Daytona Beach Golf Club

Really old, really nice...

... is this course - South Course - with a beautiful patina because he had to undergo no renewal.

Daytona Beach is best known for car racing in our latitudes - Ferrari's triple victory with the 1967's 330P4 is legend.

We continue to work on our project to play old golf courses. A web page we discovered a few years back helps us with this - Florida Historic Golf Trail.

This beautiful Donald Ross Course has been preserved in its original form - hopefully for a long time - only the water hazards were installed about 30 years ago.

Actually one would have to place such Course under monument protection.

Smaller tea areas, smaller greens and also smaller - but poisonous - sand traps are evidence of the quality at that time.

The quality of the care is good - a bit rustic, especially the sand traps - but it corresponds to the time.

A special feature of this course, on the first nine you have to cross the railway line twice. The honking concert of the engine driver can be heard long before you see the train.

The completely flat course is not particularly difficult, almost all the holes are straight.

We liked the first nine very well.

A good clubhouse and very nice staff, we had a blast.
