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.

South suburban gem

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.

Good course, but better options nearby

It’s a typical track. Decent layout. Blue/ryegrass everywhere but greens so fairway lies can be iffy. Got a jumper a few times in middle of fairway. Greens little slow but rolled true. Worth a play but there are better ones not too far from deer creek

Great Value & Course for the Price! Hidden Gem in the Far South Burbs

It's hard to beat this course at $27-35 with a cart. Walking up you should understand you're not necessarily getting a 5 star course, but for the cost and the course playing conditions you'll get a Deer Creek, it's a solid 4 stars and a course that I would highly recommend to any golfers looking for a fairly priced course out south.

I have played here roughly 5 times now and the one thing that is always consistent is how flat, true and well maintained the greens are. This is something I personally find hard to find at many courses I play here in IL...In addition, fairways are always plush and mowed nicely. It's not "resort style", high end fairway; but again, for the price, it can't be beat. The only negative that I can think of would be that some of the traps are a little low on sand; some are almost hard pan. But, most are playable and not dirt hard pan.

Overall course layout is fun and challenging. There isn't a ton of water, but there is enough in all the right places to make it interesting. There isn't a ton of trouble to contend with, fairways are wide and many trees are small/saplings that don't impede shots into greens. If you tend to spray the ball around you can find hazards & OB but generally can still recover.

Last, but not least, I want to give a nod to the staff at the course. Always friendly when I have been out there, decent bar menu and drinks with very fair pricing.

When we played yesterday, they made an honest mistake quoting us about a league going off before we made the turn and when we came in to grab a drink asked about it and they gave us a free drink for the inconvenience...totally not necessary, but appreciated! Great little place in the south burbs - give it a try - you won't be disappointed.

Nice day; decent course; good conditions

Beautiful day in May. Course is a decent track, a handful of interesting holes; but mostly basic layout. Conditions pretty good - especially nice, although fast greens. Impressed with the sand traps - real sand and well-groomed. Pace OK, especially good on first 6 holes, then our twosome got stuck behind a couple foursomes - but they weren’t terribly slow so finished in just under 4 hours on weekday. $5 hot dog, chips and soda special at the turn. Will definitely play again. Good value for the HotDeal price.
