Daytona Beach Golf

As is true of virtually every destination in the state, Daytona Beach is a good place to base yourself if you want to enjoy some quality golf in Florida. There are some two dozen golf courses within half an hour drive of downtown Daytona Beach, which is part of the reason why a Daytona Beach golf vacation can be so ideal. Figure in the courses in regional destinations like Orlando and Jacksonville, and the golfing opportunities only expand. Golfing in Daytona Beach can satisfy even the most seasoned of golfers, so start planning your visit today. There's at least one Daytona Beach golf course with your name on it.

One of the best things about golfing in Daytona Beach is that you don't have to break the bank to have a good time. The holes are challenging and the fees are more than reasonable at the Daytona Beach Golf Club, which is the city's prized municipal course. Found at 600 Wilder Blvd., the Daytona Beach Golf Club features 36 holes, eighteen of which are part of the South Course, and the other eighteen of which comprise the North Course. While the South Course can be demanding, thanks to the difficult approach shots, the North Course is the more difficult of the two. It boasts more water hazards, not to mention some undulating greens that can be tricky to putt. Carts are available if you don't want to walk at the Daytona Beach Golf Club, and the facilities include a pro shop, a lighted driving range, chipping and putting greens, and a restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

If you have some room in the budget, three other golf courses in Daytona Beach that you will do well to play include the Indigo Lakes Golf Course, the South Course at the Pelican Bay Country Club, and the beautiful course at the Halifax Plantation Golf Club. The Indigo Lakes Golf Course is consistently ranked as one of the top golf courses in Florida, which has a lot to do with the overall quality of the layout. Five sets of tees are available on all eighteen holes at Indigo Lakes, which means that golfers of all levels can have a good time. The rates are more than fair here, and as is customary at all of the golf courses in Daytona Beach, they go down in the summer. Over at the Pelican Bay Country Club, the semiprivate South Course also does well to attract plenty of attention, thanks in part to the fast and fair greens. Designed by Lloyd Clifton, this winding eighteen hole stretch features attractive water hazards and healthy greens, not to mention a relaxed setting that should help you keep your cool should you be having an off day.

One of the best golf courses in Daytona Beach is the eighteen-hole course at the Halifax Plantation Club, and you'll want to include it on your list of places to play. Old Oak trees and a rolling terrain help to add to the golfing experience here, and the rates are among the best around. Thanks to the rates at courses like this one, you can really consider trying out different courses when golfing in Daytona Beach. In addition to sticking to some of the more affordable golf courses in Daytona Beach, those who are looking to save on greens fees will also want to consider the Daytona Beach golfing packages. These special vacation packages can include discounted rates on some of the top area courses, not to mention discounts on your lodging and a rental car if you need one.
