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.

Great Course

If you're an avid golfer and you want a good golf experience, not a hang out spot, but a good golf experience for the price, this is the place for you. The course is in great condition, challenging but fair, and the staff is respectful to everyone.

Hidden gem with value and challenge

I've played this course many times over the last 20 years, but took a 10 year hiatus due to poor course conditions. On this visit, you could visably see the effort the greenskeeper has made to turn this course around. For a high volume public course, the greens rolled true, the bunkers decently manicured, and a challenge to play. As a 8 hdcp, I look for a fair challenge and this course provides it especially from the tips. The final 4 holes force you to hit golf shots if you want to post a great score. Deer Creek is a hidden gem at a fair price in the south suburbs.

The only downfall is the pro shop and clubhouse. Not enough options and the bar is not inviting to keep you around after the round.

Only One Thing Wrong

It was a bit muddy, so our balls & clubs got dirty fast, but when I went to wash them there was no water in the washers. (most of them anyway). I think out of probably 5, we actually stopped long enuf to do so, only 1 had water in it.
I did like the course a lot tho; I think that was at least our 3Rd time playing there?
Thanx for asking,
Kathy

Great value.

This course charged half of what others nearby were charging to play golf on a Saturday morning. You get a lot of bang for your buck at this place. The closing three holes are a real challenge.

Deer Creek

Deer Creek is a very nice course in great shape for a good price. The only drawback is it is very far south in the Chicagoland area.

nice layout

Holes had some variety: uphill and down, left and right doglegs, occasional water left and right. Sandtraps were often on both sides of fairway near normal tee shot range.

Great course for the money!

Course was in pristine condition for being the middle of November, better than most courses in the middle of summer. I paid$10 for 18 holes with a cart! I would highly recommend this course!
