Deer Creek Golf Club

First time there and it was a good value for a weekend. The fairways and greens were in good shape. The only downside was the condition of the bunkers. They are in need of much attention. Pretty open layout, so great for higher handicappers. Just remember to yell FORE. Will definitely play it again.

Surprisingly, the fairways were not as pristine as last year. Also, the bunker sand was horrible in most of them. Some even had weeds growing. Hopefully this gets the attention that is needed. The layout is really challenging so, conditions need to improve. Greens were ok for this time of year.

One issue is some bunkers were perfect and others were horrible. I wish they would all be the same. It's hard to play out of hardpan bunkers !!

Course was in good shape this early. Only issue was a slow foursome in front of us. Waited on every hole after 7. Ranger drove by multiple times and did not speak to slow group. It was a chilly weekday round that should of been 3 hours or less and it took over 4.5 hours due to marathon back nine waits.

Very average course. Nothing memorable about the course. Tee boxes need work.

Everything about the course was excellent. The main thing I was amazed with was the shape the course was in. Fairways, greens, tee boxes, rough where all consisted throughout the whole course. I've played a lot of courses where the first couple of holes have the consistency of this course. Then the rest of the holes go down hill with the quality of upkeep. Truly amazed with Deer Creek. You don't get to hit off of quality fairways at many places like this. Great job to the staff. All around grade A place to play. Hidden gem.

The course was in good shape. The staff was friendly as always. The starter wasn't very efficient at getting golfers to tee off on time. The regular starter who has always worked the Saturday tee times wasn't there, and the older gentleman who was there, couldn't seem to get the golfers moving in a timely manner. Where is John at? Does he still work there? Pace of play was pretty slow as well.

My frist golfing for the season, average golf course, hope greens are faster and well maintained

I am a Deer Creek veteran having played this course since it opened in the 1970’s. Historically it has been a well maintained course with a friendly staff. The quality and smoothness of the greens on this course rival many of the both public and private courses that I have played. The tees and fairways are always in fine shape. The ground staff do an excellent job in keeping the course that way. The course layout is challenging for golfers of all abilities with five sets of tees to select from and the constant winds add to the course challenge. Deer Creek drains very efficiently. When most courses in the area are closed due to rain Deer Creek is generally open. Many first time visitors are surprised at the quality of the course and generally return many becoming regulars. This course is well worth the visit.

Deer Creek is always fun. It was very early in the season, so course conditions reflected this, but overall came thru the winter well.

Aside from the course being a bit wet, and carts on path only, the course was ok. It's still winter until March 21st, and having some days above freezing is a blessing to get out and play.

Deer Creek is a well maintained public golf course about fifteen miles south of Chicago. The golf rates are a bargain compared to many of the golf courses in the Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana area. It is an exciting track that caters to golfers of all levels with five sets of golf tees. The fairways drain faster then most courses in the region. When most courses are closed due to heavy rains Deer Creek is generally open although it might have cart path restrictions but the fairways and greens are playable. Deer Creek is also open year round for the hardy players. Deer Creek features some of the finest greens for a public course rivaling those of some private courses. During winter play the greens are better than some greens are during the summer season. The ground crew staff do an excellent job of also maintaining the tees and fairways as well. The course offers a limited food menu but the friendly bar staff offers many of the most popular alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages. The friendly pro shop staff will make every effort to satisfy your tee time reservation requirements. This course is a hidden gem that many first time visitors rave about and become regular visitors from far and wide.
