DeBary Country Club
Situated on the northern fringe of Orlando, DeBary Country Club provides a distinctive golfing experience set against a backdrop more akin to the Carolinas than Central Florida. Characterized by a minimalistic use of water and dense, verdant border zones that separate the course from the community, this semiprivate club offers an inviting atmosphere of seclusion. Designed by Lloyd Clifton, DeBary presents a challenging layout that has seen it consistently chosen as a U.S. Open Qualifying site.
One unique aspect of DeBary Country Club is its status as a bird sanctuary, certified by the National Audubon Society. This connection to nature is most evident at the Par 5 11th hole and the last two holes of each nine, where water comes into play and offers stunning vistas from the refined clubhouse. To complete the golfing experience, DeBary provides comprehensive practice facilities including a driving range, a chipping green, and a putting green.
The accolades bestowed upon DeBary Golf & Country Club attest to its prestige. Multiple times recipient of the Four-Star Club recognition by Golf Digest, it has also hosted high-profile events like the U.S. Open Qualifying. DeBary was listed among Florida's Favorite 100 by Florida Golf News magazine in 2003 and won the Readers Choice Awards for Best Golf Shop and Best Public Golf Course in West Volusia County for two consecutive years in 2013 and 2014.
Beyond the fairways, DeBary Country Club boasts excellent dining at the Innovations Bar & Grille. This club is more than a golfing destination—it's a place where families can escape the distractions of everyday life and immerse themselves in a resort-style living. It also doubles as an accommodating conference center for businesses, making it an all-encompassing hub of leisure and productivity. The club extends a warm invitation for visitors to join and experience the myriad benefits and camaraderie of club life.
