A favorite.

Season just beginning here in Chicagoland so grounds crews doing minimal grooming. Nevertheless in solid shape, especially the fairways.

Staff great. Course solid. Fun experience.

SLOW!

The day we played (Friday after Thanksgiving), the course was crowded. Now, this was by no means the course's fault, as we were informed there had been an earlier frost delay that backed everything up. At the turn, we decided to play the front 9 again due to the back 9 loaded with carts. Course was in very nice shape for this time of year.

Great Day Golf in Early November

Turned out to be a great day of golf for the 2nd week of November. Course was in great shape, greens true,

despite wetness, lower 40's, light winds. Deer Creek is a great value, always in good shape& delivers a good challenge.

My home course

This course is a great place to challenge your game. There are numerous holes that make you adapt good course management to traverse the terrain. The people who work there are very friendly, and helpful. Would recommend this course to anyone looking for a good round of golf at a great price.

Deer Creek - A Nicely maintained Course

It is always a pleasure to golf here. The course conditions are consistently in good shape. You have sand traps and a few water holes to keep you honest. The 18th hole is always one that gets me as you have a long pond in front and blind to the green. It is a strong poke to clear the water, but I haven't seen anyone successfully clear it. It is a 80 degree right turn to the green. If you try and go left of the water and hit the fairway there is a steep slant right that takes your ball into the water . . . so stay as far left as you can without hitting the sandtrap.

Good play

There are not a lot of holes that stand out as unique or super challenging, but everything was well maintained, pace of play was good until the back nine when we ran into 2 twosomes not pairing up for some reason. It was a perfect day and I enjoyed my day.

Deer Creek - Always in good shape

I have golfed here a number of times and the course conditions are always good. No complaints anytime I have golfed here. I always go alone but have always been paired with other nice golfers like myself. The course is generally reasonably priced so it will not break the bank. I think you will come here regularly for good playing conditions at a reasonable price to boot.

Good greens

Greens are all ways nice

Course can hold to much water after storms

Traps get very crusty

Lost hundreds of trees the last few years

Fairways are very nice

You need you A game from the blues to break 80

You need your head examined from the tips

Even with the trees gone 6900 plus is still long
