Deerpath Golf Course

The course, on the weekends, is too overbooked. I'd stay away, since it makes for extremely slow playtime. During the week, however, it's a very nice course to play.

We were pleasantly surprised by the course design that made the most out of basically flat landscape. it was well thought out as the hazards were plentiful and well placed and approaches to the green were challenging by virtue of mature trees. Very well maintained.

The course was in excellent condition! The greens rolled true and were pretty quick. We played another course while in the area, paid more for greens fees and was not as nearly as nice as what this course was. We had a very enjoyable day!

Great golf course, fun, challenging and well maintained. Played Sat AM in less than 4 hrs. Those from the city looking for great value at a fun course should head to Deerpath. Also would be remiss if I did not mention the great breakfast sandwiches at the turn, my group raved about them!

It looks and feels more like a country club than a municipal course. Slow play is not tolerated. The natives were very friendly!!

Not your typical back and forth straight fairways, some turn left then right, some make a sharp right. Fairways are narrow with trees. I had a lot of fun!

Tight, short course. Very much target golf. The course is in great shape - very green and lush. Good food at the turn and nice people. Building/facility is in need of updates. Will play again for sure.

Nice course, good value. Very slow play though, some beginners groups

Lots of opportunities for losing strokes, trees, water, unplayable roughs. Greens were smooth, but slow due to overnight rain. Slow play on front due to junior golfers, no ranger, and no organized starter. Front 9 took 2.5 hours, back 9 less than 2.

No beverage cart.

Although a higher fee to play 18 than my usual courses, I truly enjoyed playing Deerpath. The course is not overbooked, so it moves at a good pace. Also, needing to work on my irons, Deerpath has soft and forgiving fairways for lifting the ball and getting good distance on it. I plan to return again before the summer is over.

Course is pretty well maintained especially for the price. Staff has always been great and pace of play is usually pretty good.

We had a fairly pleasant experience at Deerpath. The staff was great, the conditions were good, but the pace of play was rather disturbing. It is a park district course of great quality, but it draws the local kids who don't have a clue about pace of play and etiquette on the course. We had to wait on virtually every shot, and were hit into from behind from eager youths.

I was able to get a foursome with carts for $44 per person on a Sunday at noon, one day in advance. I have played the course once or twice, but none of my partners had seen it. It is a nice parkland course that is tougher than the scorecard shows. It seemed longer than the 6200 it says on the card. It was in very good condition for a public course at that price. The greens were challenging, but thank heavens they weren't too fast. Just right. You will probably see a couple deer on the course greeting you on a tee, which was fun. The absolute key to playing the course is to be in the fairway, not because the rough is too long, but you will not have a clear shot into the green due to the trees. The ONLY minor complaint was from the one woman in my group. The red tees at times are only a couple yards from the tips, especially on the par 3's. Other than that, we had a very enjoyable day. The pace of play was spectacular for a public course on a Sunday. 4 hours on the nose. My regular course would have been a MINIMUM of 4:45, and it is the same yardage (un-named, but it is south of Deerpath about 10 miles and begins with W). It was a very steamy day and I think we saw the beverage cart every three holes, which was perfect. And she was very friendly. Get up to Lake Forest. Very pretty and a great course for the price.

I was very disappointed with the staff,they were not very helpful or friendly.There were no rangers to help keep up the pace of play. And I did not recieve the Golf Now price which was supposed to be $34.00. They charged me $39.00 plus I had to pay Golf Now the $1.99 on top of it. So I am not happy.

Well maintained and very friendly. Staff and guests made my first visit seem like I was playing the hometown course. Definitely a value and a reasonable challenge.

I play about 70-80 rounds a year and never played Deerpath. I booked it alone and had a great experience. Course was in great shape staff incredibly friendly (everyone). I plan on playing more often. A.Medina

Holes are pretty close to each other. Greens were maintained. Price is about $10-$15 more than last year, no idea why, I would most likely not come back out here paying the price they want to charge.

This is one of my "go to" courses when I'm looking to play North of Chicago. Course is always in good condition, and pace of play is generally good.

Not particularly long, but sneaky hard, and very walkable. Played on an early April Friday and got a great rate ($30.00). Grass driving range is a big plus.

The reason I give an overall 3 star and would not recommend to a friend is because of the steep rate. It is a descent course but not worth paying $50+. They need to lower the price.
