 19th that have been there for many years are the only reason I will go back. Such a shame to let a great course go down and then try to charge the same money that other quality tracks are getting.

VH Decline

A terrific track that is so poorly maintained in all areas that it is unplayable. Poor practice areas, tees almost unrecognizable, below average greens and very little grass in fairways, rough. Steady decline over last 3 years. Owner s fighting a losing battle.

Needs to be a serious infusion of money and could be returned to a top course in northern Florida.

SLOW!!!

I’ve always liked this track. Beautiful and a lot of variety. It was in good-not-great shape. They had a club drop off cart guy which is a nice touch so checking in was seamless. Once on the course however they allowed lots of singles and twosomes so the pace was horrendous. There were a bunch of newcomers which isn’t normal here so that may have been the reason.

Nice track

First time playing this course. I was fortunate that my time was early and I started well behind the prior group…even as a single I never caught them. The course was in decent shape. A couple tee boxes were ondee construction and the greens were a little weedy but playable. I did enjoy the layout and willl likely add this to my rotation in the area.

Decent track

Bring your bug spray because mosquito’s were out of control!! No cart girl, restaurant closes @ 3pm on Sundays. Some trees down but didn’t interrupt play. Greens were rolling quick and no standing water. Overall course is in good condition but lack of drinks/food was a bummer.

Crabgrass no addressed

Surprising a course like this does not or cannot take care of the ongoing crabgrass on the greens issues. Do they not want to hire a competent greenskeeper? Putts are impossible due to bumping into clumps of crabgrass all over all 18 greens. Been like that as long as I can recall.

Improving

Last out here about 6 months ago and it has improved quite a bit, specifically the greens. Fairways and tee boxes still a bit rough in spots but also appears to have handled the hurricane well; remarkably dry and firm. Greens rolling pretty quick and mostly true aside from the invasive grass.

Layout is one of the best in central Florida and hopefully the conditions keep going in the right direction to match the great bones!

It was exceptional…not so much now

I’ve been playing this course since it opened and when it was an exceptional course. Sadly, time has not been kind. The fairways are in terrible shape, with uneven terrain making it a challenge to get to your ball with all your teeth still intact. Most of the greens are in decent shape and the layout is great. Before all the houses came in on the back nine, you couldn’t find a more scenic course. I had a 5 some playing in front of me and finally just passed them after a few holes. Obviously, members or residents of the area. It’s been going on a steady downhill fall but after a hurricane last week, it was at least open. It drains well but needs some TLC.
