DeBary Golf & Country Club

DeBary Golf & Country Club: Located three miles off the Interstate Highway (I-4) near Deltona, and equidistant between Orlando and Daytona Beach - not always obvious that this handsomely crafted and attractive course is routed through a residential development - a pleasantly natural feel to much of this layout - the housing, which lines both sides of most holes, is kept discreetly tucked-way behind plenty of tall pines, oaks and smaller bushes - water is only in play at the close of each nine-hole loop, with the 9th and 18th arriving back at the clubhouse, their respective greens flanked by a small, fountain-adorned lake - with water not too much in evidence, and an absence of penal rough, large and expansive bunkering provides the principal hazard, added to which are one or two tightish drives to be made onto the generally good-width, rolling, tree-lined fairways - many attractive holes occupy pleasantly undulating terrain, with the tall pines providing an impressive backdrop to several holes - defended by imposingly large bunkers, the greens are often small, round and full of subtle breaks and borrows - with its attractive collection of well-bunkered par-3 holes, DeBary sets up to provide a fair and enjoyable golfing challenge.
