PRESTWICK GOLF CLUB AT PLANTATION BAY
🇺🇸 Ormond Beach, FL, USA
Designed by Lloyd Clifton
Prestwick at Plantation Bay is a Lloyd Clifton design located within the Plantation Bay Golf & Country Club community in Ormond Beach, Florida. The course opened in the mid-1990s as part of a larger residential development that includes multiple golf courses. Clifton, who worked extensively in Florida during this period, created a layout that navigates the region's characteristic flat terrain and integrates water features and natural wetlands common to courses along Florida's Atlantic coast.
The routing takes advantage of the property's preserved natural areas, with several holes playing alongside or across water hazards that serve both strategic and environmental functions. Live oaks and native vegetation frame many fairways, providing definition in an otherwise open landscape. The course features relatively generous landing areas off the tee, with much of the challenge concentrated around the greens, where water placement and bunkering require careful approach play.
Plantation Bay operates as a private community amenity, serving primarily the residential membership within the development. The club maintains multiple courses on the property, and Prestwick functions as one component of the overall golf offering. The Ormond Beach location places it just north of Daytona Beach, in a region with a long history of golf course development dating to Florida's early twentieth-century resort era, though Plantation Bay itself represents the later wave of residential golf communities that expanded through the state in the 1990s.
