One of Florida’s Highest-Rated Daily Fee Courses Offers Unlimited Discount Rates Throughout the Summer
(DELAND, Fla.) – Victoria Hills Golf Club – an award-winning, Ron Garl designed course owned by The St. Joe Company and managed by Billy Casper Golf – announces its 2009 “Summer Card Club Program,” offering unlimited, discounted golf throughout the summer for the introductory price of $99.
When purchased, golfers receive an introductory free round with GPS-equipped cart and unlimited rates of $32.99 on weekdays and $39.99 on weekends from now through September. This affordable program is available for anyone by calling the main golf course phone number, 386.738.6000.
“The Summer Card Club Program is a value-driven proposition for returning players and an enticing hook for new golfers to become loyal guests at Victoria Hills,” says Matt Payne, General Manager and Head Golf Professional. “In this economy, golfers are in search of value and options, and the Summer Card Club Program fits the bill by providing both.”
Tucked away in the historic college town of DeLand, Victoria Hills is conveniently located off Interstate 4, easily in reach in under 30 minutes for both Orlando-area and Daytona Beach golfers. Designed by Lakeland-based Ron Garl, the stunning layout boasts more than 50 feet of elevation change, taking advantage of the area’s natural rolling hills, foliage and wetlands. Tall pines and majestic oaks frame the course while sandy natural areas and pristine lakes make for inspiring sight lines.
Game improvement and player retention are at Victoria Hills’ core mission: the Garl-designed practice facility features 90 hitting stations, a large putting green and chipping area and practice bunkers that emulate true course conditions. The Victoria Hills Golf Academyopened in January, offering programs targeted to juniors, beginners, intermediate players and lower handicappers who can enroll in courses designed to match their experience and skills.
After the round, golfers can relax at Mulligan’s Tavern & Grille with a variety of options for all diners — an elegant dining room, tavern style bar and an outside dining facility with stunning views of the course. The highly-rated restaurant features former celebrity Chef Scot Choquette.
