Battleground at Deer Park, The

The pace of play was great until we got in the back nine. It turns out there were two fivesomes that were holding up every group behind them.

Great course for the price. Greens were in great shape, fairways were good too. Some bad tee boxes but that was it. Very fun layout, scenic course in the woods, not many houses. Would definitely go back

While there are definitely improvements that can be made on this course but it is overall a great course for the money.

My only complaint is that the beverage and snack bar closes a little early.

No course marshaling, super slow play. Most tee boxes were sand traps themselves.

So I read recents reviews and we decided to give Battleground another chance. Well we chose wrong. Golfers call a bad course, “a goat ranch” and this course still fits this title. Whomever is running this course now, still can’t get it right. Years back we would have our Shell Golf tournament benefitting a local orphanage. The course was maintained and run by the city. Golfing Pro, Louis Gantz always did a nice job for us. The course was always pristine and well maintained. Water aeration and waterfall features WORKED! This course needs a lot of TLC. Every hole has something aesthetically wrong with it. Just poor maintenance, period. We also had two flats with the golf carts we were assigned. They brought us a replacement for the first one, we didn’t call for the second. We just “limped” in with the second one.To whomever is running Battleground, we wouldn’t return to your course even if you offered us free golf for a year! Simply unbelievable! The city of Deer Park should also be ashamed of itself for having such a nice layout go to waste.

Played a few rounds the last 2 years and has been difficult to watch this course go down so bad. However, gave it another chance and conditions were much better. Grass on the greens and fairways a sand in the bunkers. If you have not been in a while give it another chance as they have made improvements.

I use to play this course all the time years ago when I lived in the area. They started to let the course go, but lately they have been taking great care of it and it is starting to come back to what it once was! This course has a great layout, I hope they keep up the maintenance of this course.

Golf course needs drinking water coolers, as they have no beverage carts during the week.

When we teed off we knew we were in trouble. There was a 5some ahead of us who were not serious golfers. I quickly asked the Marshall to help us out. He mentioned to the group ahead to let us go through but they wouldn’t do it and the Marshall never came back to check.

Finally on hole 9 we had enough and skipped the hole and went to 10.

We wound up finishing at least 45 minutes ahead.

Marshall’s are there for a reason.

Wee we were unsure about playing here based on some recent reviews and after talking to people that had played there over the last couple of months. We were pleased to find out that they have made some improvements and I am sure that the recent rain has helped. There are was only a couple of greens that needed work and one fairway that had some big cracks in the ground. Overall it is worth the play, but play was very slow.

This was my first time at Battleground, and let me tell you I almost cancelled because the reviews were horrible. DON’T base your decision off the reviews. Yes some Tee boxes are rough and hard to place a tee, but uhm we havent had any rain in Texas in so long!! Out of the 18 holes about 3 greens were a little beat up, but fairways were great. This place is amazingly beautiful and the staff was great! I would definitely recommend and I will definitely be coming back soon!!

Great course layout going to waste because the course is in horrible shape and they don’t enforce pace of play. Waste of a saturday

Hole 6 was missing a flag stick. No water jugs on the course and it’s over 100 outside. I paid $20 for a 4 pm tee time and I think that’s a reasonable price. I wouldn’t pay more than $20 to play this course.

The course is a nice layout; however, the weather has made for uncomfortable compromises. They have decided to go with cart path only which makes the round even slower (AND letting 5somes play). We quit after it took 3 hours to play 9 holes. The course is not in the greatest shape. Fairways have cracks in them. The greens have huge dead spots and the greenest areas are weed infested. The staff is full of nice people; however, management is trying to make money yet not care about the user experience. I highly recommend playing elsewhere.
