First time
This was first time playing course. Although layout was odd at times the course itself was in great shape. The staff was extremely friendly. I have been looking to place the course for sometime and will definitely add it to my favorites list. Wish I would have played it sooner
Good Course
Deer Valley is a good course, while not long, it is challenging. The course caters to senior golfers but all golfers can enjoy a good and reasonable challenge.
Not Impressed!!
We booked the 1st time because my playing partner and I (we play as a 2 some) like to finish early and get to other things. The course is OK and not the 1st time I played there. The owner of the course had a 4 some tee off in front of us. We were told we had to follow them, they would set the pace of play and we were not allowed to play through??? This was as they said so the grounds crew could cut greens without being pushed or rushed?? We had to follow them for the entire round, a real drag. Talk about promoting slow play.. Our fast round for a 2some turned into a 4 hr. Round. Don’t think I will be going back!!
Deer Valley
Always a fun course to play. Consistent conditions. Good shape. Greens a bit slow but great, full turf. Those trees that were planted years ago are coming into play on errant shots!
Slow pace of play
Second out(2 of us). 4 guys in front of us. No sweat until they informed us that they were the “PCs” group and we would not be allowed to play through at any time during the round. Something about keeping golfers from pushing the mowing. Dude. If you don’t want golfers interrupting mowing, then adjust your tee times.
This was a 4.5 hour round behind a group of very slow golfers. plus- I never saw anyone mowing a fairway or green. Starter was also a grumpy and weird . He had us move our cart 20ft prior to starting. No apparent reason.
Will not go back to his course.
Horrible pace of play. Starter was terrible.
Second out. Starter made us move our cart 20 yds as we waited for the first group.... Guess this was a display of his authority? Dude. . The 4 golfers in front of us were instructed to not let us play through- something about mowing grass. It was a 4.5 hour round at 7:00am. We never saw ANYONE mowing fairways or greens. Horrible. If your staff is mowing, then adjust your start times instead of encouraging your customers to play at a snail pace. Never going back to this course. Frustrating round of golf.
Great condition, but with grass bunkers
The course condition was great, and the layout was very open, great for beginners. The only things that I was not a fan of were the grass bunkers and the tee positions were horrendously out of place. The distances listed were nowhere near accurate.
Good Overall Value/Slow Greens
A group of 12 of us played here recently. The course was in overall good condition, the staff was courteous and professional. The rough is thick and a bit high, if you don't hit your ball in the fairway, it can be challenging to find. Pace of play was acceptable. The greens were the only issue we encountered, they were in good condition, but were incredibly slow, likely 6-7 on the stimp meter. All of us had trouble even getting short putts to the hole the entire round. Hopefully the staff can find a way to get some speed out of the greens, we would like to return but will only do so if the green speeds improve.
Great wildlife
First time for me and my wife! Loved it! Course isnt long but its perfect if your not a long hitter! The course maybe short but has some challenging holes! Will go back again!
Great Value
Deer Valley is always in good shape and it's a challenge for most golfers. You can't beat the price even for weekend play.
Lazy staff
There was a line of thunder storms that only last 45 min. The storm warning were only for an hour. They shut the coarse down at 230 pm at the first sight of lightning. We drove an hour to get there... we waited until the sun was back and no rain. .... still said no golf. The way they were talking , I thought I was talking to a meteorologist. Mind you I can see the storm on the radar on my smart phone. ...... super lazy staff. !!!!!!!!
