Deerfield Golf Club

Liked the layout and the staff. Tight in spots and rewards accurate driving. Some doglegs that require clubbing down to avoid driving through the fairways. Right next to the Tristate Tollway, so can get a little noisy. Would definitely play it again.

on a windy September day in Chicago, deerfield was in wonderful shape. greens, fairways and tee-boxes were far superior than other local munis. sand traps also have been very much improved. Overall, the experience was great and played with another single who was of equal skill to myself.

Also with the money saved through GolfNow was able to buy a shirt in pro shop at 30 % off

Great course. Greens are in excellent condition for a municipal course. The practice area was impressive also - grass range, short game area, and multiple putting greens.

The course is in great shape, particularly the greens. We played in 3 1/2 hours, even though it was cart-path-only. The only down side to the course is that some holes run along the toll-way, so you get some noise from that which disturbs the otherwise tranquil ambience.

Average course challenge, need better signage, any developing areas should be completely block out from the course. Some holes run alongside each other on opposite direction and some cart path runs into the neighborhood.

I have wanted to play this course for a long time and finally had the opportunity to. Course itself is in good shape. Fairways are regularly cut rough is in good shape as well, barely any leaves. Traps overall are maintained although there were a few with standing rain water in them. Greens are also in good shape. They were slow in the morning but sped up as the sun dried them out. Tuesday must be a mowing day as there were machines on every hole on the front nine. Not exactly ideal when trying to concentrate on your shot and have to worry about possibly hitting the grounds keeper.

My only gripe was the pace of play. We waited on every single shot for 18 holes. The group in front of us was slow as could be and had no regard for the players behind them. At one point there were three foursomes backed up behind us. The ranger was nowhere to be found. Overall what should have been easily under a four hour round took almost five hours.

We have all been stuck behind slow groups and for those of us that play consistently it can be very frustrating but we take it with a grain of salt I guess. Overall I would play here again and hope the rangers are more effective in keeping the pace of play ontime.

Last minute decision to play here & it was well worth it! Course was in great shape. The whole Riverwoods area is very cool in my opinion - talk about some beautiful homes! From the gold tees, there is enough length to give you a challenge (especially on the Par 3's). Water comes into play on a few holes. Sand traps were well maintained. As were the undulating greens, which I found to be decently challenging. Bonus points for the GPS carts! All in all, I really enjoyed Deerfield and hope to return soon.

This was a great course for the money. Well-maintained and everything was in excellent shape.

A muni track nothing more nothing less. Pace of play was horrendous. I went there hoping for a quick round on (tuesay 10am) and what I got was the exact opposite. It took 2.5 hours to finish nine i left at the 14th hole 4+ hours after I started. I waited on almost every single shot. The group in front was patenting their own tee rituals. Not only did they take an awful lot of practice swings before the actual shot but also after the shot as well. the course was packed. In no way would I pay their regular tee time price tag. I got a golfnow deal but even then I was regretting not dishing out extra to play another course. It was recommended by a friend and it will be the last last time I take his advice. If u do catch it at a non busy day it might be a nice track but even then it's a no frills golf track. Greens and fairways were in good shape but after the 3rd hole u were too annoyed to notice.. Highways on the outskirts of the course give it a buzzing noise throughout most of the holes.

Got matched up with 2 other golfers, great group. Pace was good, green's were true, and we played in 4 hours on a late Sunday morning. No complaints, and a great value.

Got a spur of the moment tee time. Course fairly narrow, which was the challenge. Rough was thick and lush, difficult at times. Green were beautiful, medium fast and true. Bunkers also in great shape. Overall great course condition. Slow medium slow pace of play.

Deerfield is in great condition and the pace of play is wonderful in the morning. I live in the city and getting here in 25 mins in the morning and getting home reasonably is key for me. The course plays in 4 hours or less.
The greens are large, but in great condition and roll a little on the quick side.
I love this test of golf. It has holes that goes right and holes that goes left. A mis hit will penalize you. This course has everything I look for.

Good layout, variety, condition. Course was in good shape especially for mid summer. Fairly fast greens. Played under 4.5 hr round with no one in front, which is apparently slow for this course. I was paired with a single and two-some. One of the twosome duffed repeated t-shots using irons off par 5s, and yet his buddy, a regular, kept making rushed comments to me. I actually told him I was going to use the bathroom at the turn when he kept asking what I was up to. Marshal barked in a rage about slow play, even though he passed us a few times without a warning or even stopping on previous passes. Mentioned the group behind us was complaining. They were barely keeping up with us and when we sped up a little they fell way back. In short, a lot of complaining from people who are themselves the problem. I will give it another try b/c it is a pretty lovely course (although butted up against the expressway for a few holes.) Hopefully next time I will find people out to relax and challenge and enjoy themselves, not get out their frustrations. Nothing worse than hearing grown men whine.

Love this course! Beautiful trees and landscaping, friendly people, great conditions and layout. Only downside, wish they would put in a snack bar to grab a hot dog between 9th and 10th holes.

Deerfield Golf is a terrific course and in excellent condition. I do think the greens could made faster. My biggest complaint is the pace of play. Though a single, I was grouped with a single walker and pair of college grads (one could hit the ball a mile and in play). We all played at a good pace and kept up with the very slow walking foursome ahead of us. (No putt was given away by these guys.) Ahead of them was an extremely slow, elderly twosome that was holding that group up. We finally skipped 13 and jumped past the elderly twosome and played the final holes in about 35 minutes. I think a marshal could have mitigated this knot of golfers as we proceeded around the course. I generally don't like to report other golfers...but here was an extreme case that should have been dealt with. Our round ended up being about 4 hour 20 minutes. Had we not skipped and played through...it would definitely exceeded 5 hours. Too long for a round of golf.

Don't play this course on the weekend. Pace of play was terrible with 2 groups on 1 tee with a 3 hole gap several groups ahead of me. I called for a ranger but never got one. If the ranger did his/her jjob, we could have played faster. It was like the golf staff just didn't care. Very disappointing

Resort styled. Great conditions. Perfect greens for a public course. Great practice facility and staff.

We golfed on a beautiful afternoon on a weekday and the course wasn't too crowded and was very well staffed. It was in great condition for this time of year, only small complaint about the course was that a few holes bordered the highway and were noisy as a result. Small complaint though in perspective, because the course is challenging with lots of water on the front and good distances to choose from with 5 separate tee boxes on many holes. Overall great experience, will definitely look for weekday afternoon deals to come back.

Classic course with classy people both on and off the course. Greens rolled true, bunkers were soft and tee boxes were flat and well manicured. Will definitely be back for another challenge.

Great conditions. Manicured fairways fast greens friendly staff. Very enjoyable round
