Reviews
fun to play
course always seems to be in very good condition
Nice course with some elevation
First time I played this course and it was pretty nice. Greens were in excellent condition. Fairways were a little rough in some areas but overall not bad. Will be back and will recommend to others.
Course for everyone
I took me friend who is a beginner and felt very comfortable playing the course.
Challenging but fun layout!
Deer Creek is a fun layout that challenges because of it's tree lined fairways and numerous water placements. Course was in good condition, and is quite scenic due to the many trees. Always love playing here and will definitely do so again!
Better than I remembered
Third time I played this course in last three years. The first things people will say about DC are usually not complimentary: Adjoining fairways increase the risk of getting hit by a ball and a couple of funky hole layouts. There is some truth to both comments, however I think it's a smokescreen. It's a challenging course with some tight fairways you can't afford to miss. The adjoining fairways are not that tight....it's the penalty for missing them that annoys people. Hole #2 should be redesigned. Either move the tee up so the water can be cleared from the tee or move it back and create a par 5. As it stands, a good tee shot ends up in the water. If short, you are looking at 200 yds uphill to the green. It is an annoying hole. Finally, it would be better if a first time player could play with someone who has played the course to help with where to hit your drive (#1 for instance), club selection (#4 for instance) and, in several cases, finding your way to the next tee. Course conditions were very good and I enjoyed my round.
Amateur's Delight
I've been playing at Deer Creek for the past 21 years. It's always in excellent condition and has many interesting hole layouts. It probably has a special place in my heart as it is where I made my only hole-in-one back on May 9th, 1997 on what is now #11.
very good course worth the drive
well cared for course fairways and greens were in great shape even with the rain very little standing water .
decent experience overall
Have played this course a decent amount of times prior, but never felt like I wanted to share my experience. The course has a good layout with the first couple of holes be very nice. Then you get to the middle of the course and everything seems congested. Basically if you don't hit the ball straight off the drive you're looking at a bogey or worse guaranteed. Back 9 spaces out well so overall it isn't bad in any means. Greens were in rough shape when I went this last time. Couple of any holes on some of them that made for annoying obstacles. Some of the tee boxes for par 3's were in really rough shape. For the hot deals price the course is worth it.
Worth the travekl
Fun to play. Some tight fairways and greens with lots of contour. Well worth the drive to get there.
u000003740253,
Thank you for the great 4-Star review! We are glad you had a fun time, and hope you make the drive out again soon!

Beautiful, challenging course!
Other than being penalized for hitting a good drive on 6 and 7, this is a beautiful course. Bent fairways, perfectly manicured greens, lots of trees and water, lovely sand all make it one of the best courses in central/southern Indiana. #17 is impossibly hard, unless you hit a perfect 210 yard drive. It's their signature hole. Course is 6600 yds. from the tips, which is where you should play from. As good a course as you can find anywhere.
SCL1SMI,
Thank you for the excellent 5-Star review! We are honored you consider us "one of the best courses in central/southern Indiana!" Come play again soon!

SOLD and will return
My boss left it up to me to find a course AND rent clubs for a recent trip to Indy. I found this gem mainly on being close to the airport. Contacted the course via email to see about possibility of rentals for both of us. When we arrived, the rental clubs had been assembled and ready for us to go. To our pleasure, the club were current versions and of great quality. The staff was extremely friendly and very helpful in getting us going.
The course was in really good shape except for a couple of greens, which had been hit by some recent very heavy rains. Great views every turn you took and some challenging holes all around. We managed to squeeze in 18 holes in less than 4 hours and promise to return to this hidden gem again.
Oh, did I mention that with twilight rates AND rentals, it was only $44. We haven't hardly been able to play anywhere at any time for that amount and it usually didn't include rentals.
My boss was so impressed with the rental set of Taylormades, that he came back to MN and traded his Ping's in for the same set - THANK YOU DEER CREEK

Great Value for a very challenging course!
We played this course on a day that they were aerating the greens so had to start on hole 15, which was no big deal, but this was my first time playing on "freshly aerated" greens which had just had the plug and dirt swept off. Made the greens extremely bouncy and impossible to get a good straight roll. My buddy said it was like playing the "PLINKO" game on the Price Is Right. Needless to say, being a poor putter to begin with, this made for a LONG round! Otherwise, the weather the day we played was PERFECT with low 80's, sunshine and low wind. Course was not overly crowded, and we were playing as a 3-some and only one time did we felt "pushed" by a single golfer who we invited to play through. I have played this course several times and find it to be VERY challenging for a novice golfer like me! It has water, sand, and some major elevation changes. (If you want to try hitting on downhill, and uphill lies, you WILL get your chance!) This course is very well kept, and is in a really nice quiet area West of Indianapolis. I would highly recommend anyone to play this course as it is fun, but unless you are a single digit handicap, don't expect to have your best score ever!:)
overfeltjr,
Thank you for the 4-Star review! We are happy to hear you found the course challenging, yet fun! Please, come back again in a couple weeks once the greens greatly improve after having been aerated.
