Great course, about to lose greens
Everything about this course was great as always, except the greens are burned up, divots everywhere, and every green just felt soggy and soft
Recently disappointed
I have been coming to Deerbrook periodically for the past decade. I will not be back any time soon. The greens were in such bad shape, the course should be ashamed to be open. In the past this has been one of the nicest courses in the area, and it was a big disappointment to pay $60 for the privilege to putt on mud.
Deer Brook on Sunday
I’ll start with the Pro shop. Not friendly at all. They were more concerned watching the PGA event on TV than servicing their customers. As far as the course…Tee boxes and fairways are in great shape. The greens are well below average…ball marks not fixed, burnt greens and/or diseased greens. Did not see a Marshall the entire round and the pace of play is horrible. Group of 2 in front of us were playing 2 balls from tee to green…and they were horrible golfers. DO NOT play here on a weekend unless you want a 6hr round of golf. Not worth the hassle or frustration.
1st day after rain
Been a week of rain leading into my first time at the coarse. The reviews from a week before said greens were cratered and that is true. Lay out is good and overall conditions good. Would love to see the green recover in a couple weeks with the right care. I will plan to play here again in a couple months
Great course a few issues
Greens were fairly beat up and some cups damaged. the layout was great but pace of play was a little slow
Would still play again
Meh
So I got there an hour early to hit the range putt and chip, apparently there were no golf balls at the range, so on to putting, at the 9th hole I caught up and joined the group ahead of me, from that point on it was slow going, the staff seemed a bit indifferent about the range balls but otherwise i enjoyed the course
Greens Not as Nice as Normal - Still a good time
I always enjoy this course for the layout and difficulty. It's very well maintained, however the greens on the last round were in worse shape than normal. I'd definitely say this is a rarity though for this course and I'd still recommend it.
Nice Course
I enjoy the course, greens are difficult. I always seem to find the pace of play slow.
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.
