Midweek Round

Really enjoyed the round. Course was in excellent condition considering that it had rain the day before. Pace was on the slow side because there were lots of players out. Beautiful course and nice layout.

Takes to long to play

Went out on a weekday AM at 7:30 in the morning. I play around and I would expect that an early AM round should run around 3:40-4hrs. The round took 4:20 and waiting on every shot. There was a group ahead of us that was very slow and had atleast a hole open ahead of them all the time. One ranger visit did not help and they created a bad experience. Maybe I have high expectations, but all summer we play at these earlier times and this was the first time.

Not that conducive for a HANDICAP person

Got a lot of static and grief from the desk agent upstairs!!!

This was completely unacceptable and unwarranted. I have a portable Oxygen Concentrator for my COPD which I need on a warm and humid day or when I try to golf 18 holes and for that reason can’t afford to have anybody riding with me if they smoke or park the cart next to a lit cigarette or cigar.

But otherwise it’s a great course. Thanks everybody.

Great course despite slow pace from outing

We were behind an outing this time, and it slowed us way down. I overheard one of their participants said their round last 5 hours. That's 1 hour beyond pace. Perhaps restrict outings to playing best ball instead straight up golf.

This course is still one of my favorites!

Unexpected Find

DeerfieldGC is an unexpectedly good course; well maintained; 6800 yds from the tips; challenging. I have played all over the world, and this is one of the best values around. Great practice range as well. Did i mention nice folks too? You won’t be disappointed.
