About

The mix of memorable, distinctive holes adds to the difficulty, as does the memorable, heavily wooded setting and dramatic elevation changes. Before or after your round at Deerfield Golf Club, enjoy the large putting green, full-service practice range, or lighted tennis and paddleball courts.

Hills, hills and hills
Once owned by the DuPonts as Le Vies, this is a shortish very hilly layout. Greens are average. Nearly every hole goes up and down hills with a couple not too severe blind shots. A fun course and you can score there if acurate. If you aren't the hills and trees will be a problem.
one of my top 5 courses in the area.
try to play deerfield a few times a month. always book on golfnow and pay at least half price or less. conditions are always favorable. course is quite interesting and a return player has advantages. several elevated greens and uneven lies .
A great rouund of golf
I hadn't played the course in a number of years (10 plus years)and I had forgotten how much I enjoyed playing there. The course was in great shape and the staff was very friendly and accomodating.
Nice, hilly course
This a very challenging course. Not many level lies. Not a long course, but the hills make up for the distance. Always in good shape.
The more I play this course the more I like it.
Seems like a stretch, but I played Beth Page(the green course) in the beginning of the summer, and I have to say, this reminded me of that a lot. From the tight tree-lined fairways, to the elevation changes, even the way they cut the fairways. Deerfield has a GREAT layout.
Nice challenging scenic course
Got a great deal on Golfnow! Seems like an older style course, which I like. Scenic and quiet setting with no houses on the course. A lot of elevation changes which can make some of the holes play longer or shorter than they look. Will play again.
