Deerfield Friday Midday

In trying to get out and play different courses over the summer, I was pleased to take advantage of a late booking for a Friday. The course provided some nice variation with good layouts. The greens were a little rough on some outer edges,,but overall were nice with decent pace and slope. The sand trap I was in was spotty and not well raked.

Overall though a good choice to play and will again. What looked very good but I didn't get time to use was their practice area. That for sure I will use to work on pitching and shorts game.

Overall a good course to play

Had some challenging holes, pace was good, some fairways to close to each other causing some delays and confusion

Great bang for the buck

Course is well maintained. Friendly staff. Rangers keeping rounds at 4 hours. Easy to find balls in the rough- the first time I played 18 with a single ball was here. Good bang for the buck. Nice carts with GPS. Ball cleaners at every hole. Overall it’s an excellent course with nice facilities.

Had a good time!

Deerfield was a nice round for our group. The greens are well kept and the course layout is forgiving. Tough pin placements made it a challenging day. Will go back!
