Deer Brook Golf Club

Such a great course. Always in great condition and play is always fast. My only critique is the rating of the white tees. It should be a 72 😝…it’s a tough course…especially the greens. There are very very few flat putts on the course and many of the greens have major undulations. For the price, it’s one of the best courses in the Charlotte area!

AVOID THIS COURSE. This course is not worth paying full price. Riverbend (also in Shelby) has much better greens and manages their course better. Deer Brook’s Pro shop is unprofessional. I prepaid for a tee time (hot deal)… my playing partner and I drove an hour (separate cars) there only to find the course was closed - with no notice. The assistant pro said they would call me back, but I never heard from them. We weren’t able to play golf that day because of their screw up. They tried to blame GolfNow, but it was clearly their fault… not GolfNow’s. No accountability. No apology. No resolution. I recommend playing somewhere else.

The greens were fast. Words of advice, “stay below the hole”. Downhill putts will not stop

I was just passing through town and found this place in short notice. I had a great experience and would highly recommend. Course was in great shape and I had a lot of fun

Fairways and roughs in good condition. Sand traps were raked but not fluffy. Gteens held the approach shot, were medium speed, rolled true.

I really enjoyed the golf course. The greens need a little work but we think probably had trouble w the storm. Hopefully the greens will be better the next time we play. We will be back for sure. Worth the 1 hour drive to play.

Fairways and roughs in good shape. Greens held the approach shot very well, lots of non-repaired ball marks from previous players, rolled true, were medium/fast speed. Sand traps were well raked but not very deep sand (they need to be deep raked!). Overall experience very pleasant.

I enjoyed the layout and pace of play.

Conditions were all good. The greens were a little damaged in spots but hold, roll good, and are fast.

All workers inside and out were great. The price very reasonable. Will play again and recommend to others.

Greens are a little messy on a couple holes but fairways and overall in really good shape.

Deer Broom is good public golf at a decent value. The price has risen over the years but that could be said for golf in general. The layout is a tough challenge for the average golfer. The fairways are generous enough. But there are several forced carries, elevation changes and putting and chipping around the greens is rather tricky. The course is also pretty long from the white tees coming in at over 6400 yards. The course was in good shape. Several greens were showing the wear and tear of a hot summer. The bent grass had several bare spots that should improve with cooler weather. But the fairways and tee boxes were nearly perfect. It’s well worth a play and a decent value.

Deer Brook is a great local course. It is a championship style layout, especially from the back at a good price and a very good value. The course is in good shape. Greens firm and true. Fairways and tees good for this time of year. The rough had a lot of poa annua in it right now. And due to heavy rains yesterday and last night, the bunkers were unplayable. The course was pretty wet. Cart path only. And so the pace which is pretty slow on weekends anyway was especially slow. Over 4 and a half hours for our group. But. The layout is outstanding. Very fair and tough from the white tees for an average golfer. Well worth the money you pay to play for this course.

Neat course in the middle of Cleveland County. Nice layout,along with the condition. A few tricky holes with blind shots. Yet very playable.

Finally played Deer Brook in Shelby and came away very impressed. This course has some beautiful stretches of holes on both the front and back 9's. I love courses that have elevated tees or greens where you can see 3 or 4 holes from one vantage point. Deer Brook has several spots like this on both nines, notably #1 green, #3 tee / #6 green, #11 green, #12 green, and #14 green / #17 fairway. I also like courses that finish right in front of the clubhouse so your buddies in other groups can watch you play 18. This course is reasonably priced and has a nice big clubhouse with a restaurant and covered outdoor patio bar. The layout feels wide open off the tee. The greens can be difficult due to tiers and slopes, especially if the Bentgrass is rolling quick. All in all, this is a scenic, very challenging course
