Call ahead

We had a 1230 tee time and when we arrived at 12 we discovered they had a shotgun outing going off right in front us. This led to 6 holes taking nearly 3 hours! We ended up just skipping to 15 and played 15-18 but hit another log jam when got back to 1. We just left after only playing 1-6 and 15-18.

Average Course

The fairways and greens were in good shape for the most part. However, 1 green & 2 tee boxes had major damage. The bunkers were also hazards today due to the heavy rain as of late. They had deep puddles in them & were hard as a rock. Employees were friendly & let us tee of in front of a golf outing.

This course is well maintained and is a challenging layout. The greens are pristine, and the rough isn't too troublesome. I call this course my home course. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Reasonably priced.

Deer Creek - Greens are smooth as silk

This course does a superior job maintaining their greens. They are always smooth as silk. Today the sand traps were quite wet due to the heavy rains we have had. Some were still playable. I always enjoy this course and I am sure you would too.

Solid course

The course overall has become substantially easier from previous years due to the long over due cutting of trees. The course is in decent shape. Grad is cut to appropriate lengths the sand traps are maintained and have potential but the quality of the sand trap could be better with more refining of the trap and not letting it get hard. The greens role true people just need to fix their ball marks. Overall it’s a good course for the price.

One of the best values around

My friends and I always say the same thing about this course. We really like the course layout. Course is always well kept. Staff is great. Food and beverages are well priced and we always walk away feeling like we got a great deal playing the course. Our only complaint almost every time is how crowded the course is and how backed up it is on the first tee. It is regularly 4-6 carts deep of people waiting to tee off. You regularly wait every

hole. Still I'd rather play here and deal with the crowd and feel like I've had a good value for my round on a nice course.
