For whatever reason, The Deltona Club is a Central Florida course that you don’t seem to hear much about! I booked my round here mainly because it was convenient to Victoria Hills. But, somehow I stumbled across a brilliant course – one of those hidden gems!

The Deltona Club was originally designed by David Wallace in the 1960’s and was known as Deltona Hills Golf and Country Club for many years. Then, in 2008, the course re-opened after a renovation by Bobby Weed! Weed has done plenty of work in Florida, including some great stuff at Brooksville Country Club.

The bunkering at Deltona Club is incredible! The sand doesn’t come into play nearly as much as you’d expect, as many of the large bunkers are around the tees or set back from play. I don’t hit the ball particularly straight and only ended up in two greenside bunkers and one fairway bunker. None of them were difficult to play from!

Besides the eye-popping bunkering The Deltona Club lies on hilly terrain, which is the other element that makes the course unique! Throughout the round you get a nice mix of uphill and downhill holes. Not surprisingly, I found the holes with some elevation change to be the most interesting.

For $25 the conditions were outstanding! The fairways had good coverage and the ball sat up, with a little cushion beneath it. You’ll get some thin lies, but that is the nature of Florida golf this time of year. The greens were smooth and rolled with enough pace that I had to be defensive. The sand was good and I needed to swing hard to blast it out.

I doubt you'll be disappointed playing the Deltona Club.

Just a short distance off the I-4. Friendly staff, was able to tee off early. No starter for the afternoon, but this was not an issue for us. Our Twosome behind a Threesome that was very slow at times mostly due to being bad golfers (worse than us LOL).

Since this was our first time to play the course, it was a bit confusing. It was hard to tell where the holes led since no diagrams on the holes (we saw just one of the 18 holes marked) and nothing on the scorecard or cart. Not many water hazards (unusual for FL) but more than compensated by lots of bunkers.

Greens were in excellent shape although the fairways are still showing the affect of our mild winter drought.

Only major drawback was the Pace of Play -- it took us 4 3/4 hours to play 18 holes due to slow players ahead and no Ranger.

Would most definitely recommend playing this course.

Played Deltona Golf Club on May 30,2013. It is recovering rapidly from a complete aerification. The front is further along than the back nine. The greens were slow but putted truly in spite of the recent punching. This is a fun course with many elevation changes. Very challenging, with seemingly many holes playing uphill to the greens. Well trapped, however there were very few rakes around, hence footprints in many traps. One thing unusual for Florida, there we NO water hazards. I found all the holes quite different. And, the price was right, however this made the course crowded. A good value.
