Deer Island Country Club

Fairways and tees were in perfect condition. Greens were good too. Did have staff guy on course in middle of fairway working on yardage marker. Did not move when we were on tee so we teed off-shots did not come close to him. Made a smart aleck comment about why didn't we wait till he was done. I used to work on a golf course-we made way for golfers, not the other way around.

Deer Island is awesome. It is a tough track so pick your tees wisely. I overheard the guy checking in someone new state "welcome to 18 holes of water"....It was a funny statement and it is also true. The water is there but it doesn't surprise you - it is right there for you to see. The layout is fun, fair and challenging. It was in great shape considering the heat and the greens rolled well. You are guaranteed to see some wildlife...the gators are always watching you so think twice before looking for your errant shot. This place is a gem and an amazing value. Yes, it may be a bit of a drive but we happily travel an hour to play it.

Loved everything about this course. I look forward to playing again.

This is the 3rd time I’ve played here and it is well worth the drive and a great value. Conditions are great, especially for the heat we’ve been having. Staff is small but super nice from check in to rangers out on the course. Great scenery and a lot of nature. Saw my 1st Bald Eagle on the 18th hole. What a great way to finish!

Course is very challenging. You better be in the fairways

Rough is very thick and long. They give you a bottle of water free with the round, and the drink girl is out on the course.

Deer Island was a joy to play. The fairways were in great shape and the greens were putting well. I would love to play them at tournament speeds. For a “lakes” course, there was a suprising amount of elevation changes. This results in a few blind shots but still completely playable.

We played with a resident, which was very helpful on 3 or 4 holes.

Since the course is only1 hour from us, we will be making more trips to play this gem.

It’s not a muni….gonna cost you a bit more but you won’t be disappointed….go….you’ll come again

The course was in good shape, very friendly staff, pace of play was great very. Will be playing again soon.

Great course and conditions, good value, and accommodating staff

Great course. Really liked the layout and great value. Cant blame course for pace...

Booked a tee time as a single and as the rule of thumb got paired up, this time with a father and son…, the fsther a virtual train wreck and the son a mid air collision of 2 jumbo jets…the ole man was constantly tellin’ the kid what to do, mostly wrong…. now back to the course… fantastic layout typical Joe Lee, but set in an idyllic piece of property… as they say…. GO PLAY !

Greens, fairways, and tee boxes best in the areas. Very challenging but fair

This course may be the best course I have played all year. It is very challenging and in great condition. Water comes into play on almost every hole and the rough is even kept up very well. I hope to return very soon.

In good very good condition. Starter's advice was spot on. Will play again.

This is a beautiful course with great views and wildlife. But, water, water, water! I’m a 15 hcp and this course is tough. It’s cool to have a drive down a fairway bordered by water, it’s also cool to have an iron shot all carry over water into a protected green. It’s kind of not cool to have that on almost every hole. Lol. This course is tough. Did I say that already. Definitely want to return to try to beat my previous score (it was ugly). Bring your a game.
