Victoria Hills
Victoria Hills Golf Club: One of the best golf courses you'll find between Orlando and Daytona Beach, and many would argue one of the best in north-east Florida. An impressive, long opening par-4 signals the start of a distinctly Carolina-style golf outing.
Although the names of some golf courses can be misleading, here at Victoria Hills you definitely do get hills, albeit of the gently rolling variety. This highly rated golf course occupies wonderfully undulating, wooded terrain, ensuring a natural and rolling feel to the layout. Included in the attractive design are many finger-styled bunkers and natural sand-areas, the latter usually highlighted and made more visible by tufts of pampas grass.
With very little housing near the course, and most holes lined by woodland and wetland, the layout exudes a fabulously natural feel. All in all, a blissfully natural golfing environment, always easy on the eye, but not without an excellent array of golfing challenges.
Pick of the holes: the stunning 2nd is one of many picturesquely crafted holes. This long par-3 is played over swampy wetland to a stylishly bunkered green.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.
Walking permitted at certain times (usually afternoons)

The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with five wins out of her last five starts on the LPGA Tour. Winning the Chevron Championship also brought the second major championship win of her career.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda's five wins in five starts, when he placed second at the Houston Open. Either side of that, he won The Arnold Palmer, The Players, and then The Masters and The Heritage.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
