Deerfield Golf Club

I had a tee time at 9:30 and the weather was perfect. I found the course to be in great shape. The greens were in excellent condition and the layout is challenging but fair. The bunkers had the correct amount of sand and were placed to come into play on poorly executed approach shots. All in all I enjoyed my round and look forward to playing it again.

my round with my friend was very good n happy

All condition of Course was excellent except the pace of play . Pace of play was a little bit lose n slow .Plz take this into consideration in the future

Course was in the best condition yet this year. Greens in excellent shape!

Good course that I've wanting to play for quite some time.. The front nine is narrow and you have to have precise shots, but the back nine is fairly wide open. The course has a mix up challenging holes and water coming into play or nearby on a fair amount of holes. Some par 4's are short enough that birdie is possible if played correctly. A couple short doglegs. I was amazed that even though we waiting on the threesome in front of us and our group being a threesome, we were able to play the course in 3 1/2 hrs. Nice course but if you don't find a Golf Now deal, can be a little pricey. I would suggest playing during the week. All and it was a good round and a good course.

Fairways not in good shape. Group ahead of us was painfully slow, needed a ranger to tell them to speed up.

I play Deerfield regularly and always enjoy it... Pace of play can get slow though. Course is always well maintained and staff is very friendly. Range is outstanding.

the pace of play was terrible, over 5hrs round!!!

Good course for the value but league play overlapped with tee times. The front desk happily took my money but starter had to fit me in. The course was super slow. I advise you to call and ask if there’s League play.

The Good: Chicago North Shore course is in really good shape for a park district facility. Edward L. Packard design is solid with many good Par 4's and some very interesting green complexes. Par 5's are long and very challenging, yet fun. The greens are in tip-top shape for a public course. Clubhouse has a nice outing/banquet area and a decent pro shop. Practice facility is serviceable. Staff is friendly and does its best to keep pace of play going. GPS on carts is a nice touch!

The Bad: Fairways don't hold water well and flood when rain is excessive. Poor yardage markers if you are a walker. Pace of play is an issue but staff was doing as good a job as possible when I played in an outing recently. Par 3's are forgettable and not overly interesting. Overpriced at $75+ during summer weekend peak season.

The Verdict: Deerfield is a good North Shore option with good shot variety if you don't mind a longer round. Nothing flashy, yet fun nonetheless.

Best Hole: The long Par 4 7th hole is a tough, dogleg left around a pond and guarded by multiple sand traps.

Great course - course is in great condition and greens roll true.

This course has the best taken care of greens in the Chicagoland area. It always has recent green conditions manicured. I love the front 9 with many challenging holes. Also, the carts are new with access for you to bring your own phone cord to charge your phone so even when playing golf your can do work emails and calls. It’s one of my favorite golf courses and will continue to recommend and play golf often. Also, all the staff from management to starters are so friendly and helpful! Thank you!!

Course was in good condition. Rain night before so soft in some spots. Greens were good not great. Pace was a little slow 4:35 round. Overall nice place, good layout and the best practice facility in the area. Recommend for sure.

I will preface this review by stating that my buddies and I have played DF Golf Club at least ten times between last season and the beginning of this season. We typically book our reservations through GolfNow, for both good rates and convenience. Yesterday we caught rain during our first nine holes but continued to play, as it was tolerable. At the turn, our group decided that we would attempt to play hole 10. We all proceeded with our tee shots, and as we moved down the fairway the weather had progressively gotten worse, so we picked up our balls before finishing the hole to turn around. Once we got back to the Pro Shop, we attempted to explain our situation to the attendant, who refused any form of credit for holes that were unplayed. Although GolfNow had this listed as an 18 hole rate, Deerfield had it listed as a twilight rate, and this was the reason for their refusal. While this discrepancy can be understood because of third-party booking, the lack of customer care was compounded by the horrible pace of play (the usual here), and no regard from the pro shop attendant. The impression left on us that they could care less about our concerns, and that makes me not want to spend my money here again; Lake County has plenty of good golf.
