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.

Deercroft appears to be on the way back.

The golf course is in good condition given the cool spring we have had. The greens are in very good condition. There looks to a lot of clean up and improvement projects in progress. This course offers an excellent value for the area.

Pleasant surprise Great staff

We hadn't played Deercroft in a long time, this was a pleasant surprise. The course was in great shape. Greens rolled true and fairways good. It's also a beautiful course. The ladies working there made us feel welcomed and had great attitudes. Only about a 45 minute drive for us from Fayetteville. We will for sure return.

Best value in pinehurst area

Course is very good. Quite a few interesting holes. Ted the PGA pro owner was great. He gave us a good run down of how to play the course. Condition was very good for this time of the year especially compared to some of the neighbouring courses. We had a fun day

Great Value, Perfect Greens and an even Better Staff

This is the third year that we have taken our golf trip down to Southern Pines and the third year we have played Deercroft. This is the only course that everyone on the trip agrees to go back to. The lay out is awesome, it is never too crowded and the course is always kept in top shape. Ted and the staff have done a great job improving the course every single year. You will truly play every club in your bag. As awesome as the course is, what really keeps us coming back is Ted, Phil, Jennifer and the rest of the staff. They have gone above and beyond what is expected with every oppurtunity. We couldn't ask for a better experience that what is consistently presented at Deercroft.

After the Rains

Played the day after heavy rain, temperatures in the low 50's, fairways were dormant, greens were in good shape. Staff was great, gave us the rundown on the course. Hard to give justice after a day of heavy rain.

Very good greens.

Course was in good shape for the time of year. Greens were very good, consistent.
Only complaint was time it took to play. Over 5 hours, course was packed but first pretty day of the week so it was expected.

Needs attention.

The positive remark is the fast greens, but tees and cart paths, and bunkers need attention.

Course reborn!

Played course for the first time in many years and had a great day at Deercroft. Course has new owner Ted Robinson who has made it his passion to restore the course to premier status. And he's doing a great job. Greens are excellent bent grass and tees and fairways are very good. Lots of tree removal has enhanced views and made this rolling Sandhills course very enjoyable. Owner Ted and staff could not have been more welcoming and Ted will want to get to know every golfer and make sure you have a great day. Will definitely be back and Golfnow.com deals can't be beat.

Great Layout and awesome staff.

The only thing and I mean the only thing is the cart paths are the worst I've seen. If you have any back issues, don't ride on the cart paths! You jump up and down in your cart all day and if you have new forged clubs and don't use headcovers, they'll have scratches and nicks all over the chroming. But the big thing is the cart paths. Have any disc problems, you will after you play this course. Other than that...I had a real nice time on a challenging course. Greens were fantastic. Will play again.

Good layout and challenging greens!

Course is in very good shape; greens are excellent. Greens had been cut in the morning and had speed to go with challenging been placements (on edges of slope breaks). Many good changes to course. Only complaint is sand traps around greens. They need much work; sand is very thin and hard-packed. But still a great value for course.

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.
