Great Sunday morning
Overall the course is great.
Only gripe was the jammed tee times. We were 10:00 and the group behind us was 10:05. Lots of waiting for their group in front with the group behind hitting up to you.

Deer Creek
I played Deer Creek Golf Course on August 13th with three other friends. This is the first time I have played this course in over 20 years, and I remember very little of the layout. The course was in phenomenal shape. Due to the heavy rains the day before the course was “rough only” and the bunkers had water in them. But we knew that would probably be the case and it did not distract from the course. The course has a nice mix of doglegs. The greens rolled very true. The pro shop / bartender lady was fantastic. If there was a “downside” they should institute some sort of shirt code requiring sleeves. Also, there was one guy playing without a shirt on. Overall, I will definitely go back if I have the chance.
