The Battleground at Deer Park

Greens are covered in that patchy, bumpy grass and it’s all of a sudden. Played a few times with no issues but most holes are unputtable.

I used to be a member there about 3 years ago but cancelled because of the conditions of the course. Started going downhill. I played yesterday to give it a chance, and I shouldn’t have gone out there. When you putt, it’s like playing PLINKO. Course is just in bad shape and city needs to do something about it. Play somewhere else if you can!

Still not really worth it. A tournament was going on so pace of play was horrible. 3 sets of foursomes backed up at hole 5 . The course has gotten a little better so I gave it 2 stars.

I’ve always loved this course but over these pass few years in has gone down hill. Most of the tee boxes are dirt and the greens are horrible. We played Sunday and there was frost on the greens so we had a delayed start which isn’t a big deal but when there is 15 other groups waiting to play they should do a split start. Start some on the first tee box and then start some on the tenth tee box. That way we aren’t waiting 45 minutes to tee off. We are going to wait a few months before we play here again.

Im starting with the greens they need a lot of work on every hole they have I heard someone else call it crab grass but it’s on every hole. There are also on most holes and even the practice green in the front random dry spots like 2 foot by 2 foot so dry it’s dirt or something killed it. So greens need major work and aeration. I believe they may rely on rain also could use a water truck. The fairway are a little better but again they need aeration. Tee boxes need work. In the end course need a new course superintendent to keep it nice 24/7 idk maybe charge 5$ more a round for everyone and put that 5 extra straight to lawn care

To me, this place needs some major TLC. Greens have sprouts all over. A 7’ putt shouldn’t zigzag to the hole on nearly every hole. The only hole admirable was 16. The fringes were dried up and covered w weeds. Fairways were very thin and damaged. Tee boxes barely had grass on them. It’s like there’s no irrigation out grounds crew working here.

This course needs a total redo of aeration and grass. there was no where on the course where it wasn't like hitting off of cement (ok, to be fair, the bunker sand was actually very good).

I know greens were redone on the front years ago, but one could not tell, please, either spend money to make the greens better, or give up on them and make the fairways playable.

Or maybe the tee boxes, our group played off of yellow and white, and most of the time, I needed a hammer to put my tee in the ground. seriously, awful. and most of the white tee boxes were just 2 stakes stuck in the middle of fairway. and then, what is up with the red tees, why are they all 150 yards from every hole except par 3s?

Greens were better on the back nine, however I don't think the holes have ever been changed, its like their hole cutter got lost at the beginning of the pandemic. The edges were worn out on some holes to like 6 inches.

Bottom line is not worth the $35 we paid. Sad because the layout could make for a very fun course.

Too many greens with crab grass and sand. Too many tee boxes that were hard as a rock and completely sand.

Temperature in the 40's with wind from the north blowing in excess of 25 mph. Our foursome quit after nine holes.

The tee boxes were mostly dirt-- sometimes loose and sometimes so hard it was difficult to use a tee. The fairways are hard. The greens need to be looked after.

The course has a great layout, unfortunately the condition of the course was less than stellar. I know that the time of year has something to do with it but there were many thin and hard pan places in the fairways. Some of the greens were in poor conditions as well. Some of the tee boxes were so thin and hard, you couldn’t even get a tee in the ground. Overall, I love the layout but the condition could be improved.

Course was over played. Tee boxes bare. Greens visible over foot traffic to/from cart path. Greens were in fair shape. Fairways were less than fair.

I love the $20 round at 4:00. I get off work at 3:30 and play there at that time very often. Greens are finally coming back. The staff is always awesome and the food and bar is great. Love the pay for your first beer what ever your score was. Also they provide free ice. Battleground is just a really cool place to play. The condition is getting better also. Thanks to the staff for making the course better.

The course was fair overall. It was golf cart path only due to water on the course. Pace of play was good. The tee boxes were terrible. Fairways were okay. Greens were freshly arerated. Roll was slow on front nine and faster on back nine. Paying online was cheaper than at the course. I wouldn’t play battleground for the cost if I had to pay at the course. Too expensive for the way the course looked. GolfNow kept my price low. I will play this again. Thank you GolfNow!
