AFTER A STORM

We had booked a tee time that wound up being about 5 groups after the course started letting out golfers after a morning of serious downpours that included having the edens expressway just about impassable for several hours. That said, the drainage was almost amazing as there was very little standing water anyway except in a few bunkers and the carts were not limited to the cart paths. The course played fast and we finished as a twosome behind a foursome in less than 4 hours. It turned out to be a great morning of golf.

Great value

The GN discount was fantastic. Course was in great shape and challenging. Thought the ranger was rude! Seemed to have an attitude. Pro shop and starter were friendly and efficient. Nice course!

Worst round ever

We only played 15 holes. There were 4 groups when we arrived at the 16th. There were 3 groups at 13 and this occurred at least once on the front 9. We were at 4 hours when arriving at 16 and passed 2 groups at the turn. At 9 minute tee times that amounts to a loss of 1 hour and nearly a 6 hour round if we were to continue. Not one ranger all day. PATHETIC.

Deerfield June 2016

Course was in immaculate condition - the ranger said there was an amateur tournament coming up soon there, and it will a good test for them. Firm and quick greens, lots of run on fairways and greens. Tough but very fair. With a hot deal on golfnow a great value for the rate.

Walked

Played in 38F, Felt like 28F

First time out this season at Deerfield GC. Think everyone must have been home watching The Masters. The course was empty. $20 to walk the course. It was upper 30's but definitely felt like upper 20's. Make sure bundle up.

The course was in excellent condition. The entire course was free of debris and leaves. The tee to green was incredible despite the cold and snow we've had past few days.

The greens rolled true and fast. Played under 3 hours.

It's ridiculous that a park district course will charge $75 for the weekend even after the greens have been aerated and sanded. It's a good course but doesn't compare with Thunderhawk or Stonewall Orchard. Deerfield Park District is price gouging! Will never play or even recommend to anyone to play here for $75. Wait for the weekday and hot deals and play for what's really worth $25 - $35.

True greens

Played this course on 12-12-15. Course conditions were excellent for that time of the year. Playing from the back tees proved to be a very good test of skill. Try it, you'll like it.

Sloped Greens Very Quick.

Staff and practice areas are excellent. Course makes good use of limited space along tollway, but too many holes look the same. Greens are very well maintained and challenging - fast, sloped, tough to read, some killer pin placements, so approach shots must be carefully planned. Tees and fairways very good. Scorecard yardages and cart GPS are accurate. Pace of play very slow, close to 5 hours, without any rangers moving along slow/poor players. Overall, a good course and will play one more time to see if pace of play is better..

Great Course- terribly slow

This course is in great shape.(18th hole has temp green). The pace is awful. It is a very nice course however, It is one of the slower courses to play. I guess with great rates come overbooked tee times. We actually tried to play the front nine twice to get 18 holes. As the 10th hole was backed up with 2-3 foursomes (same as the start)Bummer as I shot a great score on front nine and I generally do better on the back. After getting in 6 holes the second time around frustration set in and we called it a day.

long and tight

challenging course.,long and tough.Some tight tee shots with trees, water, and o.b.The greens are huge.and fast with undulations.It's easy to waste plenty of shots on the greens.I thought the course was sy due to the tollway,home construction,and workers.It was easy focus.
