About this course
Oceans West is an 18-hole course at Oceans Golf Club in Daytona Beach Shores, designed by Bill Amick. The course occupies a coastal Florida setting along the state's central Atlantic shoreline, where the flat terrain and proximity to the ocean influence both routing and playing conditions. Amick, a regional architect active primarily in the southeastern United States during the latter decades of the twentieth century, worked within the constraints typical of Florida resort and residential golf: limited elevation change, sandy soils, and the need to integrate housing or accommodate real estate development. The layout reflects standard Florida design characteristics of the era, with water hazards—both natural and constructed—playing a significant role in strategy and aesthetics. Bermudagrass fairways and greens are common to the region's climate, and prevailing winds off the Atlantic can affect play, particularly on holes with east-west orientation. The course serves both resort guests and local membership in the Daytona Beach area, a destination known more for its motorsports heritage and beach tourism than for championship golf. Oceans West functions as an accessible daily-fee or semi-private facility, typical of many Florida coastal courses that balance visitor play with member access. The Daytona Beach Shores location places it within a corridor of golf courses serving the broader Volusia County market, where golf complements the area's tourism infrastructure.

Getting there
Most arrivals to Oceans Golf Club begin at Orlando International Airport, roughly an hour's drive northeast along Interstate 4 before merging onto the coastal corridor toward Daytona Beach Shores. The final miles trace the barrier island's narrow spine, where the Atlantic stretches endlessly to the east and the Intracoastal Waterway glimmers to the west, framing the approach in salt air and low-slung Florida light. For those seeking discretion, Daytona Beach International offers a quieter gateway just twenty minutes north, while private aircraft can touch down seamlessly at the same facility. The club itself sits tucked within this slender ribbon of sand, a serene enclave where the rhythm of the ocean sets the pace long before the first tee.
