Oceanside at Oceanside Golf and Country Club

Oceanside Golf and Country Club sits in Ormond Beach, Florida, a coastal community just north of Daytona Beach along the Atlantic shore. The course was designed by Alex Findlay, a Scottish-born professional and early golf course architect who worked extensively in the southeastern United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Findlay was among the first generation of designers to bring golf to Florida, establishing courses during the state's initial development as a winter resort destination.

The routing takes advantage of the relatively flat coastal terrain characteristic of Florida's Atlantic coast, with fairways shaped by natural vegetation including palms, live oaks, and native grasses. The design reflects the straightforward strategic principles of early American golf architecture, emphasizing playable corridors and greens that reward accurate approach shots. Water features and bunkers provide the primary hazards, typical of courses built in this low-lying coastal environment.

Ormond Beach itself has deep roots in Florida golf history, having attracted wealthy winter visitors in the early 20th century who helped establish the region's golf culture. The area's mild winter climate and proximity to the ocean made it a natural location for resort and club development during this period. Oceanside serves both members and visitors seeking golf in this historic stretch of Florida's east coast, maintaining its role as a community course in a region where the game has been played for well over a century.
