Deer Island Country Club

A remote location, but we'll worth the drive at the current pricing level. The course was in good condition and it is a nice challenge. The layout is simple yet fun.

This is a challenging course and it's in great condition. Go give it a try.

Great layout and course was in excellent condition. Bring your best game , you’ll need it . Early morning check in was a breeze, staff was welcoming and knowledgeable. Great deal and great golf outing.

Course is great, but hoping the new owner straightens up a few things. We were welcome by a very energetic lady and we were excited to get to our round. We got 1 bucket of balls for the special for 2 people and 2 bottles of water. We opted not to go to the range in the morning as she explained the range was a 5 minute drive. We met the starter and we were paired up even though we had requested not to so we could play at a faster pace. Through 9 holes usually a foursome should be able to play 2 hours 15 mins or 2 hours 20 mins, we were “split up” cause we played at 2 hours 7 mins asa foursome. Mind you the people calling was a 6 some who not all were playing, and they were waiting for maybe 30 seconds as we were hitting on the green when the marshal came down and continuously saying how we were behind pace.

Not only this but the marshal was even more upset that we stopped to grab a drink at the clubhouse when we only saw the cart girl 1 on hole 7 that’s it. They continued talking about “members will be upset” unless you are giving me a discount I will play regular place or I will let them play through if they have an issue.

Course conditions after the hurricanes weren’t checked, many fairways with tire tracks everywhere like 3-5 inches deep because of how wet it is. Range area is just a danger zone you have houses everywhere so don’t expect to really get a good swing and don’t miss or there goes a car window 🤣

Layout is great, water in every single hole, other than non members complaining like members the place was good to play at.

Great course. Excellent conditions. High water conditions so recommend moving up a tee box. Can’t wait to return.

Great time playing this course. Lots of mosquitos was the only negative thing.

Deer Island is one of my favorite central Florida layouts. While there is water in play on literally every hole, it is not so intrusive as to be unfair. On the other hand, every par three but one requires a forced carry over a water hazard! The key to an enjoyable but challenging round is selecting the correct set of tees with respect to your ability so don’t overestimate how good you are unless you have an unlimited supply of balls! Aside from the ever present threat of water, the course is in excellent shape with healthy fairways, tees, and greens that roll true and are not unduly fast. The only drawback to DI is that it is rather remote and about a 30-40 minute drive from Orlando. Even so, it is well worth the drive and I would highly recommend you make the trip to play this hidden gem.

There is a reason this is a top course in Florida. It may be a little out of the way but it is 100% worth it. It is a very challenging course so you need to be able to hit fairways to have a chance at a lower score.

Wonderful layout and well kept. Greens somewhat slow however due to lots of rain and greens could r be rolled.

First time here and staff and residents friendly, course was in pretty good shape no real issues a couple of greens had some rough patches but overall really good and the layout is challenging. Great job, I didn’t shoot my best so we will be back!
