Great course
This place was in great shape. Fair play and the greens were rolling true. I will play again as soon as possible
Outstanding
First time playing here with a friend of mine and boy did we have a blast. The greens were the best ive ever seen. It felt like we were out there by ourselves because the pace was smooth and we never felt rushed at all. I cannot wait go come back especially to try the food inside.
Beautiful course
Course was in very good condition. Greens were challenging and inconsistent.. but fun. Being from New Jersey it was wonderful being in such a rural area.
6-some
I play here pretty often. And it’s a great challenging course. A little longer than most from the white tree at just over 6400 yards. The course was in great shape. The fairways, tees, rough and even bunkers were really nice. As good as I’ve seen them. The only thing preventing a 4 or 5 star review is that I got stuck behind a 6-some. Yes. That’s right. 6 people in a group. That wouldn’t let anyway play through. This is something that should never happen on a golf course.
Great Course, Great Clubhouse
Absolutely enjoyed playing here for the first time. Well kept and great design.
Good
If you are looking for a good round on a challenging course then Deer Brook is a good place to go try. It’s longer than most courses around. And while the rough isn’t bad and there is plenty of room to hit the ball on most holes, the elevation changes, length, and areas on and around the greens make it very challenging. The course is in good shape except the bunkers which had not been raked since it rained the day before. Greens were smooth and fast. The bent grass hasn’t gotten beat up too bad this summer yet. Fairways and tee boxes in good shape as well. All in all a solid challenging course.
Good
Good, I like playing here....would play more, but ways to go for me....
Sweet Track, Great for the money
For 45 on a weekday it’s hard to beat.
Solid fairways, only ding is people not filling their divots but the staff can’t control that.
Greens are good, some hallmarks but they rolled great with as much rain as we got the past few days. Not (((
Golf
It was really kept up and really nice for the price to play I would definitely come back and ply
Where have you been all my life…
Played every club in my bag on the way to falling in love with DB!
Great topography, fast greens, sand traps manicured, difficult and so satisfying- this isn’t for the faint of heart or the timid. Shotmaking is needed as you traverse the undulating fairways of a troubled youth only to be greeted with diabolical greens tempting you play above the hole on your way to a three putt bogey….
Enjoy, but don’t read this and think you’ll score the first time you play, it’s a learned course and by 18 you’ll want to play again and again.
Great value
Fantastic value! Enjoyed the layout and yardage from the white tees. Pace of play was fast until hole #14 where a group of teenage boys slowed everything down. They were literally sitting in the green for minutes “reading” their putts. I evenrtuslly drove around them and skipped a hole. I live near black mountain, NC and have played most courses within 75-minutes from there. Deer Brook has become one of my favorite courses and likely the most value. I only paid $36 to play 18 holes on a weekday afternoon.
