Ten Golf Courses, Award-Winning Rounds

It's a land-based sport, sure, but water features are often backdrops at championship public golf courses in the New Smyrna Beach Area.

Year-round, the New Smyrna Beach Area has a long history of hosting some of Florida’s best play — including the Indian River Open, held annually for more than 50 years — and area courses include the New Smyrna Beach Golf Club, established in 1948, where rolling greens are dotted with towering palms and windswept pines.

A Course for Every Player

From historic design to modern innovation, golf in the New Smyrna Beach Area offers something for every style of play. Tee off at the New Smyrna Beach Golf Club, a classic 1948 Donald Ross layout that appeals to golfers who appreciate timeless architecture, or experience interactive Toptracer Range technology at Turnbull Bay Golf & Country Club.

Public courses like Hidden Lakes Golf Club and Cypress Head Golf Club add even more variety, creating a diverse and accessible golf scene just minutes from the coast. Explore the courses and find the round that fits your game.

The 19th hole: Dining in the Area

With on-site dining available at several courses, it’s easy to stay awhile after the final putt. Enjoy a relaxed meal at The Grille at New Smyrna Golf Club, grab a bite at The 19th Hole Restaurant at Hidden Lakes, or unwind at Venetian Bay Bar & Grill at The Club at Venetian Bay.

Beyond the fairways, the New Smyrna Beach Area serves up everything from fresh seafood and laid-back breweries to chef-driven dining with coastal views — perfect for celebrating a great round or easing into the evening.

Come For The Golf, Stay For The Beaches

Hotels and vacation rentals in the New Smyrna Beach Area make it easy to plan a golf trip that fits your tee party, whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, or with a full foursome (or more).

With a mix of challenging courses nearby, you can spend your mornings chasing birdies and your afternoons unwinding by the ocean, then wake up the next day ready to do it all again—golf first, beach always.
