Golfer Reviews
Clearly greens crew not up to speed
The course is as always challenging and if you’re playing well it’s a blast
I was surprised that the greens we very patchy and slower than I expect at this course
I’ll still return cause if the challenge
A tough but great public course
The course is in really good condition. It is a very tough course, a lot of hills and uneven lies. So if you hit all over the place this is not the course for you. Overall great staff great club house and the food and drinks are alway good. I play here a lot.
Good Course
First time playing the course. Only draw back was it was cart path only due to rain the night before. The course is very challenging, with the slope of the fairways. It
Seems there is very little flat ground with your shots. Elevated tee boxes and greens can make most average golfers humble. It is a course my friend and I will visit more.
Strong test of golf
Deerfield is one tough course to score on. The elevation changes and uneven lies make the short par 4s into strong challenges . The greens are large and undulating. Make sure to keep your approaches under the hole or you will pay dearly. I've seen the fairways and tees in better shape and when the weather warms up I am expecting an improvement. The staff is excellent and the pub there is one of the best around.
Great layout and design! Rolling hills for days!
Challenging overall for the beginner type golfer but fun layouts and blind holes that make it super interesting to play. Good representation of this area’s golf!
