Deer Creek

My son and I had an enjoyable round of golf at this course. The facility was in good condition and staffed with friendly people. The course was in good condition. My only complaint was some of the traps were hard and in need of more sand. Overall, a challenging layout and a good value.

Course Good Management Needs Improvement

The course was decent however the management (Ken McCormick) needs improvement. I found a great offer through GolfNow for $20. Deer Creek wanted $29. I had a tee time for 12:07p.m., and arrived at the golf course at 11:45a.m. I attempted to check in and the person behind the desk told me since I book my tee time online, I had to wait for 12:00p.m. to check in and get a cart. I asked him was he kidding and he advised me No! He said he just work here and I read in between the lines. That put me in an indifferent mood and it affected my golf game. Golf is mental. Management - don't be mad at the golfer who found a better deal online than what you are asking at the golf course. If you don't like it then don't participate!

well maintained

course was in great shape even though we have had very little rain the only thing that needs to be done is to power rake the traps every couple of days. the bartender is out of this world in case you need another reason to visit this course.

Golfers need to fix thier divots

The only big complaint that I have about this facility is the greens were full of divots. My playing partner and I fixed at least 5 divots on every green. The course is a fun layout with many doglegs. The par 3's are all challenging.

Bit humid but for $10 for a course in nice condition can't complain

Started off playing bogey or better golf finished around 100 but not because of the course. Humidity was on the rise for the back nine but for the price it was great to be out there. We set our own pace and while it was a bit slower than we could have played we were paired up with another couple of golfers so we were 4 and let a single go through which put us back a bit but we didn't really care too much. Course could add a beverage person a bit earlier in the day but the one we got was great to look at and nice as well. Course is showing some signs of use and abuse this time of year and those playing could be nicer to the greens but the fairways and most of the greens were in very good shape and the tee boxes pristine for a public course with such low prices. Will be back again as long as they keep up the job they are doing.

Deer Creek

Great course at a great price! Most local courses had a much higher price for July 4, 2014.

For a hacker for me this was an enjoyable course to play.

Wet but playable

Due to a recent storm, it was cart path only. People were friendly and all things considered, course was not too bad. Deer Creek is a course I try to play every year.

Nice enough course

The course was nice, don't think they like golf now players. Told us when we got to course at 1:50 for a 2:07 tee off time that we can't get our cart keys until 2oclock because they didn't want us to run out and start golfing to early. Then we were told the twosome we were playing with(we didn't know ) had not checked in yet that we would have to wait for them ?They were late we did not wait course was getting crowded very disorganized , tho the price was right

Nice Course

Visiting from out of town. Played on Father's Day Sunday. Was a bit slow to get started and had to wait quite a bit, but still had a good time. Course was in great shape from fairways to greens. Would definitely play there again.

Best course conditions all year slow play continues

This was the best maintained course (tees, greens and fairways) that I've played so far this year. Tees and greens were soft full and sponge like. Greens didn't roll true at all some looked like they would run 6 feet and the ball barely rolled three. Too soft maybe but they looked pretty and didn't have much effect on play. Layout wasn't too difficult other than the reads on the greens and the interesting lies in the rough. Some rough was lush and thick as thieves and others were bare with tree roots. Guess it depended on the hole and how close to a sprinkler the grass got. Pace of play needs to be picked up a bit as hit and then wait for three minutes with a group right behind you also waiting needs to stop. Let's bring the tradition of the Old course over the pond. Handicap cards anyone?

Course has many different challenging holes

I've probably played this course 15 times, and this is probably the 5th time it has taken over 5 hours to play 18 holes. There was a 20 person outing scheduled to tee off right before our tee time. It would have been nice if we had been told this prior to scheduling our tee time. I probably won't return in the near future for another 5-6 hour round. A nice course, but not worth the effort.
