Deer Creek

Course in excellent shape since we haven’t had much rain in June. They water their fairways regularly. Some of the bunkers need attention, but you’re supposed to avoid those anyway,haha. Greens in great shape as well.

Local course

I play there regularly, and it's always in good condition. Greens roll good. Bunkers are ok, but need more attention. Recommend this course to anyone looking for a fun round.

Great Deal - Far from Chicago

We made the 40mile hike to Deer Creek to play this course. We were very hesitant due to the price and distance from the city. I am happy to report that it is a "Good" to "Average' course. With that being said, we got the weekday rate of $35, and it was really a steal. The course is actually in really good condition, with the Tee Boxes and Greens in really good condition. It's not an 'exciting' course and really far from the city.

Southside gem

The course was in good shape. Greens were rolling good. A few bunkers were void of any sand. Pace of play was good.

Southside gem

The course is in great shape. The greens were rolling good, but there were numerous ball marks that people failed to fix. I fix any ball mark I find on the greens as I play. Only takes a few seconds to fix a ball mark people. A few sand traps are still absent of sand, but the ones that do have sand aren't being raked by players, and there's rakes in the traps.

Hard Sand Traps - No notable sand

I always enjoy playing Deer Creek. Overal the course is well maintained. My lone complaint is no sand in the sand traps. They are barren, hard and cracked dried dirt.
