Deer island is excellent

Tees were nice

Fairways dense and full

Bunkers large, flat and raked

Greens were outstanding. Not much grain, smooth with good speed!

Great time

Course in fabulous condition. 17 holes were perfect. 1 par 3 had a temporary green because the support for the semi island green collapsed. Truthfully we just Skipped that hole. Mosquitos were bad but we had prepared for that. PLAY THIS COURSE.

no complaints in any category!

This course is worth the drive - course is in excellent shape. One par three has a temporary green due to storm damage - other than that - this course is pristine.

Great time!

We normally play at home course in Ocoee, Forest Lake. We drove 35 minutes to play Deer Island. It was worth the Drive. Very tough golf course With water on almost every hole. Course condition was great, the staff was nice and the overall experience was a 4 1/2. We would all recommend it.
