First Time Playing

Deer Creek

Yeah it was great weather day on Memorial Day weekend but the pace of play was sooooo slow. Seriously 20 minutes a hole. Ranger needs to do a better job of keeping people moving.

Best part was the bartender. She was very friendly fast and helpful. Not to mention gorgeous. I’d go back just to see her again.

Great course and great value

The only thing stopping me from giving the course 5 stars across the board is some of the sand traps need work. Otherwise it’s a great place to play and I’ll be back.

Slow play

Played there three times. Twice got stuck behind slow players. First slow time the players would not let us through. Second time the ranger had to make them let us through. Otherwise the place is great.

First Time Playing

Deer Creek

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.

Needs tlc

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.

challenging enough for anyone

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 !!
