Deer Creek RV Golf & Country Club
About
Located just 20 minutes from the Disney theme Parks. Deer Creek RV Golf & Country Club has a convenient location at the intersection of I-4 and US Hwy 27. Walkers and beginners will enjoy the player-friendly traditional design, which features short distances to the green. The layout consists of par 3s and par 4s only. Deer Park's front nine is a bit gentler than the back nine where you'll find plenty of sand coming into play as well as many trees. The golf course also has a few tight spots where you'll have to employ accuracy and good course management. You'll get a chance to work on your short irons on this course. Golfers wanting a formidable test should look elsewhere but there are enough challenges at Deer Park to keep the round interesting.

Price is low ,needs wor
Greens are poor, need work ,staff are accommodating , friendly, price was great and course was not overly busy. I would play it again, and enjoy the course.
Got what I paid for
I was on vacation with my family and decided to play a local round of golf with my son, I found this coarse on Golfnow and decided to book it... I found out that I got what I paid for.... This coarse was in absolutely horrible condition... I wouldn't play this coarse again if they paid "Me"..... forget paying them. Very disappointed... that "Golf Now" would be affiliated with such a "Extremely poorly maintened coarse.
!!! :-( "OMG" !!!
BEGINNERS: IN CASE YOU DON'T WANT TO READ THIS ENTIRE REVIEW...THERE ARE GREAT 9/18 hole- WALKING, BEGINNER and FAMILY FRIENDLY courses within a few miles. GolfNow has several nearby tracks that are available for an excellent rate! Well maintained by professional management companies with a real golf course feel and great practice areas.
My problem started with the booking icon. NO mention of greens aerification and terrible overall condition and maintenance ISSUES.
When I see "come see our maintenance improvements", I expect roped off "G.U.R.", fresh sod and watering. Not fungus and mud unplayable greens.
My rating for staff friendliness is based almost entirely on the LACK of MENTION that the greens were being "brought back" from the previous management/ownership. I have NEVER been put on a golf course in this condition without warning and usually an offer of a refund, "if not satisfied within a few holes". These folks sent my threesome out without a hint of what lay ahead. I am sure there were some decent greens or greens where they had the flags at the only grass patch. I admit to a poor memory!
We played in front of a member league/group.
This was not a problem until the 17th hole. We had to wait between 5-10 mins for the maintenance crew to blow some plugs off the green. Before I reached the green and my short approach shot, I noticed a ball in front of me near the green, from the "Member" group behind us. I tried to wait for the obligatory "apology, didn't see you, etc." I DID NOT receive even an acknowledgement of my existence!
A bit later, after the round, I drove my cart to the arrow for "cart returns". I was tersely told, "move that cart", because the members group had started coming in and had their personal carts were getting parked all over the place.
The basic golf course layout was about as expected.
What was unexpected was the nice "lawn jockey" display by 14 green (private owner property).
After the round, I explained to, (begged), the manager and received 3 rain checks good for 1 yr.
Deer Creek is using 'the previous owners", as their standard, but should be using "the current market".
Between the "members" attitude and the basic conditioning, I can't ever see a reason to return.
I was informed that the members own this golf course now. Perhaps that was some of the reason for the glares and disrespect at this place.
Rough Greens
Greens in terrible shape...fairways had little grass...but for $25 bucks...you get 18 holes....not high expectations for that money
Great short course
I am not a fantastic golfer by any means so this course was great. The distance to each green was short so it was less frustrating than a regular course. The pro shop attendant was so friendly and told of the great future ahead for this course. I can't wait to play again!
Needs work
Greens are terrible and the fairways had little grass.
Challenging but lots of fun.
Course needs some work, but it was unique and I would definitely play again. People were nice and Tiki bar was great too. The course is short, but will test your skill and patience. The scenery is awesome.
Extrem Bad course
Greens horrorible, fairways with Bad Grass, Loud Noise from the Camping Ground,
Greens
Greens are below average, but should improve next month
under new mgt but dont bother
we tried this because the web said newly updated and under new mgt. the greens were a joke the worst i have ever played. the people living in the trailer park were rude and very low class. My daughter hit a ball into one persons backyard on 17 and he came out and yelled at her and flipped her the bird. that is totally unacceptable to do that to a young girl just learning golf. .
Not too bad
After reading some of the reviews, I thought it would be a lot worse than it really was. It is starting to get into fairly good shape, but the greens are still pretty bad. Patchy in spots, but the sports that aren't look good. I say two more months in it will be a good course. i booked it cheap and i thought it was worth it.
!st trip of the year
I played this course several times last year and enjoyed it. This year the first 4 or 5 greens were burned and cracked- not worth trying to put. They raised their prices to the same as much better course. Not worth the money and no fun with greens so bad..
disarray
The course is in general disarray. greens are compleatly gone no grass anywhere on the course. Not sure if there had been any maintenance done in the past month or so. Very cheap in price and expect to get what you pay for. great for beginners!!!!
this course is awful
glad to hear it has been taken over by the residents as it is in a terrible state,my wife and me played it it on the 3rd of October and we could not believe how much the greens and fairways had deteriated since we last played it on January 2013. good luck with the improvements and we will be back in October 2014
We enjoyed our day of golf.
I think that it was a great golf course for a novice and I'll play it again in the near future.
dire need of work
Thankfully our green fees were greatly reduced by GolfNow because we have played many different courses in Central Florida and none of them were in the condition that this one is. I understand it is November and this is seeding time etc. but this course requires more than this to bring it back to the condition it should be for the $ they charge.
Will get better
In the middle of a residents buy out because the owner didn't care. Certainly shows! Only paid $7, so didn't mind. Several temp greens, one hole closed, some awful greens, but 2 were nice. Also some awful tees and fairways. Staff very nice, obviously embarrassed about the state of the course. Residents buy out for December 2013. I reckon in 6 months of so this could be a nice course again.
In need of TLC
Potential for a great little course but is currently in poor condition. Several (approx12) of the greens are temporary greens which is a flag in the fairway. Definite grass issues with the course, tee boxes are in poor shape, fairways are not great, 5 greens were ok and hole 12 was closed.
I took my 5 yr old son with me and we still had a great time and only saw two other groups playing. We had a fun afternoon but would not recommend until the grounds improve.
Requires Attention
One of the members said that this used to be one of the top courses in the area. That would be easy to believe. The majority of the greens have some issue requiring work. Still, it served my purpose of wanting to work short irons. Hopefully, it will get repaired...could be really nice. Staff was great.
