Deerpath Golf Course

Ok course but no ranger working after noon on weekends; they let people tee off starting at back nine so long wait after the turn! If you are wanting to keep pace, forget it. I reported it to the office not he didn't seem to care. Not rushing back!!

4/15

Course in good condition..

Couple of greens needed repairs

Played by myself in a cart, came upon two women on the first green. Waited every shot for three holes before having to jump ahead of them for their lack of golf etiquette and simple courtesy, totally clueless about letting someone play through. As far as the course, surprised at the poor condition for a course representing one of the richest cities in the U.S. Looks like they used pitchforks to aerate the greens! Aweful. The layout was nice, few holes were poorly designed. A lot of better courses in the area for less money. Two of the most financially strapped cities in Illinois, North Chicago and Waukegan have better courses, go figure. Spend some money Lake Forest!! Your course needs it!!! Until then, I'd play a different course

Had not played this course on Sunday's for several years because in the past five hour rounds. Had to wait on every shot for group in front. Two of our foursome left after nine holes. I was tempted but thought the pace might pick up on the back, it did not. The fairways are in good shape, the greens are not. The greens appeared to be lacking proper maintenance and did not roll well.. I think they over book the course. I had an on-line deal so not too upset, would have been if I paid full price!

Several years, the course was very attractive to very good golfers. Not so anymore. It now resembles a teaching facility, with a focus on juniors. Maintenance is average -- fairways are dry. The 19th Hole is unappealing. I just don't see the attraction for the better golfer segment. Yes, it is important to bring along younger players. This course is focused on that. But it isn't the excellent experience it once was for the better golfer. The clubhouse has a propensity to send out new groups on 10, interfering with golfers making the turn. Yesterday, they stuck in two groups ahead mine.
Just not a wonderful experience any more for the better golfer.

This course, while short in distance, is usually very well maintained.
My gripe on this occasion was the fact that the greens and fairways had both been aerated within the last week.
Should have been informed of this. I understand it is routine fall maintenance but let us know.
I appreciate the fact there no houses lining the fairways.

We really enjoyed this course. We had 2 guys and 2 girls. The course is flat and moderate with lots of trees and a reasonable amount of water. I will only play here if I use a deal, because this is not a $75 per round course but you can typically find golf now or groupon for ~$35/per person which is a nice value. Course was in good shape, when dry, greens are quite slow.

The tee times were set 8 minutes apart. This resulted in an extremely slow pace of play. We teed off approximately 25 minutes after our scheduled time and waited on every hole.
Carts were not readily available due to the over booking so the staff would start you off walking and then bring a cart out to you.
If this overbooking was resolved it would be a great course to play.

I love this golf course. It's a great test for all level golfers. They have airrated the greens to get them healthier so the putting surfaces are not the best.

We were unlucky playing with newly dressed greens which were in pretty poor condition. I understand that this is essential for the course management, just bad timing for our game. The course had a few interesting holes with water, but not as interesting as I had hoped.

Tight course, fairways in good shape, but greens need some time due to recent airation

Overall it was a great day out on the course. Pace of play was a little slow, but not bad.

We play this course often but occasionally we run into a pace of play issue. After we made the turn at 9 yesterday, two golfers who had just started play jumped in front of us. We waited on every hole on the back nine. The poo shop has to manage this better; cutting in front of groups is just WRONG. Course is very good condition.

OK course. I did not appreciate that they did not give any advance notice that they had aerated greens.

Fairway and greens in good. Staff is friendly. Good Driving Range. Practice chipping just off the first hole. Kinda hidden.

I found a good deal online for my tee time and wanted to try the course. I thought given the area it would be nicer. The greens were very slow and felt the course overall could have been maintained better. The layout was good and pace of play was great, feel if they put more work into the course it could be much nicer.

The course has a variety of interesting holes. Played as a single but wasn't held up much by other groups.

Overall the course is very nice. The greens were very slow, kinda made it a little difficult to judge. Nice fairways and play was a nice speed. Would play it again .

I got a deal for $32 riding which is about what the course is worth. Course was in good condition but overall just an average course. Play it if you find a good deal. Don't play if you're spending $50 or more.

played 3-some. there are 2 temporary greens that we were not warned about; both have large tarps covering the greens. fairways aren't bad. pace of play was within 4 hrs. except for the 2 temp. greens, other greens are in good shape.
