Deer Island Country Club

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

Excellent experience with perfect weather and great conditions. Will definitely play again. Lots of water so bring extra golf balls..

Excellent course

On the return list every year

Well worth the drive

Have played a few times and the layout and challenges are top notch. However some of the greens were very rough with weeds while others barely had grass on them. Hopefully they will heal.

The course with the best conditions we played so far in March. Teeboxes had grass, fairway also.

Greens hard and very fast, but good playable.

This is my favorite course in the Central Florida area. The course is beautiful and in great condition. The price of this course is second to none. Greens are firm and fast. You are sure to see wild life during your round.

Deer Island is one of my favorite courses to play but apparently one of the hurricanes caused quite a bit of damage earlier this year. The greed are being infested with poa annua grass so they are bumpy in spots. One of the greens has collapsed into the pond that guards it as a result of the flooding from the hurricanes so there is a temporary green in use on that hole. Regardless of the problems I would still recommend first time visitors to play the course because the layout is great.

One of my favorites. In great condition. Lots of water in play. Plays tough in the wind.

On my way from west coast of Florida to Orlando and I booked deer island on my way based on the reviews. It didn’t live up to it. Fairways were ok and bunkers pretty good but I was in shock on how bad the greens were. On a scale of 1-10 not one was over a 6. Some were so bad with disease and weeds you couldn’t even putt. Not that I’m a great putter but good god!! This course could be amazing if the owner put money into it. If he dosnt and soon,he’s gonna be out of business because nobody wants to play in these conditions. The great part of my day was the checkin people, the starter and the guys i played with, which were so friendly,helpfull with navigating the course. I had a fun day with them. But I would not recommend this course now. When everything is fixed including their signature hole that the wall has completely collapsed and is under major construction fixed.. and THE GREENS !!! then I would highly recommend this course. Not until then!!
