by Arthur Hills. Each boasts 18 outstanding holes. LPGA International is a center offer-
ing workshops and teaching programs for professional and amateur women golfers, and
the pro shop carries a great selection of ladies' equipment and clothing. Greens fees with
a cart are usually about $100, lower in summer. Pssst —they let guys play here, too!
A Lloyd Clifton-designed course, the centrally located 18-hole, par-72 Indigo Lakes
Golf Course, 2620 W. International Speedway Blvd. ( & 386/254-3607 ), has flat fair-
ways and large bunkered Bermuda greens. Fees here are about $65 in winter (including
a cart), lower in summer.
The semiprivate South Course at Pelican Bay Country Club, 550 Sea Duck Dr.
( & 386/756-0034; www.pelicanbaygolfclub.com), is one of the area's favorites, with fast
greens to test your putting skills. Fees are about $50 with cart in winter, lower in summer
(no walking allowed). The North Course is for members only.

Yards and Cleveland's Jacobs Field. Tickets are $6 to $12.
WATERSPORTS Watersports equipment, bicycles, beach buggies, and mopeds can be
rented along the Boardwalk, at the ocean end of Main Street (see “Hitting the World's

MUSEUMS & ATTRACTIONS
Halifax Historical Museum Located on Beach Street, Daytona's original river-
front commercial district on the mainland side of the Halifax River (see “Shopping,”
below), this local museum is worth a look just for the 1912 neoclassical architecture of
its home, a former bank. A mural of Old Florida wildlife graces one wall, the stained-
glass ceiling reflects sunlight, and across the room is an original teller's window. The
eclectic collection includes tools and household items from the Spanish and British peri-
ods, thousands of historic photographs, possessions of past residents (even a ball gown
worn at Lincoln's inauguration), and, of course, model cars. A race exhibit opens annu-
ally in mid-January as a stage-setter for Race Week.
252 S. Beach St. (just north of Orange Ave.). & 386/255-6976. www.halifaxhistorical.org. Admission $5
adults, $1 children 11 and under; free Sat for children. Tues-Sat 10am-4pm.
