Deer Island Country Club

The course layout is fun. Played several times the last few years. Fairways in great shape. Several greens and tee boxes are not in great shape. Rough appears to be not well maintained. Lots of viable weeds throughout course. Course does not appear to be maintained as well as it had been the last few years.

First time playing Deer Island. It was nice with all the water and we even saw a pretty big gator sunning on the bank. It was cold and windy for the first hour or so, but appreciated it more when it warmed up into the 60s. You unload your own bags and get your own cart and drop off your stuff after. There was a cart girl that did a good job getting around. Pace was pretty good. Course was in ok condition and greens could have been better, but we enjoyed our round after the weather improved. Staff was nice.

Watch out for the huge gators! I would definitely go back and play again!

The course is in much worse shape than prior years. Poor greens, fairways, and tee boxes. Not worth the current greens fees. Hoping the new owners can bring the conditions up to standard

This course is a hidden gem. Very challenging. A must play for our golf trip

I was very disappointed. I have loved this course and played it many times. it was always in such great shape, I even met the owner one day he was an awesome dude. It was one of the best looking courses is central Fl. It's just very far and hard to get to but it was worth it. Not this time. Booked an early tee time and convinced my buddy to come with me after bragging about this course. I probably haven't been in about a year. It's taken a sad downturn. It just was not aesthetically pleasing at all. It was pretty bad especially after being so nice just a year ago. So I will say its not worth the drive at all and will not be going back. I wish them luck.

Very nice layout and challenging course. We played in the wind and it cost us some lost balls. The one green is under repair on a par 3 and it will be even better course when that is back up. Clubhouse does not have a lot of amenities but is ok. Fun place to play if you have the chance - we are going back this weekend to take another run at it!

Read all the other reviews! That’s who you should listen to! This is always our #1 course when we come down to this area! We drive 42 minutes it’s worth every minute! Love this Course! Don’t let one ridiculous review lead you astray!

Better hit your shot where you aim it, water water everywhere. Greens are Bermuda thus grainy, will have to upgrade to modern grass at some point.

Greens are perfect, best kept greens in the state.

I would call this a dog track, but that would be an insult to dog tracks everywhere. Worst course I’ve ever played in Florida. Only thing that made it worthwhile was the hot bartender.

Course should be shut down and start all over. I had a credit on my GolfNow so I didn’t have to pay $ today, but I felt I still overpaid. Avoid this course.

Played Deer Island for the first time, and it was an incredible experience! The course was in grat condition, with well-manicured fairways and fast, true greens. The layout was both challenging and fun, with water coming into play on every hole, adding both beauty and strategy to the round. The scenic views were breathtaking, and the staff was welcoming and professional. Definitely, a course I’ll be returning to—highly recommend for any golf enthusiast!

It was very windy that day but we were prepared, had our hats and windbreakers with us and had a great day on the golf course.

The golf course was in great condition. It's not easy but not unfair either.

The staff behind the counter, who also handle the green fee, could be a bit friendlier and more attentive.

All in all, a great golf day, we will definitely be back.

The day we played it was unseasonably cool and we had all dressed in shorts, believing that our rain gear - jacket, pants and gloves- were in our golf bags. Unfortunately because we had each received new golf bags for Christmas, to our dismay none of our rain/cold weather gear was packed. It was 57 degrees and windy. The amazing Marshall noticed my discomfort on the second hole and offered to go to her car and get her rain pants for me. She returned with her rain pants and an extra sweater, thus saving the day! My brother was here for a few days so we brought him to Deer Island for two reasons: it is these snowbirds favourite Florida course and he wanted to see alligators on a course for the first time. The cold weather meant not an alligator was seen, but thanks again to the Marshall for her thoughtfulness. My husband I will be definitely be back on a warmer day!
