Deer Island Country Club

We loved this course. It is in great condition with carpet fairways, greens that run true and good pace of play. The holes have stunning views and tons of water. The gators are a bonus.

We had a 7:20 tee time and looked forward to a fast round. The front nine went great but when we made the turn they let a foursome tee off on the back nine in front of us. This slowed down the pace to the point that we played through after 4 holes on the back nine.

We have come to the area annually and sometimes twice per year over the past 5 years or so. We've always felt this course provided really good value, even though it is an hour's drive from where we stay in Orlando. This year was different. Although most of the course is ok (average green conditions, good fairways (not great)), there is one green that is virtually unplayable and another hole where a temporary green is in play due to a new wall construction project.

We had scheduled to play the course twice over the past few days and did so. However, with present conditions, we probably wouldn't reschedule now. Hopefully, things will improve.

This was a very interesting course to play albeit a little bit above my skill level. Water on most holes and hazards requires a solid ability to place your shots. If you don’t, you’ll pay for it with either a stoke lost or a ball and stroke lost!

I’d recommend it for golfers that are at or near single digit handicap

The course was excellent, the staff was excellent; however the Gators mot so much! There was a 15foot gator just off the fairway on one whole.

Course fairways and most greens were in great shape. There are a few greens that are still recovering. Sand traps were well maintained. A couple of the tee boxes were covered in divots making it a challenge to get a balanced stance. More weeds were noticeable in the rough than a few months ago. Hole #13 is still under repair.

Very nice course an excellent value. Highly recommended.

Great course. Lots of water. Good condition for the most part. One temporary green on 13… not ideal but they are almost done with the improvements.

We played there yesterday and have played it a couple of times each time we visit the area, annually. Course conditions have definitely deteriorated in places.

This is a beautiful course. Water on every hole though not too intrusive. Well laid out with a good variety of holes. All staff very friendly and price is super. I definitely recommend it to anyone considering playing there.

Second time playing here one year apart. Friendly staff and great amenities. Well watered green grass fairways. Greens is average shape. Tough pin placements. Will make this an annual tradition!
