Deerfield Golf & Tennis Club

A friend described Deerfield to me as a place where you will never have a level stance, which is absolutely the best description. You can’t simply aim for the center of the fairway or you will end up in the rough on many holes here as they are so slanted.

Many interesting holes, nice condition of greens and fairways. It’s a good test of your golfing skills. Definitely be back

Courses in great shape, pin placements were challenging, and the staff has done a great job keeping the leaves off the course and greens

I’m recently retired and play everyday, I have a home course but have played 4-5 dozen local courses over the last year also.

When we arrived we were told that we would have to play the back twice to make it a “full round”. It was stated the front was closed for maintenance. When I looked surprised the lady and man behind in the pro shop said “it’s clearly stated on the sight ya booked the round on”. All the GN sight stated was airation alert, nothing about closures.

The greens were unplayable, recently punched with large tufts of grass throughout, like putting on a waffle iron. Sand was unevenly distributed and not brushed in

At the turn there was a line, people with tee times scheduled as if all 18 holes weee open. Playing the round went north of 5 hours

Enjoy the difficulty all the time always in great shape and staff is always courteous and friendly

Starter disappeared for 10-15 minutes to use the facilities. He was unfriendly when he returned and then on the course.

This is a wonderful course with a host of amenities. You will find that the rolling hills add some challenge to most shots once you move beyond the tee box.

Pace of play was excellent, course food and amenities were terrific. Will return to play here again!

The weather was a little iffy, but the staff worked hard on the weather issue as best they could. Still, it was a fun round of golf. This course is a challenging course to play and will test your game. It’s a fun course to play!

Deerfield is, without a doubt, the best public course in Delaware and could easily compete with many private clubs. The layout is both fun and challenging, featuring some tight fairways but overall offering a well-designed course with excellent greens and strategic bunker placements. The course is consistently in top-notch condition, even immediately after maintenance, thanks to the staff's impressive efforts to keep it playable. Speaking of the staff, they truly set Deerfield apart with their exceptional service, going above and beyond to enhance the experience.

Typically, after a round, I head straight home, but at Deerfield, I always make a point to grab a drink at the bar or patio area—it’s the perfect way to unwind after a great day on the course.

I really enjoyed my round at Deerfield. The layout is challenging and well thought out.

I used to play this course when MBNA owned it and I must say you have kept the course in great shape over the years. I would recommend this course to anyone looking for a challenge.

Decent greens. Staff is super friendly. Prices can be high but sometimes you’ll find a reduced rate or Hot Deal which can make all the difference. Your ball will be on an Uneven Lie 95% of the time, that being said, the course is extremely hilly, due to its northern DE location. Makes for a fun time.

Good value for golf. The course is not for the faint. Addressing the ball usually alway above or below your feet. Many holes are blind shots. Well worth playing if you like a challenge.

Professional staff, excellent facility, nice range. Course is in great shape for the end of August. Time to refurb cart paths...

Very hilly course. Alot of sloped fairways. Management need to cut back some of the tree branches hanging out into the fairways. Bunkers were horrible. No sand in most of them. I also played with a ginger and 1 of us shot a 125. Made for a long day…

Fun course to play, with a lot of challenging shots because of the hilly terrain. It was cart path only because they were holding an event the next day and the starter “yelled” at me for parking the cart right off the path so people could get by. Think he should have been worried about the guys driving up the fairways 🤣🤷🏼‍♂️. I’ll be back and would recommend.
