Deercroft Golf Club
About
Deercroft Golf Club is located just 20 minutes South of Pinehurst has twice been the site for PGA qualifying schools as well as PGA Senior tour qualifying events. Readers of golfweek have voted Deercroft one of "America's Best Courses" for six consecutive years.
The course features lush fairways, manicured bent-grass greens and views that are out-of-this world.
Probably because of the few extra minutes' drive necessary to reach the course, the green fees are among the most reasonable in the area, especially when you consider the quality of the golf.

Excellent Course
Greens were near perfect, with some good slopes to work through. Fairways were well groomed. A very intersting course without a lot of crowd to content with. We had a twosome and played through one foursome at #4, then it we didn't see the group in front of us until teeing up on 18. Excellent course and pace of play. An easy 20-25 minute ride from Pinehurst, it was worth the drive. Only downside was greenside sand traps were pretty hardpacked.
Great greens! Great price
This course gets better every time I visit. Nice people, wonderful greens and fairways, and a great value. The cart path is a little ruff in places, but that is really the only thing I felt needed some work. Everything else is perfect. We have several golf courses that are closer to home, but I would rather drive the extra miles to this one.
greens and fairways are spectacular
course is under new ownership.they are renovating landscaping,cartpaths etc.couple of more years it will be top shelf.very reasonable rates
Nice little course a bit away from the crowd
When I fly into NC from AZ, typically twice a year, I always make a point to play this course. The staff is very nice, the course is always kept in great condition and is actually getting better. The course has never been crowded and I love the solitude and laid-back feeling.
Great place to play
Every time I play Deercroft it gets better and better. The greens where very good. Just about no bad spots on them. Greens are a little slow but I think it is because they were a little long. Fairways were well manacured and well maintained. The ruff was a little scruffy but if you stayed out of the ruff you will have a great game. Course has enough challenges to make it enjoyable for a mid handy capper.
A good number or really challenging hol;es.
New owner of the course is making allot of improvements to the course. Fairways have been widened throughout the course. All the greens were in excellent shape.
Great value. The course is in good condition, a steal for the price.
There are a few areas under repair, but overall the course is in really good shape and the price is very cheap. I love playing out there. It's only about 15-20 min south of town, not too far away at all.
Interesting course.
Course maintained but not yet to pristine conditions. Fairways in good shape with very nice greens. Pleasure to play with interesting layouts of holes. When this course is in superb condition it really is going to be fun to play as long as you avoid the bunkers and love grass (tall and nasty).
A Hidden Gem
This course went through a rough patch for several years they are now under new ownership, I am originally from this area and remember when this course opened. It has a great lay out and the greens were like a pool table and the fairways were very nice Bermuda. I have played all over and this GC I would put up there with about any I have played the price is a STEAL staff outstanding there are some areas that need improvement but that is mostly just cosmetic between the tree lines this course is very nice!!!!
this course is coming together very nice
The new owner Ted! has been working overtime on this course, do a great job of getting it into great shape. nice tee boxes, fairways and greens.
Excellent course and fantastic price!!!
Outstanding value for the money and the course layout is exceptional. The greens are in pristine condition.
Super improvements
If you have played there for a year or so, you have to go. Many improvements have been made and more or on the way, The overall condition of the fairways and greens are vastly improved.
Outstanding course and very friendly staff.
I have played this course several times and it always is a pleasure. Good course conditions, the friendliest staff around and great value for the level of course you get. Greens are in great shape!
Moderately challenging course with improving conditions
This course is trying hard to attract more business. After years of neglect the present management is constantly upgrading the quality of the course. The back nine greens are in great shape and the front nine are not bad and steadily improving. Some of the holes require a very demanding tee shot (accuracy) while others are fairly wide open. The course is suitable for all levels of player.
A must play for the Pinehurst area.
New management in the last two years has taken this once after thought of a course to what now in a must play. Great layout in a scenic rolling area. The only reason it wasn't a five star rating was the driving range was a little rough. I wish I had a 4.5+ rating to give.
Places check this forgotten gem out as soon as possible.
Thanks
Great Golf Experience!
Interesting course design..excellent shape especially the greens..good pace of play..friendly staff...GREAT VALUE for the money!
Great quality at a great price
The course was in great condition! Not a long course but you have to think your way around it. The course is well maintained and I would've rated it 4 out of 5 stars but the cart paths are not in good condition which they admit and they told me they are going to re-do them. Also another reason for only 3 stars was I didn't see the cart girl until the back nine..although there is a water cooler every 3-5 holes so that was fine with me. All in all it was an awesome course for the price and remember this used to be a LPGA stop years ago and was also host to the PGA Q school in the mid 80's.
This is a great lay out
This was a great time at the golf course. The lay out is very interesting and fun to play. The staff was very nice and made us feel welcomed and appreciated. I will play this course any time I am in the Pinehurst area.
Friendly. Good rate. Nice layout.
My brother and I went to Deercroft for a fast 18 on a Saturday afternoon. Played in 3 hrs. Nice guy in pro shop. This course has a sporty layout. Greens are getting better, but you have to jam it; if you try to roll it you'll be short. Played it down, didn't pull many really poor lies. Had fun.
Straight forward course
The course was very straight forward, rather short from the back tees, I think it was a little over 6500. Hitting driver only three times. The greens were recently punched but really were not that bad. Driving range was a little rough, couldn't hit more than 3 hybrid, and it was like hitting out of the rough. The staff was great. Definitely going back!
