Try a Round at Glen Abbey
Just a few miles south of Orange City and the RV resort is Glen Abbey Golf Club in the town of DeBary. The 18-hole, par 72, semi-private course is 6,661 yards from the championship tees. Opened in 1974, Glen Abbey offers a driving range and tree-lined fairways. Crepe myrtle, elderberry, and oleander plants complementing native oaks and pines are also among the course. Although, there are no parallel fairways, water hazards come into play on eight holes. Also, there are 80 strategically-placed bunkers. But, if you’re looking for more golf, there are courses all throughout the county including Orlando and Daytona Beach.
Given its name – the Glen Abbey Golf Club – you might imagine that someone up above is looking down on your golf game. So, if you feel you need a little more divine assistance, visit Cassadaga where spirituality is the name of the game. Specifically, Cassadaga Spiritualist Camp might provide the answers to your shaky putting game. Or, it may even fix that constant slice you’ve perfected.
