Crowded

Good course. Kept in good condition. I've played the course a number of times and more often than not it is jam packed. Pace of play is very slow.

First Time Playing

Great course for the price

The course was in good condition. Some of the bunkers were unkept, making it difficult to even play out of. The tees, fairways and greens were in fairly good condition, some of the normal problem areas but good as a whole. Course is not super difficult but can be challenging if not keeping the ball in play.

A good "golf dollar" value

I have played this course a lot in the last ten years...love the layout...and there are plenty of challenging holes, and holes you can score on. It just needs some care to smooth out some rough edges, particulary bunkers that at least need power raking....

Great course for the Money !!!!

Hard to beat this course for the money. They take very good care of the course. Only thing I don't like about it is they have WAY to many tiger woods wanna be's and it slows everybody down

Management Doesn't Care, Why Should You

Played here on a Saturday afternoon. The course had a scramble going on that went off sometime late in the morning. The guys playing in the scramble were a total joke. Drunk, loud, not keeping pace, driving the carts over the greens, pretty much doing whatever they wanted. For the final 4 holes, this scramble had 12 guys playing the same hole. Never seen anything like it.

The worst part though is that the course did nothing. And, they knew about the problems. Both the ranger and the cart guy drove pass on numerous occasions and saw what was going on. Did they do or say anything, of course not. When I finished and talked with the pro shop, they claimed to know nothing. What a joke.

I realize that the scramble brought in good cash for the club, but you can't allow a group to become a detriment to the course and the other customers. Too bad, as this is a nice course and a good value.

Good value

Played early Saturday afternoon after booking a great deal on Golfnow.com. Course in good shape but some bunkers were holding water. Great value with the Golfnow deal. We didnt spend much time in the clubhouse to give a fair review of it.

A good place to restart my game

Deer Creek is the site of my return to the game after illness caused a 2+ year hiatus. A pleasant layout...not overly ambitious but with enough of a challenge exposing most of the issues one faces. I've been back three times, determined to master their quick greens and quirky par-3s. Wish me luck...or improved skill.

Great Course For Money

Have never been disappointed with the course. Always have good prices and friendly staff. Always seem to be able to get a tee time. Range isn't the greatest, has big chipping and putting green. Overall great bang for the buck.

disappointed in time

although we were told the course was open when we checked in there was an outing in front of us Andorra took an unusually long amount of time to complete nine holes. we ended up leaving after nine. we should have been informed of the outing before we begin to play.

Course will test all aspects of your game.

The property itself is not fancy, but the course is a good layout with enough character to keep you guessing on club selection.

Great value......highly recommended

Played this course on a perfect fall day. Played from the tips, and was very challenging. Greens were well trapped and in great shape. Never played this course before, thinking it was too far out. It is not. Just a short drive south on western from the south subs. Will play this course again. Using golf now, this is hands down the best value around.

This is a long challenging course

Great course, I love the layout very challenging. Greens are large and normally in great shape, they keep it watered and grass green. Only complaint is the bunkers, which lack upkeep, lots of little rocks and rough gravely sand which will damage club grooves (I play it safe and drop on the line the ball entered the sand) not worth ruining your wedged. The course is pretty open which helps wondering tee shots, but still a big test from the tips. I would recommend this course just dont play out of the bunkers.

Deer Creek - A Nice Surprise

I didn't even know this course existed until I found it on GolfNow. It is well maintained, the staff is exceptionally nice, and the pace of play was enjoyable. For a hacker like me, it wasn't overly difficult that would make it frustrating, and it had just enough challenging holes to make it interesting, Had so much fun, went back a second time.
