Deerfield Golf & Tennis Club

Deerfield was in pretty good shape. Went on the Fourth of July, it rained moderately for a few hours basically until I got to the course and you couldnt even tell it had rained. Moderately challenging.

Only live 10 minutes from here and play here as often as I can? Great layout and usually fantastic conditions. Played as a twosome and went off at the perfect time because we played in less then 3 hours. However, I never knew that they or any course would airiate the greens in JUNE...?? Made putting a bit of a joke, especially when they did not even fill the holes with sand. Cart path only from all the rain we've had around here but, we were the only ones respecting that!! Cart girl waved to us as we went off the first hole but, we never saw her. She must have left at the hottest part of the day, Clueless!!!

Had a 12pm tee time. Pulled up at 11:50am (running a little late obviously since it was about an hour drive for us), starter was right there at the bag drop. Grabbed our clubs and had our cart 100% ready for us in about 1 min. Walked in the pro-shop, paid right away, used the facilities and teed off at 11:59am. Awesome! I am starting this review with the people because they were great. Very friendly and the experience felt like a country club. 5 stars for the staff.

For the facilities.... the pro shop was nice and was stocked with a nice selection of balls, shirts, hats, tees and everything else you could need. I did not check out the prices but if your buying anything at the pro shop anywhere, you should know you are paying full retail prices. Bathrooms were very nice. The bar and restaurant looked very nice as we walked past it but never actually got to make it inside for 2 reasons... 1) the beer cart girl was at the tee box waiting for us as well pulled up which was sweet and 2) when we wrapped up the round, we were going to eat there but there was no-one in the bar area including a bar tender so we just skipped it since it was an hour drive home for us. We saw the beer cart at least 4 times in the round which was nice and she had plenty of ice.... A big plus!

For the course.... This was our first time at the course so there were definitely a few hard lessons learned for not playing it before but that is always expected for a new course. I am on the longer side off the tee avg about 270-280 yds with the potential to get it out over 300 yds. I should have kept the driver in the bag most holes to play the course correctly but I didn't and my score on some holes definitely reflected that. This course is all about placement and trying to find a flat lie (which there are few of by the way). Play the roll off the side of the hills and go with the terrain. You're toast if you don't so keep the ego at home. My dad who is very straight but not very long (200 yds off the gold tees) would have eaten me up for breakfast here for sure because most good landing spot played back from the greens. Get too aggressive and your playing from a 45* slant and its tough to get it close. Pace of play was very good. Only choked up at 9 and 18 which wasn't too bad honestly. Tee boxes are just about the only flat lie you will find all day :-) and were kept nice. Greens were fair, not fast and not slow which is a perfect speed for the course because if they good country club or top end course fast (which is how I like them) you could easily see an increase in some 3 & 4 putts with maybe a ball rolling off the green depending upon pin placement. No many if any ball marks on the greens and they were rolling true. Fairways were nice when I found them. Rough was fair and not too long where you lost a ball in the rough. Only saw gnats on the 5th green which is at the edge of the course and I huge plus for me. I pulled the Off! out after that hole but honestly didn't need it the rest of the day.

Overall a really good experience and a different type of challenging course to play. I would definitely recommend this course to play at least once in the season if you bounce around like us within an hour driving radius and will most likely get back to this course once or twice more to get some revenge.

Course was in great shape despite heavy rain in the area for the past 3 days. Slight mist the entire round but course was in such good shape it didn't matter. Great round overall!

Had a really lovely day playing here, it's a beautiful course, has challenging greens but it's fair to the average golfer overall.. Will definitely be coming to play here again.

Great course. Challenging with easier holes spread throughout. Greens were too firm for how small they are

One of the nicest public courses in Delaware, greens were fast and true, sand was fluffy and the fairways and rough were nicely groomed. Definitel a must play.

It's a very cool, hilly course, with a friendly staff - would play again

Great condition for this early in season. Staff always the best. Very satisfied

Great course especially when you play for the hot deals. Nicest course for the value in the area.

For the money you won't find a nicer course in the area. I have played here a dozen or so times pace of play has always been excellent - staff is friendly - food is good - will be back lots in 2015. Wet course today with some temp greens but you expect that this time of year and for the price I couldn't say no.

The course is in great shape and the greens roll fast and true.

Staff, bar, and grounds crew very friendly.

Great food and outstanding selection of beers and cocktails at the 19th hole.

After hearing great reviews about this course, I got a chance to play on it and it didn't disappoint. Course is perfectly maintained, the meandering hills offers not only a challenge but and to a great scenery. Give this course a try, you won't be disapointed.

Beautiful course and friendly people. Couse is difficult with lots of down hill, up hill and side hill lies

Very friendly public course. Courses in top condition. Will definitely go back for more

Had a great round, the course conditions were outstanding.

Played today for $20. Was a steal. Many, many leaves this time of year. Greens were lightning. Excellent value. Would play this track many more times.

The course was great except for the million leaves. This is a very good challenge for any golfer. The only problem we had was the very slow groups in front us which made us have to skip a couple of holes to get in front of them. We saw no ranger.

Course conditions rival private courses. Pro shop personnel friendly and outstanding. My favorite course in NCC!

- Nice Course
- Challenging
- Greens could be nicer, showing lots of wear and tear
- Got hit up on due to us patronizing the cart vendor on the 9th hole
