Deer Brook Golf Club

Booked this for a group.Had to reserve with cc.Good course conditions and layout and we had a good time.A number in my group wanted to go back out there again before the season ends even though it's just over an hours drive for most of us.It was very busy both on and off the course on the day as there was a county championship and a Sunday brunch(which looked awesome but didn't try ).One of my group was a member who said he would buy me a beer if I didn't like it more than Verdict Ridge,jury is out on that one not sure you can really compare two really different courses.
I would definitely include this on our groups calendar next year.

The staff was friendly, the course was in excellent condition, although some of the rough was so deep that it was quite difficult to find your ball (even more reason to keep your ball in the fairway).

Not the nicest course we have played, but a very good course and a good value. We would recommend this course to anyone that wants to go out and have a good time.

Deerbrook is always in good shape. Wide open fairways for the bombers off the tees. Only two problems that hamper this course. No par 5 is reachable in two from the amateur tees and the greens are always slick and very undulating. Sometimes pace of play can be irritating, but that is hit and miss. Great course all year round other than those two issues. But give it a try, and decide for yourself.

I like 45 miles away and make the drive because of the course. Not many courses am I willing to do this for. Fairways were great and each hole has its on challenge. Greens contained a lot of ball marks and appears very few players repairs their divots. Otherwise the greens were in great shape.

I have played Deer Brook several times. It always seems to be in really good shape. It is challenging , but fair and offers the moderate handicap player a chance to make a birdie or two. When I played the back tees in the past it was all the golf course I wanted. But, these days I play from the white tees and it still gives me a stern test. Always great to play Deer Brook.

We had a good time playing this course. Fairways were I. Good conditions and the greens were smooth and rolled true.

The overall feel of the course was much more like a high-end course than a small country course. The range felt like we were hitting off of fairway lies (no sand-filled divots to hit around!) and was in immaculate shape. Greens all ran quick enough, but not so fast that downhill putts fly away from you. We were never in bunkers, so that wasn't really an issue.

The greenside rough plays thick and is grabby, as it should be, and the fairways were all well-maintained. There were only maybe three or four rough patches on the course - one on I think #11's green on a severe slope comes to mind. However, compared to any course in the Charlotte area, you could easily pay twice the price in the metropolitan area and not be on as good of a course as Deer Brook. It plays on the harder side from the tips, with only one or two par 4's under 400, but the greens are well bunkered, requiring more strategy when hitting into greens. The par 3 course next door is a fun way to burn time and avoid traffic as well - albeit with slower greens. Their yardages were frequently 10-20 yards off, so if you know your yardages I'd bring a scope to be safe. Mostly from 80-120 yards.

A friend & I played on Saturday morning and the course was in fantastic shape. The fairways were great; very green with good thick grass. The greens were likewise in superb shape, Very quick, but smooth & consistent from hole to hole. You can tell the course gets lots of play from number of ball marks on the greens but at these rates and conditions it's to be expected. The best value & conditions anywhere near Charlotte.

As always enjoyed playing deerbrook,thumbs up to them for keeping this course always looking top notch, it's worth the drive from charlotte, I'll recommend playing this course, it's a must!

**Facilities were very nice.
**Driving range was excellent.
**Fairways were in great shape
**Tee boxes were in great shape
**Bunkers were nice and consistent.
**Greens were nice for the most part. They were shot and held shots nicely. A number of them were in great shape but there are a ton of unrepaired ball marks on the green causing some bumpy puts. REPAIR YOUR FREAKING BALL MARKS!!!! A couple greens had burned sections but overall they greens were nice.
FYI - the putting green near the driving range is much faster than actual greens. Putting green by club house is much more true to actual course speed.
** Carts are very nice
** Layout is fun. You use a lot of different clubs. Some holes on the back get a little tight. The course is mapped out well and marked well.
** Staff are very friendly and helpful.

Overall this is a very nice course and at an excellent price. I would recommend the course to everyone. It's not terribly challenging but makes for a fun and enjoyable day.

Course in superb shape. Rain has been scarce lately and this place still looks awesome.

This course has everything a golfer desires: outstanding conditions tee through green; moderately hilly terrain; wide variety of hole designs; undulating greens; excellently maintained bunkers; beautiful scenery; and friendly staff.

Greens were great. Fairways were the best I played in NC (played 5 courses). Tee boxes were good. Great character to the course. I would love to play it again some time.

Wow! What a great golf course! The fairways and greens were in great shape, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. A must play for the area.

Deerbrook is an excellent golf course. A lot of holes are tough, but it does have some birdie holes out there too. Always in great shape, with very tricky greens. A must play, if you have never played this course before.

This is my regular course but first time I have made it out in over a month. The course has never been in better shape. It looks great. The clubs member guest tournament is this weekend and they have the course in great shape. All the grass is cut. The greens are fast and true. Bunkers weren't in great shape but we had a bad storm last night. And all for $26 afternoon rate. I've paid more than twice that for a course in not nearly as good shape. The course is pretty tough and a little long from the white tees. But go play a round there, you won't be sorry.

Great course in good condition and a very good deal for the money.

Very pleasantly surprised to find such a nice golf course and community a little off the beaten path. Easy to get to though. Beautiful clubhouse. Fabulous bent grass greens. Such a joy to be able to putt consistently compared to all the mini-verde you have to play on nowadays. Cart paths were exceptional. Hole layout and distances were well marked. Most holes are rolling and fairly open but a few tight shots here and there. Will definitely come back again.

The tee boxes were in great shape, fairways had some thin spots, appears to be because of hard winter, Greens were in above average condition, ran true and were ssemi- fast. Will definitely be back.

This course is one of the the hidden gems on Golf Now. Its in Shelby NC so it is a little bit of a drive from everywhere but well worth it. Nice range, putting green, and a very challenging chipping green. The views are nice and the fairways are mostly wide. Bring your short game as the greens are large and unjulating. If you happen to play on a windy day this course will give you all you can handle. Great value!!
