customer service

The people at the desk were clueless as to customer service. I purchased a tee time on line and not from Deerfield's website and was treated as if i stole money out of their pocket.Waiting to hear from management about the training they give the employees

Spring is here... Where was the drinking water?

I was parched out there by the end of the second nine because the water fountains weren't turned on and they didn't put any water coolers out on the course. It's 80 degrees guys come on.

Nice and we'll kept

This was a enjoyable course.

It was well maintained. Fairways require you to be pretty accurate.

Bunkers are in good shape with decent sand.

Staff was present and friendly. We had a ranger driving around and a few holes keeping a eye on things.

The greens are smooth quick and true.

I enjoyed my experience and would go again with out second thought.

Cold day , but a but good value !

Grew up playing on this course, now live in California but try to play it whenever I’m back in the area. Course was in great shape today, despite being a cold day (mid 40’s) , was a little soggy with all the rain here recently, so cart paths only, hole #12 closed for bunker renovations, greens surprisingly very fast , but fair. Only complaint was not the courses fault, our twosome got stuck behind an slow-playing elderly gentleman on #15 who was not willing to let us go through, but we didn’t press the issue (as I normally would have, as I hate both poor golfing etiquette and slow play). Would recommend Deerfield to anyone considering playing it , give it a try.

Bunkers need work

Overall Deerfield is an enjoyable course to play. For a public course it is in good shape and the grounds are well cared for. Only problem was bunkers with not enough sand cover. I ground my club into the clay bottom more than once.

relaxing, enjoyable

I have not played Deerfield for quite a few years, so when I recently played it, I experienced quite a number of changes. For instance, what was once the back nine is now the front nine, and vice versa. Moreover, the trees are noticeably more mature, which adds an additional challenge in playing the course. The course was in very good shape, except for a few unrepaired ball marks on the green. The quality of the bunkers and sand traps was very good, also, with the right amount of sand to present a penal challenge without being unfair. Our foursome had no complaints regarding the pace of play, in spite of playing behind what seemed to be a league.

Overall, I would characterize the level of challenge as being moderate, and the overall experience as being very enjoyable.

Course has gone downhill past 2 years!

I use to play Deerfield a lot as its the closest course to my house and I use to be able to find good deals. The course itself is not to bad and is kept in pretty good shape, it is a pretty bland course though with boring scenery and dull par 3's. My issue is the general lack of course management which is horrible and the number of golfers that have no knowledge of golf etiquette and ruin the rounds for everyone else. Foursomes on the greens taking every putt like its the pga championship, has become the norm. A round of golf should take 4 hours max and this needs to be enforced, average round at deerfied is 5 hours. Lat round i played there a single woman was playing 3 balls for practice and was the cause of a huge backup and she was oblivious as too what she was doing, get it together and move people along. I will most likely be looking for a new regular course too play!!
