Deerfield Golf & Tennis Club

Love this course. Wish it played it better. Fastest greens in the state with tricky reads.. Extremely well maintained and groomed.

The weather was perfect and the course was in great shape but 4:45 to play the course is way too slow. It's my favorite course in DE but they should manage the pace of play better. We were waiting on every hole while the group in front of us looked for lost balls and took their time on the greens. For some reason they always let the female putt out first and then the 3 guys would putt. On the turn I asked the bag boy to send a ranger out to ask them to speed up, as there were 2 open holes in front of the group He told me they were on pace for Deerfield's 4:20 pace of play. . We had teed of at 11:40 and it was now 2:00, so to be on pace we should have teed off at the 10th 10 minutes ago. The bag boy disappeared so I couldn't let him know he was wrong. We struggled with slow play the whole back 9 and when we went in to get a beer at 4:30 when we were finished, the bartender told us the bar was closed. What bar closes at a golf course at 4:30 on a holiday?? We left and found another place to spend our money. I will go back and play it again but think management should send out rangers to keep the pace up!!

After playing other courses in the area, Deerfield was a treat!

Course was long and very difficult. Was in great shape.

A real fun track to play and score on. Generous fairways, but be mindful of the slopes and elevation chchanges. Very good and receptive green complexes. Very courteous staff will advise first time guests on the vagaries of the nines. Had a great time and hope to be back again

This is one of those very few courses that treats golfers who choose to book a hot deal differently than they treat other golfers. Whereas other truly great courses in the area....such as Wyncote allow hot deal customers solo play if the course is not crowded and co-bookers have not arrived ....Deerfield insists on making hot deal customers wait until the very second of their tee time and to be grouped with others who have booked that time regardless if the course is nearly empty of other golfers. The policy is enforced with a rudness that really makes one question why they choose to participate in Golf Now if they clearly have such a contempt for hot deal Booker's? All of that being said...the course is always well maintained...is a great layout and the elevation changes throughout the course offer a fun challenge. It's just somwhat comical the way the staff acts as though the course is some elite private club....which it clearly is not. If you don't mind dealing with snarky attitudes...the course is worth a visit.

Fun layout to play. Lots of sloped fairways.

Greens were good, not fast but good shape. Tee boxes decent. Fairways good as well.

Looks like the course needs water and some Tlc. Worth the $40 we laid to play.

I would like to come back in the fall when it’s cooler out. Staff was good.

One of the best in the area IMO. For the money you can’t beat the quality of this course

Tees great. Fairways great. Greens great. Pro shop staff great. No complaints whatsoever other than missing three birdies from 3, 4 and 8 feet on back nine that would have given me a 65. All my fault, not the greens.

Love this place, been playing here off and on since it was Louviers and after MBNA bought it. Better than ever, but much easier since they chopped out so many trees. Used to be a bear! Now it’s more playable for the average Joe. I would recommend this course to anyone who isn’t going to complain about sidehill lies. But they’re just being babies anyway, so....:’(.

Great Course , very challenging, one of the best in

Delaware !

Played here for the first time and was very happy with the conditions and layout. Greens were deceptively quick and tough to read. A lot of rolling hills and slope on fairways and greens. Course was in very good condition and I will definitely be playing again.

I was impressed by the entire experience. The

Young Man Kevin at the Bag Drop was very nice, as well as the Young Lady in the Pro Shop. The Course is in Great Shape + was quite challenging. A Wonderful Day for sure! I'd love to play there again.

One of my favorite courses in the area. A hidden gem! I would join if I lived closer. We play this course at least 5 times every year. One of the reasons I bought the Raspberry Trail card was to play here and then they dropped it. Course was in good condition as usual, but we were unfortunate to get stuck behind a slow group. Went to the tee box at our start time and the group was about 50 yards out searching for a lost ball. Waited on the par 3 second tee for awhile as they putted out. When we finally hit our drives on 4 which was more than an hour after we teed off, we called the Pro Shop to see if they could send out a ranger to speed them up. While they were on the 4th green the group ahead of them was chipping on to the 6th green, two holes ahead of them. After playing the 5th hole we drove to the 7th tee to bypass the group as they were still on the 6th fairway. There was a ranger at the 6th green waiting to say something to them, but we were already teed off, so we never played the 6th at all. After that it was clear sailing the rest of the day, as there was no one in front of us or behind us thru 18. Still love the course but hate slow play!!

This course is in very good condition and was fun to play on. Looking forward to the Fathers Day Brunch which includes a free round of golf!

Played this course with a friend who is a member. $39 for twilight golf. We went off at 3. Course was not crowed. This course is pretty tough in my opinion. It’s hilly so ball is always below or above your feet. The course is long and will requires a lot of up hill 2nd shots. The bunkers are large and impressive. A lot of t-shots are elevated quite high and have great site lines. The fairways are large and manageable. This is a very nice public course, can see why it’s top ten in the state of Delaware. And at under $50 for 18 a great value. Another thing I thought was cool is I only lost one ball the entire day, and for an average golfer playing the course for the first time, probably a rarity. But it speaks to the good conditions of the course and surrounding areas.

Course played great. Fairways were nice and dry even though we had rain last night. Greens were slow and shaggy. Beers were cold and the cart girl was cute! Sun was shining. Good day for golf.
