Traditional North Shore Track

Mature trees line the fairway, tees and greens are in great shape, and pace of play was excellent. Def a good value when considering green fees for the experience

Bad rough

The rough there was 2 feet high and I could barley get my ball out of their and had to take 2 strokes every hole just to get out of it if not more, bad course upkeep, very disappointing

Great Shape!

For the end of October the course was in great shape. Hardly any leaves to contend with and the greens were rolling nice.

Always a fun round here. Course was in good shape. Greens were a little bumpy after aeration but doable. New practice area is very nice.

It is what is

The Golf course is in good condition but you can find others ( out west) that are more challenging and open, for a price around the same. Hole 17 & 18 are re-done and are the best finishing holes around - kudos to them for that . It's a very walkable golf course . If you can find a Hot Deal for around the $40 mark go for it, however $63 plus tax ? No thanks.

Nice course and very good value

Deerpath is a very nice public golf course that offers great value for the money. Played on a. Saturday morning and it was $55 including cart.
The course is in good condition for a public facility that gets a lot of play. The course provides good challenge with a number of interesting holes. Pace of play for a Saturday was very good as we finished in just over 4 hours.
Staff is very friendly and helpful.
