HALIFAX PLANTATION GOLF CLUB (386-676-9600)
Florida Golf Course Review
Halifax Plantation is considered by many to be one of the top golf facilities in the Daytona Beach area. The clubhouse is one of the most comprehensive
we have seen. Featured in this colonial designed structure is pro shop, Tavern by the Green" restaurant/lounge that is open for breakfast, lunch and
dinner with a special Sunday Brunch, a conference room that can seat up to 20 people and a Grand Ballroom that can accommodate up to 250 guests.
There also is a pub where guests can watch sporting events and dine on casual fare. The restaurant is known far and wide as one of the Daytona areas
finest eateries, featuring a wide array of homemade specialties!
Guests can enjoy beautiful locker rooms with showers - available for the paying public. Practice facilities include a targeted grass range, short game area
with sand bunker and putting green. Weather covers are standard on all carts, and the course is well marked from tee to green. 100, 150 and 200 yard
markers (stakes and blocks) are positioned in the fairways and sprinkler heads are measured to the center of the green. Pin Placement information is
included on each score card, which also provide a course layout with hole diagrams.
There are five sets of tees that play to distances and slopes measuring 7102 yards/128 slope, 6691 yards/124 slope, 6215 yards/120 slope, 5627
yards/111 slope for men and 125 for women, and 4922 yards with a slope of 118 for women hitting from the red tees. The tee boxes, cart paths and areas
around the green are magnificently landscaped, with pampas, flowers and tropical foliage meticulously cared for.
The layout is player friendly, with ample tree lined fairways that lead to large undulating greens that are slightly raised. The playing surfaces are Bermuda
with rye over-seed during winter months - and on our late February visit the course was in great shape from tee to green - and we are told the putting
surfaces are some of the area's best - all year round. There are 41 soft sand bunkers strategically located along the fairways or greenside, and water comes into play on just 3 holes.
Rates including cart top out at just $65 prime time in 2006. For more information on Halifax Plantation golf Club, visit our page for the course with direct link to their website by clicking here.
