Deer Creek Golf Club

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.

Deer Creek is a nice course with a good layout.

Greens are good and fairways are wide

This course has a starter but no ranger so pace of play becomes an issue in nice weather about 4 1/2 hours to slow for me. But when it’s cool or weekdays this course is open.

Great condition for mid February, like the layout.

Place was in amazing shape considering the time of year and they gave us a good price. Will be returning!

I've been here probably 8 to 10 times just because I live close. Nice course for the money, but very slow play. On the weekend you will be waiting on every hole. Booked a tee time, and was still waiting at least 20 minutes past my tee time to tee off. Took us about 5 hours to finish the round with no breaks and hitting as soon as it was safe. Have a hard time finishing this course in time if you go in the afternoon. It's not uncommon to see people leave after their first nine holes because they get tired of waiting. Seen it many times.

Deer Creek is a great value for the money. This course is in top condition from tee to green on every hole. The greens are excellent and roll true. These green are better then most public courses and some private courses. This course is open year round barring snow. Even in winter these green are better then some courses are in mid season. The course has five sets of tees that should accommodate golfers of all levels. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. Many golfers travel from all over Chicago and Northwest Indiana to take advantage of this course.

Pace of play was good. The only problem I see at the course is lazy people not fixing their divots on the fairways, and not fixing their ball marks on the greens.
