Deer Island Country Club

The course conditions were amazing. Tee boxes, fairways, greens, rough and traps all great. Restroom codes would not unlock the doors on course amenities though. Club house staff and cart girls were great. The driving range is mats only and not great but the big issue is that it faces directly into the rising sun. The largest issue with the course was the nagging ranger. She approached our foursome 3 times in 10 minutes telling us to play faster of she would move us. The first time she complained we had 2 open holes ahead, not our fault we started with 3 open holes ahead of us. She then came at us 5 minutes later with the same thing. And again 5 minutes later. In that time our foursome finished a par 4 and we were halfway down the following par 5. The course pace was set to be 3:45 for 18. I feel she was being ageist as she was clearly in her 90s and we were the youngest players on the course at our 40s with my father in his 60s. Every other player out was in their 70s and up. So we get around the turn after she bugged us again and behold on hole 10 we have 2 groups in front and there are 2 groups ahead of them. Great course, perfect conditions, but the rangers need to get real on timing. We were averaging 8 minutes a hole, this is not an issue for any pace of play.

The course is in great shape. A few holes are still a challenge. Greens just a little slow. Fairways great. Enjoyed the day.

I’m giving this course a 9.5/10 only for the fact that their signature hole par 3 #13 is under repair and have to hit to a makeshift green on the side. Aside from that the course was perfect. Couldn’t ask for more.

This course is challenging with lots of water. It is enjoyable just for it’s natural beauty.

Excellent condition

Bring extra balls as water in play it seems every hole. Played many times in the past. Use to see as many as 10+ gators. Now none.

Course is stunning!! Staff is wonderful...Shout out to the Starter, Mark (Semper Fi), always cheerful and great to talk with. Can't wait to play Hole 13, once the retaining wall around the green is finally repaired (it's been down for quite a while and the temp green is, well, VERY temporary). Would have loved to see the Beverage Cart roaming around during our round, but they don't send it out on Mondays.

Very nice layout and a well kept course. It’s a fair course for good players (10 handicap or better). Too difficult for me right now with my 20 handicap. It would be very helpful to be more familiar with the course as there are several hidden water hazards that turn a seemingly nice shot, bad. Fun to play with a reasonable rate for lesser players if you’re not too concerned about scoring. Very friendly staff and a fun day. Now I gotta go buy more balls. Also, saw a bald eagle, a red fox and kicked up two alligators.
