Just played my first round ever here and I couldn't have had a better experience. After being…read moreinvited to play in a tournament I was really looking forward to getting out and enjoying the day with my friends and making new ones. The weather was absolutely beautiful as were the greens - the fairways were a little dry even after torrential rains the day before but we still manage to shoot a solid round. The course is pretty wide open and although there are a few challenging holes I think it's a course you can shoot a reality low score if you manage this course rather than let it tempt you to ignore the risk on some of the more challenging holes. The staff here is very friendly and provided outstanding customer service on the course in the club house, restaurant and bar. I loved that on most of the holes requiring a driver you could swing away and the course rewarded you with a great opportunity to get to the greens in regulation providing lots of of eagle and birdie opportunities. The greens were pretty true and fairly easy to read but were extremely fast so if you "hit a house" you won't like the results when you blow by the hole. This is a course I definitely want to take on one on one verses the scramble I played today, although the "par is your friend" format was fun and rewarding as it should be. The prices here are very reasonable at the club house, restaurant and bar. This course if definitely a hidden and non-pretentious gem in NSB - I will definitely return...

One of the greatest remaining mysteries of New Smyrna Beach is the identity of the ruins in "Old…read moreFort" Park. Are the ruins the remains of a Spanish fortress built in the 1500's, other theories abound is the structure a foundation for the Turnbull's Palace, or the beginnings of a Catholic Church, or a Turnbull period warehouse? The structure's exterior buttresses and walls of "three foot thick" coquina, clearly remind one of other Spanish forts; one thing seems abundantly clear this site has been a multi-purpose foundation for hundreds of years and I tend to believe the last use of the property was the site of the Sheldon Hotel and a collection of smaller businesses Including the town's post office and general store. If your planning to be in New Smyrna Beach and like historic sites this is probably one stop you should make, located on the corner of Julia Street and Riverside Drive in the Old Fort Park it's easily accessible and free of charge. Marker Inscription This coquina foundation rests within a shell midden from the Timucuan Indian era. Mystery still surrounds the origin of this foundation. Jane and John Sheldon built a large hotel on this mound circa 1859. During the Civil War, the structure was destroyed by cannon fire from Union ships. After the Civil War, Jane Sheldon built a smaller structure that served as a pioneer general store, port collector's office, boarding house and print shop, which published The Florida Star, one of the region's early newspapers. Structural problems forced the building's removal circa 1900...

(Zak must have been thinking of this place when he wrote those lyrics) The ultimate sand island in the middle of Ponce Inlet where the water is warm and clear and the drinks are ice cold. This piece of paradise appears at low tide and provides the perfect venue to drop anchor and jump in the water. There's never a shortage of boats, music and sunshine. This would be the reason you own a boat if you live in NSB cause that's the only way to get to this party. When the tide starts rushing in it's time to go and the island sinks below the surface and nothing but great memories remain. You should be jealous LOL :-)

It's an called an interpretive trail because it has lots of information on signs as you walk along the paths. The whole area got hammered by a monstrous wildfire in the summer of 1998 that burned almost half of the huge area. Now lots of young pine trees dot the area from the reforestation that took place and fire breaks, burned trees, and scrub from the preventive fires are obvious. This isn't a vast or strenuous hike, it's best to go slow and read the signs and look for different critters and plants. It's well marked and very easy to hike and a nice place to take the little ones to teach them about nature. Lots of strange and exotic flora in the forest, and having the signs identify them is a cool idea. There is even the remains of an old turpentine camp that housed the workers that produced the pitch, rosin and turpentine. Just pieces are left and it would be easy to walk right by it if not for the markers. A cool place to come for a couple of hours of slow hiking and learning. There is even a little lake and picnic area for when you are through with the hiking. A very cool place that allows you to learn while you walk.
