I love the layout but they've had some issues particularly with the greens. Poa is growing on the greens making them unplayable.

I love the people, staff but I cannot recommend at any price based on current conditions. I'll wait another month to play again to see if there are improvements.

I wish them the best.

I played at the request of my foursome and booked a hot deal (39) through Golfnow. Normal price is $50 or so through the course's website.

The fairways have a large amount of poa weeds growing and the greens were recently sanded. The gress are tiny - not smail - tiny. As an example, the green on the 2nd hole (a par 5) is 30 feet long and 5 or 6 feet wide. Considering that any approach shot has to be made to a green that is elevated by some 4 or five yards and trying to get it on the green is almost impossible (I hit a shot from 75 yards and was able to hit and stay on the fringe).

Poor design, poor conditions. The pace was great as there were only a fees folks playing. I wish them well but won't be back any time soon.

I've never played a course with greens this small.

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.

I have never liked the layout, small greens with to much undulation, wet areas are always wet, pace of play is always 4 and a half hours or more (typically because members jump in to play extra holes or play as a 5some.). But course is in great shape.

The greens are heavily sanded and, because of recent rain, the sand accumulated in"ribs" on the greens making them unplayable. Another issue is the 3 fivesomes we ran into on the course.

Deltona team - note that a course that allows fivesomes to play in peak season on a weekend - I feel you don't appreciate your other customers. It appears that it is condoned as one of the 5somes was on the first tee.

Fivesomes will kill a course. Not sure that's what you want.

Front 9 holes are a mess. Greens are rolled dirt on most of them. Tee boxes need work, fairways need grass. Layout is great, staff members are great, club house is fantastic and range is so so.
Back nine greens are great, run true, fast, tee boxes are good, fairways are good. Layout is spectacular.
Money has been spent on the back. Now, they need to figure how to grow grass on the front nine.
I love the people, the layout and the elevation changes. Cannot wait for the team to tackle the front nine and make that as good as the back.

I have been playing Deltona club for years and witnessed its ups and downs. Greens are sandy but roll ok. Average speed and, because they are sandy, don't always roll true. Fairways are ok, traps need some work (green side bunkers are fine but the other "water/rain capture" bunkers have too many weeds in them. The staff are always friendly and great at what they do. Hopefully, the greens will get back to the great condition that they once were.

Fairways are probably the best in the county. Greens are horrible with holes from dug out weeds, sanded but no way to make a putt - ever. Greens were also inconsistent. For a county owned course, you'd think they'd do better. Tee boxes are like upside down bowls - no even lie to tee from - they are just terrible. Layout is moderately challenging and we enjoyed the fairways. But a good lie in the fairway is ruined by a great shot to the green with no chance to make the putt. Will not be back until there are improvements. Only good thing with the round is we got a hot deal and did not pay the stupidly high rate the course was charging for the conditions. Staff is great. Carts need to be replaced as some are almost dangerous to drive/ride in.

Course was in great condition but they allowed a 6-some to play (supposedly best ball but not really). Caught up to them on the 10th hole and they proceeded to play at a 2 hour 45 minute back (not too bad for 6 but it should not have been allowed). They must have spent a lot in the bar...

Was cart path only and crowded but always fun to play the course. My wife and I joined up with a young twosome on the third hole. We enjoyed our round, and the walking and the twosome were very nice and fun to play with.

They have a way to go but they are on it. Course is in the best condition has has been in since last year. The drought had a lot to do with the decline in conditions which have been corrected thanks to mother nature and the team caring for the course.

Although the greens were recently aerated (within a month), they were surprisingly true if not a tad slow (as opposed to fast and very bumpy several months back). New grass growing in the fairways (along with some weeds) is a very dramatic improvement. I commend the superintendent and staff on the work that they put in to improve the course (and mother nature helped as well with the rain we've been having). I've added the course back into my daily rotation. And so should you.

Great fairways, most of the tee boxes were in good shape (a few need some work). Greens were slow and bumpy.

Not a bad round but wished greens were in better shape.

Course conditions are a little rough around the edges but does not impact playability. Layout is one of a kind in Florida. Elevation changes, downhill shots, uphill shots, everything is there to make your round interesting. The people that work there are great. I mean really great and they make the experience even better. They are worth the drive no matter where you are coming from. Give them a try.

I arrived at the course and checked in. We had an out of town visitor with us who does not play golf. Over the years of playing this course, a rider (with a rider fee) during the summer season was not an issue. It was an issue for this occasion. I am not questioning the message. I am questioning the tone of the message's delivery.

I was told that there were not enough carts and that, if we wanted to play, the "rider" would have to walk home (some 35 miles). I offered to walk the course so we could play as a foursome (including the member he had us placed with). No walkers allowed I was told. That member said he'd play with another member but that member was not on the tee sheet (and the pro shop member took issue with that) and offered up some comments to that member. He was belligerent, disrespectful, talking down to me as if I were a child.

I am a retired corporate executive. If one of my staff members talked to a customer with the tone and disrespectful language, I would have terminated him on the spot. Customer service is the key to a business success. We will not be back, nor with my foursome that I book several times a month.

Most tee boxes bare, greens are horrible, cost equals conditions so okay for a practice round. Overall, you can do better at a course costing twice as much. Needs a lot of work to get in the condition it was years ago.

Course conditions are exceptional. Layout is average Florida course in a community. Great team in the Pro Shop. Greens are always "almost" perfect., smooth and true. Layout is your typical Florida layout the meanders through a fly in community (airport can be viewed on first, ninth holes). Love the conditions and the team that works there.

Greens were fast but bumpy because of the grass changes/weeds on them. Tee boxes okey, fairways good. Price a little too high for conditions and compared to surrounding course options. Play if a hot deal and you are willing to miss putts because of green conditions and not the $50+ rack rate. .

Great layout and much improved with new owner. Great greens, layoutis terrific and staff were friendly. Worth the drive.

I've always loved the layout and now I almost love the course. The maintenance team has been putting in a lot of work to improve the course conditions. Greens are good, some of the tee boxes have been repaired, the fairway still needs a little work to fill in the bare spots but the staff remains great. Only complaint is the rack rate of $54 is way too high when compared to other courses in Volusia that are in better playing condition. Knock it down $10 and they'll be in line with other courses with similar or better conditions. Now, I wait on hot deals to bring the price into a more competitive range.
