Deer Creek North Course - Black Pearl

Played August 15 , had a member for the first 9 holes, however when I called day prior to see if I could add 1 person to my booking I was told by pro shop that the tee time was full.

Was surprised and a little ticked off to find out that my friend could of joined our group, as it was just myself and friend playing second 9 alone.

Place of play extremely slow, tee times either were not stretched enough or the marshal did not do a good job in speeding up the slow groups. Extremely frustrating

This was our first time plating at Deer Creek and we enjoyed our visit to Ruby and Diamond. Tight,, challenging and fair would be my assessment with an interesting mix of holes. Its not long, but hit it straight. Conditioning was first rate. Staff very helpful!. A great day, with super attention to covid protocols.

For a course charging $100+ it is nice, no doubt. Challenging and well kept.
However, on a Saturday morning, letting multiply groups of 2 out, makes for a horrible experience

We didn't see one Marshall on the course all day. Not one, who would have easily identified that back to back twosomes should not be out, or quickly identified that it was a foursome who split away and decided to golf themselves

When brought up to Spencer, the manager, I was told that I still got my round in within 4.5 hours. Regardless, waiting on literally every shot from the 2nd hole on, is a horrible experience. It's a horrible experience if you paid $50 on a Tuesday at a poor course, let alone Saturday morning for hundreds of dollars at Deer Creek.

Pace and service are known issues, I'm learning. It's a shame, as it's such a nice track.

Great course, great staff and the conditions are great right now. Good value.

Good golf course, challenging layout on Ruby 9 more friendly on diamond 9.
