Great course.

Came out on a Thursday, had a 3hr 30min round. Great course, big greens and lots of opportunities to score. Had two blowup holes and still shot a 94. Will be back for more.

Everything Good Except the Traps

Perfect weather, great price, fantastic fairways and greens. Traps were like concrete. Why? Please fix them so that I can rate this 5 stars.

SLOW PLAY

Course is fine. Greens great. Called the day before to see if they allowed fivesome. They said no. So we played 4. We waited on every tee. Had 4 groups on 4 waiting to tee off. We were followed by a group of six that actually kept up. Too slow…

Nice course but

The pace of play is ridiculously slow normally 12 minutes per hole turned into about 20-25 minutes per hole other than that it was a nice course.

Beautiful Course

Beautiful course, great layout and challenging. The only thing I wasn't happy with is they chose to run the sprinkler system while we played making it difficult to navigate around times. The wet grounds also gave little action to ballls hit in the fairways. Other than that I was pleased with the course.

Great Value on a nice course

For my money, Deer Creek offers the best value in the Chicago south suburbs. The only issue holding it down is the condition of the sand traps, which except for a few, is bad. Otherwise, from tee to green the course is well kept. Even the roughs are decent and trimmed. Decent layout and a few nice looking and interesting holes add to the course. Definitely worthwhile. Yes, there are better and more upscale courses (Balmoral, Ravisloe) down here, but Deer Creek is easily worth the price.

Oh Well

The staff is great, the course is great, the price is great,

They are a victim of their success!

The course is too busy, so the pace is slow.

What can you do?

Deer Creek golf course

Played course before liked the layout. Had to start at the back nine due to tourney going on at the course. When I made the turn front was backed up and was given a ranchers to come back and play. Very disappointed couldn't play 18.
