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.

Very Disappointed
Course was in terrible condition other than the greens which were just average.
It looked like that at one time it was a decent course but they ran into financial trouble and have not reinvested back into the course.
Would not play again.
Soft greens
Ripping 7 irons back like they were sand wedges. Love it!
Great layout and friendly staff.
Good value
Considering some of the prices in the area, this course is a good deal. The bent grass greens were soft and I was ripping 7 irons back like they were sand wedges, so that was something to think about. The back tees could use some work, but overall this is a fun course that can make you think on your tee shots and approaches.
Good and getting better!
Will definitely be back to play this one. The staff went above and beyond like none before. They are to be commended. If they keep improving the conditions it could be a real treat.
It is tough. Long, uphill holes are quite a challenge, especially if the wind is against you.
Great place to play
Great course for this time of year! Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Ted welcomed me with open arms to the course and for that alone I will be back.
Meh...
We played two days after heavy rain. The course doesn’t appear to drain well, and it was extremely wet through many fairway locations. Greens rolled slow. Nothing very memorable with layout. The two folks working in the bar and the pro shot were very nice, but they were seemingly the only people working and were having to do it all. Was excited reading some other reviews but mostly disappointed
Best course for the money in the area
I played as the course was recovering from a qualifying event where the grass was stressed, so it was pretty wet, but that didn’t detract from how great the course was. Fantastic staff that was extremely friendly and appreciative of us being there. Definitely going back.
9 Holes
It had rained before we played but over all, the course played just fine. The staff was very nice. They had the prettiest cart girl I have ever seen. The only drawback was the cart paths. My back was hurting just a little and the guy driving almost hit every low spot there was. Did I tell you about the cart girl?
Good layout, needs some TLC
Has the potential to be a gem in the Pinehurst area with some interesting holes. Mostly designed for older players with wide fairways and relatively simple green complexes. Unfortunately most of the greens were baked out with a number of dead spots, and the ones that weren’t were kept very long and rolled very slow.
Outstanding value
Squeezed in a round on the way to Ocean Isle Beach. I was so glad to have picked Deercroft as the course was in good condition and played with a couple of great guys. If you are looking for all-around 5-star amenities - this is likely not the place for you. However, if it is all about the golf, friendly service, and scenery - Deercroft ranks highly with the best of the courses in the greater Pinehurst area. Outside of the resort courses, and Pine Needles and Mid Pines - and with the price point - Deercroft should be in that next tier of course consideration when you next travel to the area.
Great course for the money
My father in law and I played here. The course conditions were great and the staff were friendly. I look forward to go back again soon.
Amazing
Never been here felt like it’s a hidden gem. First nine have to play your distances right. Second nine straight forward need to score. Coolest thing I’ve seen they have USB ports on both sides of the cart and also Bluetooth speaker can’t ask for anything better
Great lay-out.
Layout challenging for all skill levels. Bent grass greens offer different putting surfaces than most area courses. Fairways generally in play it down condition. Good value for $$.
Unbelievable condition
Deercroft is in great shape, from their soft greens to their tees and fairways. Their greens roll very true. The staff at Deercroft is by far the best. They truly do everything they can to make sure you enjoy your round. Their kitchen also is very good, I highly recommend their cheeseburger and fries. This is definitely a must play course!
Hidden Gem in Sandhills
Deercroft is a Hidden Gem in the Sandhills area. While it’s a few miles out of the way from Pinehurst it’s well worth the trip. Always in great shape, the staff are just wonderful and welcoming with the value being the best in the area. We always look forward to our return to Deercroft and I highly recommend it to others, you won’t be disappointed.
