Deer Run 1st Time

Straight forward layout and the last 3 holes have a lot of character. Wide fairways and they are in mostly good shape. The greens are the strength of the course. Undulating and multi levels. They were in good shape. Not perfect but very good.

It has been several years since we played this course but it is still the same. The staff is welcoming, the fairways and greens are in excellent condition. If you have never played this course, you will not regret it and you will want to return.

Not necessarily the premier any longer.

Always looked at this facility as the premier golf course in the area. Played both courses and the turtle course greens were bumpy and shaggy. Deer was only slightly better. Would however, still play this course again.
