Greens on Deer Run are a disgrace.

The greens are the worst. The first hole green (deer run) is absolutely brutal and the rest are barely much better. This is the second winter out of three winters that the greens have been in terrible condition. Think twice before playing here.

Great family course

⛳️ Course Review: Sun n’ Lake Golf Club: Deer Run Course 🏌️‍♂️
 
I recently had the opportunity to play at the Deer Run Course at Sun n’ Lake Golf Club, and I’m excited to share my thoughts on this unique golfing experience. The blend of excellent practice facilities and a thought-provoking course layout makes for a memorable day on the greens.
 
Pre-Round Perfection
Before teeing off, I was impressed by the comprehensive practice amenities. With dual putting greens, chipping areas, and a spacious driving range offering both mats and grass, Sun n’ Lake caters to all aspects of warming up and skill refinement. It’s these thoughtful facilities that get you in the right mindset for the round ahead.
 
Strategic Gameplay Awaits
The layout of Deer Run stands out for its emphasis on strategic play. Opting for 3-woods and hybrids over the driver, You must navigate the course with precision, aiming for optimal positions to approach the greens. This layout encourages a more thought out game plan, where placement trumps power.
 
Course Condition Insights
The course is well-maintained, showcasing lush fairways and tees. While the greens are playable, there’s room for improvement to match the excellence found elsewhere on the course. Fortunately, strategic flag placements minimize any impact, allowing for enjoyable play throughout.
 
Signature Moments
The 18th hole deserves a special mention as Deer Run’s signature challenge. An island green par 3, it demands accuracy and nerves, providing a thrilling conclusion with the clubhouse as a backdrop. A wonderful hole of golf to end your round on.
 
Culinary Delights
A visit to the clubhouse restaurant is a must, particularly for their Philly Cheesesteak—it’s a culinary highlight not to be missed and adds another layer of enjoyment to the day.
 
Final Thoughts
With a slight focus on enhancing the greens, Deer Run has the potential to be a standout course. Its engaging layout and challenges make it highly recommendable for those seeking a game that tests both skill and strategy.
 
Overall a great day! @sunnlakegolf

Florida's best

This course has a fantastic layout, great tee boxes, plush fairways and greens. Great price. Since visiting Florida I have paid much more for public courses I would not even consider playing back home in ohio. I will play this course every time I visit florida

The course is in very nice shape except for the greens which have some sort of disease problem. I played in a group with three members who said the greens are all be replaced in the summer of 2024.

Terrible greens

The greens were the worst of 6 courses I played in the area. The woman in the pro shop wasn’t very helpful. Great restaurant.

Fun but slow

The course was fun but the pace of play was extremely slow. Had to wait on every shot. Too many golfers packed together.
