Plain Golf course
Greens patchy, bare spots and sandy spots. Fairways average for low priced Florida course, with lots of roll. Sand bunkers groomed. Plain and flat municipal type course.
Ok layout
This course is run down very bad shape some greens was okay but some had big holes with sand have to move the ball away from of it

Great value
Played Friday morning during cold weather. There were quite a few groups on the course - before, during and after - our round. Still the pace of play was good and the course conditions were good.

Thanks for the 4-star review and joining us for a round last Friday! We're glad you enjoyed the experience despite the busy day and we hope to have you back at The Country Club at Deer Run again soon. #DeerRunCC
Much improved great layout
The crew at Deer Run have done a great job bringing the greens and fairways back to playable conditions. There is much more to do but with the exceptional work and staff, this will be a great course again.

Thanks for the great feedback and 4-star review! On behalf of us at The Country Club at Deer Run, we truly appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue to make course improvements. Thank you for your support and come back soon! #DeerRunCC
Hopefully an abnormal day
3 hour and 5 minute front nine, quit and went home, need I say anything more?

Randy, we appreciate you sharing your feedback with us, however, we truly apologize for any inconvenience with the pace of play on the day of your round.

ENJOYABLE DAY
I play here once or twice each winter.
Challenging course with a great layout.
Course conditions are good but the fairways need irrigation.

Thanks for the 4-star review and dedication to playing our course! We hope to have you back at The Country Club at Deer Run again soon. #DeerRunCC
I like this course
I play here several times a year and generally like it. Currently several of the greens are under repair but not a big problem. Wide fairways and nice doglegs...big greens and plenty of water though not much to hit over. This is a good course for the price and centrally located.

Thanks for the 3-stars and great feedback! We truly appreciate your patience & understanding regarding some of our course improvements, but we're glad to hear we can continue to provide our customers with a valuable golf experience. Thanks for choosing The Country Club at Deer Run and come back soon! #DeerRunCC

Course bad, customer service worse
I am a Golf Now VIP that has played more than 100 rounds through golf now and this is the first review I’ve ever made (good or bad). Was trying to find a course that fit time and date to take out three work assistants for golf and post round dinner, etc as an appreciation. This course worked and I got a great hot deal rate. The course was in really bad condition but no big deal because the rate was good and my co-workers don’t play so really didn’t care. Tee to green was really bad. The entire course, but again....not that big a deal. We get through the round and we are tied. So we decide to play an extra hole to break the tie. Instead of just playing the hole I decide to find someone to ask if it’s ok. No one anywhere near by the way that we could effect negatively.....I ask a guy if he worked there and he said yes. I asked if we could play one more hole. If he had said yes if you pay $10 we might have done it. Or if he said no, I’m sorry....that would have been ok. Instead, he said ‘you guys played a hot deal rate of $10.....18 holes is good enough.’ It was the most rude I have ever been treated on a golf course ever. This was done in front of numerous people. It was degrading. And for it to happen at an awful course made it even more so. I am pretty sure I paid more than $10 per person but I will say that any amount over $10 was too much. And besides, if you don’t want your tee times on golf now at a certain rate then don’t list them. The condition of the course was terrible. Add in the lack of customer friendly issue afterward.....well I will never go there again and I will be surprised if it is open 12 months from now. I have it two stars because our group had a good time with the camaraderie until post round. And I try to be understanding of all situations.
Greens in horrible shape.
Friendly staff, I like the layout. Greens are in very bad shape.
Rained out
We were suppose to play Dec 21 at 1o'clock. It had rained the day before. I got a call at 11 o'clock to say only the front 9 holes was open. I was told that they would let us play the front 9 twice. I asked about a rain check and was told to phone Golf Now. I asked what the course could help with rebooking and again they didn't handle anything deal with Golf Now. I asked when the back 9 was closed and was told at 6.30 that morning and I asked why I was not notified sooner and was told he just forgot. I find this is very unprofessional and the unfriendly . The weather was neither of our faults but the gentleman I spoke to was rude and really didn't care about me as a customer. We have been golfing at this course for the last 8 years and this experience has really turned us off.
A perfect afternoon
Weather was perfect - we played only 9 holes - we are both in our 90s and get pretty tired when we play 18 - pace was great - we only had to wait a short time once to tee off.
Bad day of Golf not the Fault of Deer Run
1st, let me say that I went to The Run as a single on a Hot Deal Spec (thus a bargain price), and got paired up with an excellent Canadian gentleman, but the other couple were virtually beginners (especially the woman didn't have a clue). The course was very crowded on Black Friday, so we kept up to group ahead, but still seemed like we held up everything. It was a slow slow round, and again no fault to staff. I felt bad for the groups behind us to see her swing & miss or 6-strokes outta a bunker. At any rate, course is OK; a few greens have been repaired, but what they need most is good experienced golfers to repair ball marks & rake the sand bunkers.
This course is older but nice
Crews were out cutting fixing and doing the repairs where needed. We loved the game but found the layout a little confusing, probably because it started as a 9 hole course then added the back nine sometime later Greens were fast, back nine was wet, needs a better picture of the fairways as some hard to figure green locations from tee boxes. All in all a great day with a nice bar.

This course has a nice layout and variety of holes.
Nice layout
Greens need work
Tee boxes - nice attention at growing grass
Price of hot deal made the longer drive worth it.
Not bad. Good design. Not in great shape
I like the layout of the course. Bar staff is courteous and quick. Pro shop guys are nice. Prices are OK. Tee boxes are never in good shape. Greens are mostly good but some are really busted up.
This place has character
I really enjoyed playing golf here and I will continue to do so! The greens are a little beat up but they have gotten better even since the last time I played there. Unfortunately the range and chipping area isn't the best and while practing your putts listen for 4's!
