Deer Island Country Club

We have played Deer Island many times over the years and had considered this one of our favorites…but unfortunately many greens are in bad shape right now and the awesome par three on the back nine continues to be under construction and you have to play a very short temporary alternate hole.

I’m sure this course will return to the beautiful course that it has been in the past but right now I cannot recommend it.

Staff, especially the GM is not friendly. Greens are in poor shape. Lots of weeds around greens and in rough. Course conditions have deteriorated in last 6-9 months. Would not recommend especially for price. Recommend Country Club of Mount Dora if you want to play a course nearby.

Always a challenging round out at Deer Island. Bring a few extra balls as this one wants to eat them up in the water. Good day - Only downfall was we had a very slow group in front of us from 12-18 and it really slowed it down and ruined the pace of play. The greens are also sanded so it makes putting very difficult to read.

Truly enjoyed it, but not the 44 dollar service charge for 6 players with Golf Now. Just removed app. Will call myself next time

Have been in Florida for a month and have played ten rounds, This is the best value I have played. A must play.

Great layout with lots of water. Strategy is a key. One par 3is under construction as Milton took the retaining wall out. At least they are dealing with it. Greens were a touch slow but fairways full. For the dollar it is the best course in the area

Should have been a decent course… but

Signature Par 3 hole under construction since hurricane and a useless temporary green in play. Sand traps in poor shape. Slow play .. had to wait every hole. A lot of the greens in rough shape. Would be a nice course if these items were not an issue.

Very surprised at the condition, fifth course in March played and the best shape.

Greens in terrible shape. Covered in weeds. Not mowed or rolled. Might as well put on the fairway. The greens are the most part of the course.

This wonderful gem will challenge every part of your game. Water and bunkers guard all but two holes with extreme prejudice. If that not enough the green will test what ever is left of your game. I really loved the challenge Deer Island presented, and the wildlife was amazing and plentiful.

We discovered Deer Island a few years ago.

Challenging layout but fair.

Some local knowledge required to enjoy it to it's fullest so; advise playing it a couple of times to learn where the problems are.

Was surprised by the course condition.

Has always been pristine condition but this time the greens were in bad shape and fairways spotty.

Hope this condition is temporary
