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.

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.

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.

Jewel Of A Course

We played Deercroft this past July. The group was on a 4 day excursion playing courses in the Southern Pines area. Of the 4 courses we played (Pine Needles, Southern Pines, Talamore, and Deercroft) Deercroft was perhaps the least sleek, but the course, and course condition was as good as any of the others (and better than Southern Pines). The staff was very accommodating and eager to assist w/anything we asked for, or needed. Great experience. Jewel of a course for the money.

Beautiful and Challenging

I’ve golfed at this course several times over the last few years. Over this time, they have undergone management change and have done tons of work to better the course. The cart paths are rough due to the hurricane last year, but they realize the opportunity and have a plan to get them in better shape. I would highly recommend this course.

Fantastic greens!

The best greens I've played on in a long time around here. Great job to the crew there. Overall the course was in pretty good shape. Only negative I can think of is we played from the back tees and some where lacking grass and beat up. Overall it was a great day and I'll be back!

Fine Quality

The fairways and greens are in great condition! A challenging course that will test your skill. A few miles from Pinehurst, but well worth the drive.

Ted has done a super job with getting the course in such good shape since the hurricanes last year.
