Players and pace

You are better off paying 35 dollars to play somewhere else without the disrespectful players. Respect to the game and course are absent. Play your local muni with people that are respectful.

Cancelled my reservation with no notice.

Got to the clubhouse and was told our reservation was cancelled due to a golf outing. They “tried contacting me”, but I never got a call or email. Disappointing to drive almost an hour to deal with this

Good golf course for the value, greens in excellent shape, challenging although not long from the back tees, fairways don’t give a lot of roll so the course effectively plays longer. Golf course is out in front of you so there’s no mystery in where to hit the shot, 11 is a severe dogleg right and you will be blocked out if you can’t dive the ball at least 210 yards past the trees on the right. Al in all a fair test of golf.

Better than before

I avoided Deerpath while the Army Corps of Engineers was building a new retention pond. During that construction project, the course was forced to use a temporary green on 17 and temporary tee on 18. Now that the work has been done, both holes are better than before. Overall the course conditions also seem improved. The course is flat, but trees and hazards make it plenty challenging. I’ll gladly play again.

Pace of Play

Play faster than the standard 15 minutes a hole or under 2 hours for 9 holes otherwise the ranger will heckle you. We finished at 4 hours 2 minutes for 18 holes and were approached 3 times… very annoying.

Good public course.

Carts are decent

Fairways are open

Sand traps are ok

Greens in good condition (not a lot of marks), avg slope

Tee boxes are well kept

Country Club Vibe - Public Course

I like Deerpath for many reasons. Starting with the pre round options, I like the grass tees driving range, plus the 18 hole putting and chipping area known as the lawn is awesome. The starters and gm always are polite and try to accommodate if things come up. The layout is not overly difficult and the greens roll very nicely. Only downside are the bunkers as sometimes the sand is hard or not enough. Pace of play is usually good and I typically have a great experience overall. I highly recommend Deerpath.
