Deer Creek Golf Club

This course is challenging and always in good shape with well tended greens

I consider Deer Creek my home course. It is a course that provides you with enough trouble to keep your attention on the course. Like all courses, if you keep it in the fairway, you will have a great score.

Considering that we played in the middle of December in Illinois, less than 2 weeks after getting 4-6"s of snow, the course was in really good shape! I was very surprised and quite impressed by how well the fairways and especially the greens had held up. The bunkers were unplayable, but, thats to be expected. Pace of play was slow, but, I am sure that everyone else had the same thoughts we did - 50 degree day in the middle of December - gotta hit the course! I'm sure there won't be many opportunities left for us to get out and play for many, many months. So, all that being said, we could not have been happier! Thanks Deer Creek, hope to see ya again soon!

Great value and challenging course. Enjoyed the round & Will be back.

One of the best values on the south side. Typically some of the best public greens around fairways all always good. Course plays longer than the yardage. Has the best 4 finishing holes of any course around. Some people have issues with the bunkers but I personally like them as I prefer firmer bunkers.
If it's recently rained the course will be wet but rarely unplayable but it does drain better than most courses except the bunkers. Overall it's probably the best value around. This course has many leagues and sometimes the pace suffers because of it but usually pace is pretty standard.

fast greens are just one challenges, there's a task to each hole from tee to green

Pace of play was ridiculous. Will not go back. It should never take 48 minutes to play 3 holes. No ranger at all to help out.

WHY DO NOT COURSES TELL THEIR CUSTOMERS THAT ALL OF THEIR GREENS HAVE BEEN PUNCHED ON THAT DAYS' MORNING.
SIMPLY PUT A SIGN " GREENS HAVE JUST BEEN AIRATED" NO, AT DEER CREEK YOU PAY THRU GOLF NOW AT A NICE RATE ONLY GET ON THIS FIRST GREEN AND A THOUSAND HOLES IN THE GREEN.
RUINS A BEAUTIFUL FALL DAY COULD OF GONE SOMEWHERE ELSE. THESE GOLF NOW COURSES SHOULD INFORM THEIR PLAYERS OF THIS FACT NOT TO SURPRISING ON THE COURSE.

This course could be so much better with just a few tweeks.
1. Cut the rough evenly. Everytime I've played the course some sections of the rough on the same hole is cut while other sections are almost unplayable. It's as if the person mowing ignored that section.
2. Mostly every hole on the green has a crown.The person cutting the holes doesn't tap the hole once cut thus you get crowns.
3. Place real sand in the bunkers.
4. Place the tee boxes on an even surface instead of just randomly placing them after you mow.

I have not played this course in 10+ yrs but decided to play some of the old tracks. The course itself was in great condition and all seemed well to start. The front 9 took 3 hours. I complained at the turn and was told there was a league out in front of us (was told when we teed off that the course was wide open). On the back 9 I noticed that the league was playing in 5-somes. I called the pro-shop and they said they knew about the 5-somes and would not send a ranger out. I walked off after 15 holes (which took 5 1/4 hours to complete). WILL NOT COME BACK! THIS WAS A WED MORNING...NOT THE WEEKEND!

After 3 1/2 hours I left after playing the 11th hole,.

Deer Creek is a well maintained course. The fairways and greens are pristine. The staff are friendly and very courteous. Overall, a great place to play. Competitively priced. Would recommend this course to anyone.

First time at this course and was very happy with it

I have not played this course in over 15 years, and boy was I surprised. It has really grown up! It is now a beautiful lay out and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to play a course on the south side. I cannot say enough about the place...

We had a 11:30 got off at 11:50 finishing at 5:30. We told the pro shop at 9 that it took us 3hrs. they seemed uninterested. The back 9 consisted of a 5 some in front of us not sure how that happened. We never saw a ranger the entire time. The course is a nice layout and is in good shape its a shame they don't enforce a 4:15 max pace of play. Hope they fix this, golf is no fun when u constantly are taking practice swings to stay loose because of the long waits in between shots.

Expected to find holiday crowd and we did. Over a 5 hour round. No carts upon arrival. Rude patrons.

Staff was very honest and forthcoming. Just a mediocre feel to everything.

Played with my sons and my brother in law for father's day. The course has had a an unusual high amount of rain in the past week. This made play quite a bit soggy throughout the round. The course was in good condition otherwise. The only thing that we feel should have been done is that virtually all of the traps were submerged to the extent of 6" or more deep. We even lost a few ball in the traps. They should have went out early and pumped out the water from the traps.

Manager tried to high behind the fact a group of 60 were on the course!! Fast play rules clearly outlined in the golf cart! Had the whole course backed up! 2.75 hours for 9 holes!! Should have assigned a ranger to such a large group, to ensure GOOD pace!! Play at your own risk....obviously staff unable to manage FULL course! Nice layout, nice staff ....but it's all about getting a around of 18 in a decent amount of time!!

Fairways are manicured perfectly. Easy to hit to the greens.

For the price the course is very acceptable.. greens roll pretty good but the bunkers lack enough sand to play appropriate shots around the greens which leads to frustration with the overall experience!!
