I live in West Volusia and there are not many places to play. Out of the places we have on the West side of Volusia I would put Deltona second to DeBary Golf and Country. Victoria used to be the top course but it has gone through some ownership changes and the course condition really has suffered. Deltona is in good condition and that gives it the nod over Victoria at the moment.

West Volusia doesn’t have many options. This is the best one in the area. Nice layout, great conditions and lots of staff. They even had a mobile beverage cart.

Play here probably 2 to 3 times a month, only option in DeLand. The greens were in much better shape. Tee boxes had a few: 1, 10 & 11 that were not in great shape (always bad from memory) but the others were good. Fairways were good. Rough was a mile high, first I have ever seen it that high. Practice putting green had a large dead spot. Hope they can fix the trouble spots and get the rough maintained. Price would be acceptable if those things were taken care of — DeBary G&C is the better option at the moment.

The course has seen better days. I would pay $35 around and feel OK but not $65 or above.

It’s a nice course but not as nice when it was originally opened. Everything needs a little work to get it back to prime. Course layout is great and not a typical flat Florida course. I hope the new ownership does that and it will be back to a top ranked course for the area.

Victoria Hills is a great round. Good condition good staff and good weather this time. Pace of play was good as well. It is my course of choice.

Hidden Lakes is always a solid choice for value and good pace. I played here over two dozen times, but this time check in staff bumped the tee time up earlier than what was booked on GolfNow and tried to rush us to the tee box. I know it’s busy but please don’t make it my problem that they course is overbooked. After playing 9 the pace of play greatly improved, since the walkers in front of us only played 9. Overall a great time, but apparently get there early.

First time playing Inidigo. It was a nice layout, nice fairway and tee box grass. The greens were not as good but still very playable. Will go back.

DeBary G&C is a very consistent course in terms of condition. It is always taken care of and they don't charge an arm and a leg to play out there. Only small gripe is that we had to wait on several holes due to a backlog with the course members. I for mind it, but it was a small gripe. Overall, I will come back.

For the money, this is the best course in DeLand and arguably in West Volusia, with DeBary golf and country coming in second for the area.
