DeBary at DeBary Golf & Country Club

DeBary Golf & Country Club occupies a setting in DeBary, Florida, a community situated along the St. Johns River corridor in Volusia County, roughly midway between Orlando and Daytona Beach. The course was designed by Lloyd Clifton, a regional architect active in Florida during the latter decades of the twentieth century. Clifton's work in the state typically emphasized playability for a range of skill levels while working within the constraints of Florida's flat terrain and water management requirements.

The layout reflects the characteristic features of central Florida golf: relatively level terrain punctuated by water hazards that serve both strategic and drainage functions, native vegetation including palms and oaks, and fairways bordered by residential development. The design incorporates lakes and wetland areas that come into play on multiple holes, requiring golfers to navigate both forced carries and approach shots where water protects greens. Bunkers provide additional definition around landing areas and putting surfaces.

DeBary Golf & Country Club functions as a private facility serving its residential community. The course provides a setting for member play and social activities typical of Florida country club environments, where golf operates alongside other amenities as part of the broader residential lifestyle. The layout offers a straightforward test suited to regular play rather than championship competition, consistent with Clifton's approach to neighborhood course design in the region.
