Lake Miona's fairways are pretty poor, but it's very close and easy to get on usually. The greens are mostly smallish, but it's cheap and the staff is always friendly.

I enjoy Del Webb's Eagle Ridge up a little way on 441. Good deals, 27 holes, and always in nice shape. Continental is always fun with the 8:30/1:30 shot gun start. It's pretty easy to get on, very close to the southern part of TV, and a challenging tree lined course.

I agree with the other posters that The Links @ Spruce Creek South is a nice convienent course too.

About 15 miles away on Rt 27 in Leesburg is Arlington Ridge which is wide open, doesn't have many hazzards, has huge greens, and is easy to score on.

Just below AR is Plantation. 27 holes with nice elevation changes. Always in nice shape the times I've played it. My favorite nine there, is Crane's Roost.
