Deerfield Golf Club

Nice round. Will play here again. Not too many holes waiting for those ahead or folks creeping up our backside

I always enjoy playing this course, even if the weather conditions aren't perfect. And they weren't for about 1/3 of my round on Memorial Day. But there's always something very satisfying of hitting a good shot under less than ideal conditions. And if the shot isn't that good I can always blame it on the weather. Didn't have to do that yesterday - much.

It was my first visiting.
The course condition was really good in spite of morning rain.
I really enjoyed golf.

Very nice public course in great shape. Fairways cut perfectly, rough was challenging, traps were a little hard but able to get under the ball, greens were fairly quick. Don't read into a break as much as you think. The Superintendent is doing a fantastic job on this course. If you get the chance to play it, do so! Expect delays on food orders. A little slow in the kitchen.

I've played Deerfield a few times and find it to be a generally nice, well-kept course at good GolfNow rates (though the regular rates are WAY TOO HIGH).

Like a lot of courses, the front 9 is tight and strategic (both the par 5s really aren't driver holes if you hit it a decent length - brings too much trouble into play) whereas the back 9 is long and open. Worth noting that there's a couple holes where hitting it way left would seemingly equate to causing a 20-car pileup on I-294.

However in this instance there was a junior tournament ahead of us moving at approximately 50% pace. The last group was actually at least 1-2 holes behind but no one came out to speed them up. Thankfully I was able to double-up on the front-nine as opposed to dealing with a 3-hour long back-9 behind the Junior Tournament. However I feel like Deerfield should let all golfers know when something like this junior tournament is going on - if I would have known I would have taken a rain check on my round. The staff is generally friendly and likeable, however.

Course showed up on GolfNow. I played it 20 years ago in a group event before I learned how to play. Paired up with a really nice guy and we played from the senior tees. I had a cart included, but prefer to walk and it's a very walkable course. If it shows up as a special on GolfNow I won't hesitate to book it again.

This was my first time playing this course and for the first week of May the course was in excellent condition. Having played 7 courses this season, Deerfield Golf Club ranks at the top. Nice facility and very friendly staff.

Since the rates at this course far exceed its value I went onto GolfNow to get a better rate as I was supposed to play with other friends who had free coupons from another event. When all eight of us arrived we were told that the tee times were not booked under the person's name and they had been given to other groups. My reservation was fine, but I didn't play because all of my friends could not play either! Staff was not concerned, nor apologetic. The course is very nice but I would highly recommend anyone trying to book tee times in the future to either go directly through GolfNow or reconfirm any phone reservation they may make to be sure that it actually was booked before they drive long distances to play at Deerfield. There is no Head Pro so apparently there is no management there now. Too bad.

For early Spring the course is in good shape. Great way to start the golf season. Greens are full growth and fairways are filling in. Deerfield will be a great summer experience.

This is a nice course. The only problem we ran into was that there was a Junior Tournament on the course while we were out there. And, tournaments move at half the speed of a typical foursome.It was painfully slow.

I'd recommend for all level of players. Good course.

I love this course always. Some challenging holes here and there. Good features also here and there. Pretty ok courses.

I hadn't played here in a number of years. The course is better than I remember it. Challenging and scenic. A great value for the money. The pro shop and food staff were great and very accomodating.

I didn't know that 3 holes were temporiry green and very short distance. Oterwise course condition is great to me.

I will never go there as the temporary green was terrible and especially the staff, who said he was the manager, was horribly unprofessional.... If my friends ask about Deerfield golf course, I will not recommend...

Great practice area, friendly staff. Course in good condition, greens putted very nicely.

Disappointment in that 15-16-17 were all temporary greens(really temporary), could have been better setup or managed.

I don't need to say much. This course is beaten up, it will take you forever to play, and the staff friendliness is non existent. Don't go here.

Course is in great conditions. One of the best courses in the Chicago area!

Good course features: length, conditions, & speed of greens. Unfortunate that the GPS in cart was broken. Was actually told by starter that most of the GPS systems in carts were broken. Fix it!

This is how all public courses should be set up. Got in a good warmup before teeing off. All the practice amenities you need if you want to work on something before playing a round.
