Located in Port Orange, just 10 minutes south of Daytona Beach, this city-owned public course is one of the best in Volusia County. Designed by Arthur Hills and Mike Dasher, the 6800-yard layout honored by Golf Digest as one of the "Best Places to Play" is set among acres of natural wildlife with water or wetlands coming into play on 14 holes. Locals and visitors alike rave about the 478-yard, par-four 14th hole with water in play off the tee and on your approach shot. Managed by Kemper Sports, and always in great condition, Cypress Head is one of Central Florida's best kept secrets.

Gary Player Design renovated this course in 2005 to maintain Mr. Player's original concept of favoring strategy, club selection, and shot placement, and took great steps to incorporate new features that will reward rather than penalize players for the average shot. The course is routed through dense woodlands, lakes, and protected wetlands. Always kept in impeccable shape, this picturesque layout is considered one of the top and toughest courses in the area! Located over an hour northeast of Orlando and 30 minutes north of Daytona.

Cypress Course at Grand Club has hosted several tournaments including Florida Womens State Golf Association, 1996 Juniors Tour and The 1996 Oldsmobile Qualifier.

Every club in your bag is needed at The Grand Club's Pine Course, the longest of the four original courses at Palm Coast. Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay created a shotmaking challenge with tree-lined rolling fairways and well-trapped greens. In addition, there's water on 10 holes to add to the difficulty. Take your group back to the tips and the challenge will be all they can handle. The club, now managed by the Hampton Golf Group, underwent major renovations in 2006 and is always kept in premium condition.

A spectacular Jack Nicklaus design, Grand Haven is nature and Nicklaus at their best, combining for a memorable course that utilizes all of Jack's experience as a player and ingenuity as a golf course designer. The course was built using the latest techniques and most technologically advanced turfgrass, so great course conditioning can always be expected. Grand Haven is private and available exclusively to guests of Palm Coast Resort and The Club at Hammock Beach, and is located about 30 minutes north of Daytona Beach.

Bill Amick designed this semi-private course, which is nestled among towering pines, century-old oaks, and natural vegetation. Water comes into play on only two holes, but the layout is still one of the most picturesque and challenging in the area. A beautiful, spacious clubhouse completes this outstanding golf facility. Halifax Plantation is located 15 minutes north of Daytona in Ormond Beach.

The Conservatory Golf Course at Ginn Hammock Beach, a Tom Watson Signature design, offers 140 acres of dramatic elevations and undulating greens not commonly found in Florida. In fact, the Conservatory has the highest slope rating in Florida! With six tee boxes per hole, the Conservatory promises an exciting challenge for all levels of play, and when played from the back tees there is no longer course in the state. Highlighted by man-made waterfalls, babbling brooks and veneered field stone work, the Conservatory offers as much for the senses as it does for the game.

Open since December 2000, the Ginn Hammock Beach Resort's Ocean Course by Jack Nicklaus is set amidst dunes and natural landscape and features more ocean play than any other course on the state's east coast. Six holes overlook the ocean, including the incredible 468-yard, par-4 finishing hole. Birdie here (and sometimes par) will always win you a skin! Lakes, dunes, forested terrain, and five different tee options add to the challenge. No matter what part of Florida you plan on visiting, make sure you stop for at least one night at Hammock Beach to play the Ocean Course along the way. It's that good!

Located in Daytona Beach, LPGA International is an easy hour drive northeast of Orlando, located just off all major roads. The original course -- the Champions -- was chosen by Golf Magazine as one of the nation's "Top 10 Courses to Play." Home of the LPGA and former host of the LPGA Tour's Titleholder's Championship, this Rees Jones design is challenging, picturesque and certainly memorable. Featured are elevated tees and greens, dramatically rolling fairways that are bordered by large mounding and water bordering on 10 holes - always in meticulous playing condition. A first-class driving range with three regulation-length practice holes completes this top-notch facility, along with a clubhouse that boasts all the amenities a resort course is expected to have. Easily worth the drive from Orlando.

Designed by Arthur Hills and opened in 1998, the Legends is the newer of the two courses at LPGA International and a great compliment to its sister course, The Champions. The spectacular layout offers beautiful magnolia and heavily pinetree-lined fairways. Distinctly different from the Champions, the Legends compliments the links-style of its sister course and requires different strategies on each hole. Water borders on just eight holes, where nature abounds and no homes can be found! A wonderful Mediterranean style clubhouse complete with locker rooms, bar and grill and banquet room completes this first-class facility. LPGA International is located just an hour northeast of Orlando, and worth every mile of the drive.

The North course at the Club at Pelican Bay has been a 'member's only' private course for many years until just recently. New ownership converted the club to semi-private and is eager to welcome vacationing golfers to enjoy a terrific golf experience. Hitting it straight is the key to scoring well on the North course as lateral water hazards frame both sides of all eighteen holes. With superb playing conditions and a challenging design, the North course is an enjoyable inclusion to any golf vacation.

Five minutes south of Daytona you'll find Lloyd Clifton's Pelican Bay South. Fairways here are well defined -- some tight, others open and rolling with canals and lakes bordering 14 holes. Continuous improvements are made each year with the emphasis on "better conditioning." Combine this with the low surcharges listed below and you've got an excellent value for golf in Daytona.

Honors & Accolades

This Lloyd Clifton-designed course is located just off I-95 in Ormond Beach, 15 minutes north of Daytona. It features tight, rolling, tree-lined fairways with virtually no water. Most holes require careful club selection. The atmosphere is natural, peaceful, and serene since no residential development has taken place along its fairways. Always in great shape and definitely a worthwhile value at these low surcharges.

There's never been a course like this. For the first time in history, Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus have teamed together and built The King & The Bear at World Golf Village. The two golf legends have collaborated on a truly remarkable course of unparalleled beauty, challenge, and design. The course features loblolly pines and open meadows on the front nine while the natural beauty of 200-year-old live oaks with vast, shady canopies perfectly complement the back. Simply awesome!

The World Golf Village is considered the most ambitious golf project in the history of the game. The first course, The Slammer and The Squire, was designed by architect Bobby Weed and named for golf legends Sam Snead and Gene Sarazen. Golfers of all levels are provided a challenge, yet five sets of tees allow the player to choose a length to meet his or her ability. If the ambiance of the World Golf Village is not enough, the service-oriented approach of the course will impress all visitors.
