Staff issues

I purchased a teatime to play on 1 August. By the 4th hole bad weather had moved in and lightning forced us to leave the round. I went to the clubhouse and was issued a rain check for the unplaced holes. Though I stopped after 4 holes it was only a partial raincheck, which I believed to be for only 9 holes. That is fairly standard, and I understand that.

Today I went to play my unfinished round (9 holes) and was told I would have to pay $6.00 additional to play the 9 holes. I was stunned by this. The head pro (Jeff) was abrupt with me and blew me off when I didn’t accept his explanation of this additional charge. He told me “it’s always been this way” which I contested saying “No, it hasn’t.” He said he’d been there three years and it’s always been that way.

I went to speak to the General Manager (Scott) and he reiterated all that Jeff had said. I’d have to pay an additional charge (to pay for 9 holes that had already been paid for. I made no progress with anyone and gave Scott the rain check and left.

I won’t be returning to this course until their policy and/or the staff changes.

Elizabeth at Military teetimes resolved this for me promptly with a credit, but I’ll use it elsewhere.

Anyone using GolfNow or Military teetimes should be aware of this policy.

Course is in better shape than it has been in recent years. Staff very friendly, Pro Shop amenities very limited. Played by myself and no waiting so played quite briskly. Enjoyed it very much

No water on any of the tee boxes. No signs on the tee boxes to display the hole layout. A shelter in the middle of each nine holes with a water jug and toilet. No cart girl. How do you expect to have people play golf here in the middle of summer with no adequate water for hydration and no cart girl? Ridiculous. Our golf cart was backfiring all 18 holes - it's a wonder we made it around the course. Many of the greens had little dirt piles all over them where weeds had been sprayed (I guess). Made putting very difficult.

I love this course - one of my favorites in Central Florida. I submit #12 is one of the best par 5's in the state. It's one of my favorites anyway. Pace was pretty sad - mostly because those in front of us didn't know enough to let a faster group through. That alone could have spoiled my outing - need an on-course marshal when it is busy.

a great day at the golf course

I live in DeLand, 2 miles from a well known course. I have no problem driving past it to get to DeBary. I've been playing at DeBary almost since it's beginning. I play all the courses in this area but DeBary is at the top of my list. It is the best course and best layout in central Florida. Love it. Highly recommend it. If you live anywhere in central Florida, take the time to come to DeBary and play the finest.

I cannot recommend this course to anyone at this time

We were stuck behind the Men's Outing for the day. Many must have been local as it was common to see a foursome with 4 carts, all in their own personal carts. We didn't come across a rake in a sand trap until the 9th hole so no one was able to rake out their prints. The tee boxes were horrible, I felt like I was teeing up in a bunker a lot of the time. Greens had lots of bare spots, lots of weeds, and the course was inundated with trees down from Hurricane Matthew which was almost 6 months ago. We did not see one maintenance or greens keeping staff on the course the entire day thought there was plenty of work for them to be about. The conditions were really unfortunate because this was once a very nice course to play. I doubt if I'll be back for a long time to come as there are too many courses in the local area to keep me golfing.
