Great fun but no beverages at all. No cart lady and that really put a huge damper on the day. I mean nothing!!!!

The fairways and greens were pretty good but from all the rain we had to deal with mud all over. I have always liked this course and even won a tournament in 2011 with the Golfweek amateur tour. It’s just a real nice quiet wooded course that has a fantastic layout but could not have been much better because of the 90’s then storms and more 90’s and more storms. I really take my hat off to the superintendent because he’s had his hands full this season. I’d go back again soon and have a blast.

Great management

We had a great ranger working the course hard. It could have been a disaster round; there was a group 1 hole behind after 3 holes, but he manged the situation and we played in 4 hours and 5 minutes.

Mature trees, well maintained and great staff - what's not to like.

Hard Course if you NOT hitting the ball In Fairway!!

Great, challenging course to play.. I love playing here but if you can’t hit the ball straight on this narrow course, you are going to be challenged! I was for the first 6 holes and then had a great game!!

Deerfield, excellent value challenging course good conditions.

Just like it says in the title unbeatable value. Challenging course. Nice layout nice conditions. Pace of play was quick. I've been there sometimes when it's slow you just never know what you're going to get.

Slow

Played on a Monday...paid for 18. Pace was 2 hours and 40 minutes for front 9. I bailed after 9, asked for a rain check for other 9. They said no. Asked for a supervisor and the attendant said to call golf now.

All good at Deerfield

Looked busy when we arrived, but teed off on time and played in about 4:20, normal for us older guys. I wish others would repair ball divots on the greens, I did at least one on every hole beyond any our group made.

Playing golf in a swimming pool

The fairways and rough were covered with water. The course should have been closed. A waste of a round of golf.

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
