Deerfield Golf & Tennis Club

The course itself is challenging. It played beautifully. Some greens are maintained just fine but there are still quite a few that need some attention,
Also don't bother with a post round drink. Bartender was horrible. Sat at the bar right in front of him with only 7 other people around and didn't so much as get a hello for almost 10 minutes.

This is a great course, that has issues with the greens, currently. I play this course 2-3 times per year, and this last time noted that the greens were in need of attention. Very slow, and not in the best shape. The elevation changes and good greens are what makes this course special, but the slow pace of play (Sunday afternoon), combined with poor attention to greens and fairway maintenance were disappointing.

Course was in great shape for winter and the price was also great.

First time playing course. After a lot of rain for last couple of weeks, today was cart path only. Due to my age and heart condition, I was really beat by the end of the round. There is not a flat fairway anywhere on this course, so it was climbing up and down hill all day. I really like the course but wont play again unless I can drive my cart onto the course. Even at that the course was in fine shape for this time of the year. There are a lot of uphill blind shots, recommend having a GPS. You will not hit from many flat lies, be especially prepared for sidehill lies. Greens relative to rest of course were easier. I will be back but when the course dries out.

COURSE SOGGY FROM ALL THE RAIN AND WHEN WE CHECKED IN WE WERE TOLD THAT THERE WERE 8 TEMP GREENS BUT ACTUALLY THERE WERE 12 TEMP GREENS SO IT KIND OF TOOK ALL THE FUN OUT OF PLAYING THE COURSE .........BOOKED TEE TIME ON GOLF NOW SHOULD HAVE BEEN GIVEN OPTION TO EITHER GET MONEY BACK AND OR BOOK A ROUND FOR ANOTHER DAY WHEN ALL THE REGULAR GREENS WERE BEING USED .........CAN TELL YOU THAT BOTH MYSELF AND OTHER PLAYER WERENT HAPPY ABOUT THE ARRANGEMENT BUT OUR HANDS WERE TIED CAUSE WE ONLY PLAYED CAUSE THE GREEN FEE WAS NON- REFUNDABLE .................WOULD ONLY RECOMMEND IT IF COURSE IS IN FULL USE AND NOT TEMP GREENS OR CART PATH ONLY .........

Winter conditions made the course very hard. Fast sometimes bumpy greens. Up hill, down hill, and side hill on almost every hole. Well maintained for December in Delaware.

I enjoy playing Deerfield because the tough holes make me concentrate more than most courses and if i screw up- I can try again at another time

Long round due to Veteran's Day holiday. Course is well maintained for the time of year. Challenging layout - a few holes are difficult (>200 yd uphill par 3 from the white tees), a few provide birdie opportunities.

Course was in good shape as it should be for the time of year. Pin placements were brutal. You do not want to be above the hole. On #10 I was 12 feet below the pin, putted the ball 1 ft past the hole and it came back down to where I started. Good layout. For the money I would prefer White Clay 100%

This course is by far the best value I have ever seen. Inexpensive during non-peak time, very good condition, excellent layout and very fast play. The only con, it is a little out of the way.

This is a gem in Delaware. Anytime you can play here do so. The layout, elevation changes, and hold locations are challenging enough to test your mettle often - yet still give you a chance to make par better if you think about the shot ahead.

You wont see many public courses like this one.. Its a strategic gem that requires every club in the bag.. Deerfield is an old fashioned tree lined beauty of a course.. You'll look at the scorecard and think its a short course... then you'll go out and play.. and experience the elevation changes and narrow fairways and realize this course plays much longer than listed. You'll need to play here a few times to score well since club selection can be very hard with judging distance on many of the uphill 2nd shots.. The course still has a private club feel and you are treated very nicely by the staff.. Last time I played here,,, there was a slow group ahead of us and the manager came out onto the course and gave me a 60 dollar voucher to come play again.. How nice was that? This place is one of my favorites in the entire Philly area... and I've played em all..

Course is set with challenges with some par 4 holes very long. It is the fall season so the biggest challenge was finding slightly pushed or pulle tee shots. The amount of leaves on the course makes it difficult to find the ball where under normal summer period would not be a problem.

This course is difficult for the average or below average golfer due to hills, trees, slopes and slippery greens. It took nearly five hours to play it on a weekday afternoon. Unless you get it for a great price, you might want to look elsewhere, especially when the leaves are falling.

Challenging course with no lollygagging in front of you.

Would recommend, but there are not many fairways that are not sloped

Pretty average course. It was in decent shape, some of the greens were a bit rough. The layout didnt impress me as I found the holes meshed together too much. Other: The staff was friendly and the clubhouse was very nice.

One of my favorites. A mix of hole lengths gives you opportunities to put shorter clubs in your hand on some holes. Elevation changes do put a premium on club selection. A little pricey, but still worth checking out.

Deerfield golf and tennis club is a great value. I would recommend to anyone. Two thumbs up!

Deerfield is wonderfully maintained golf course ,the ungilating fairways are a great challenge, the greens are of average speed they could be cut lower but always well maintained , ,and the club house and resturant provides a beautiful setting for weddings, outings along with a great casual bar I give it a 10 +++
