Nice course

The course was in very good condition - greens medium fast and rolled true, some ball marks but that's due to other golfers. Fairways and bunkers in good shape and rough challenging but not unfair. The layout has a nice mix of holes and lengths, no blind shots. Pace of play was good for a busy weekday at noon - we waited a little but still finished in just under 4 hours. Very good practice area.

Very unfriendly staff

Was waiting to tee off on the first hole when the ranger (Dennis) came and yelled at me (solo player) for not teeing off yet when there was a foursome 200 yards in the fairway.

Deerfield

Deerfields municipal golf course is a wonderful place to play at a convenient location. It has multiple sets up to use for all levels and the greens were in wonderful condition. I recommended playing at Deerfield.

Has seen better days

This has been a nice course for many years however now it’s not in the best shape I’ve seen it. Tee boxes in many spots uneven and poor grass quality. Some tight spots where holes back up to each other, look out :)

A good option for sure, but surrounding courses seem to be in better shape.

Don't Miss This Gem in Lake County

It was a perfect day. High blue sky and no wind.

Course was in immaculate shape.

A couple of tee boxes were a tad worn.

Bunkers were semi-firm.

Greens were running.

An old style parkland course.

Not much elevation.

You could tell the staff liked being there.

Friendly as heck.

Staff liked to talk golf.

Tee Time start time regimented.

The Book was full.

Pacing was great.

We plan on playing there again.

"Somewhat challenging" is a rating misnomer.

Plenty challenging for the tee boxes we played.

Will do it again.

Thank You to all the staff at Deerfield.

Fun course, great value

Deerfield has a good practice area and is kept in great condition. It plays fair, with a combination of wide and tight landing spaces.

We played the day after 3.5" of rain and the course was in great shape other than the bunkers; Cart path only, but it was not swampy other than a few limited areas.

Watch out on 10 for balls flying in from the range if you are on the left side.
