Deer Park Revisited

It’s been at least a decade since our group last played Deer Park, and we have been missing out on a great course value priced. We all agree on getting back there soon to play it again. It’s well worth the hour plus drive.

Old timey course perfect for playing hickory clubs.

Over 100 years old, the course is perfect for playing the low, running shots with hickory clubs. There are three different forward tees for the perfect length and the greens are smallish, with adequate space to roll a shot on.

Easily walkable, there are only three lengthy walks from green to tee.

Great Pace of Play! Great Course!

Father’s day weekend, the course was completely full, and we still played in under 4 hours. The golf course gets better and better every time we play it. The greens were the best we’ve putted on all year.

Managed tee times poorly.

Came out for an afternoon round on a Wednesday. Was told to start on hole 10, did not get an explanation as to why. Come to find out they had woman’s league on the back which caused a significant delay in pace of play for many golfers.
