Country Club feeling golf course

We loved the island feel and location . The course was in great condition . The Only thing that kept this course from higher rating is slower greens speed. It would elevate the whole championship level experience if greens where at a 10 not a 71/2. Staff which is a family run business was very helpful. I look forward to playing anytime I’m in the area . I came from south Orlando. It took over an hour to reach deer island

Always enjoyable

Got on the course early for a $40 special and finished in 3 hours.

The course was in great shape and what a great value at $40 and a 55 minute drive.

Overall good

Fairways were nice Z a couple greens were patchy but not too bad . Greens were good but too slow today . Possibly because it had rained a lot the previous day . Would come back .
