nice course

The terrain has some nice views with tree lined hills and valleys. Make sure you look at the scorecard for hints on the holes. Great value.

Good value, poor pace of play

We had an afternoon tee time with a great rate through GolfNow. The conditions were good, Tee boxes and fairways were above average and rough was consistent and thick. The greens were slow but overall not bad, the high amounts of ball marks were annoying as you could spot over a dozen on each hole that needed repaired. Overall we enjoyed the round despite the poor pace of play and the loud groups that were simultaneously listening to a nascar race, basketball game and music on the course.

Beautiful Course

This is one the most beautiful course's that play. I don't get to play it as often as I'd like to because it is about an hour from my home but I plan on playing it more. The weather was rainy but the grounds crew were still out cutting grass and seeding the tee boxes. Just an absolutely wonderful golf course.

Beautiful in the middle of nowhere

You wouldn't expect much from a course with a Clayton, Indiana address, but this course is of postcard picture quality. Very challenging for the average golfer, most every hole requires an accurate tee shot. Also, the greens tend to be much much slower than the average golf course so 3 putting early could be commonplace. However, if its your first time playing the course, just put down the scorecard and enjoy a round of golf on a beautiful piece of land. A GolfNow user can usually find a good deal here often for under 20 bucks.

Great Early Round

Deer Creek was in excellent shape for this early in the spring other courses we have played had a lot of damage form the hard winter. Deer Creek seemed to have avoided any major damage. Always a good place to play, the staff are friendly and Knowledgeable. I highly recommend Deer Creek Golf Course for a fun and challenging round. Best bang for the buck in Hendricks Co.

A design joke. Downhill lies to uphill greens over 200 yards carry. Hidden ditches, trees instead of fairways and greens that are made more for sleds

This course is overpriced and unplayable for any golfer with skill playing any other well laid out golf course. Number 2 is a real joke and four of the par fours should be eliminated from play. The par threes are the only holes on the course that appear to have any design at all. You can hit a perfect drive and end up in the water or on a severe downhill slope shooting to a green that will never take a shot. Only guys with jeans and five somes play here and the key is to be a beginner or not really care what you shoot. This is without a doubt, the worst laid out golf course in Indiana. There are so many wet spots that the carts have to be kept on the cart path. Worm holes are more abundant than grass on the greens and the fairways are covered with leaves/ SAVe your money this course is a joke and populated by farmers and guys who just want to own golf clubs. This course will never be fun to play and just frustrate you from learning how to play a real course. Compare this place to a wooded cornfield with too many hills to plow.

The course was in great shape considering it was October.

Thought the course was in great shape for the middle of October. Staff was great. The course was practically empty, it was rainy, windy and cold. Had never played the course before. My only complaint were the four parallel par 4's and there too many par fours that you had to lay up on because of hazards or other trouble. Do not like having to hit iron off the tee then having hybrids in. Nothing against the course just personally don't enjoy that.

Tough front nine with a more relaxed back nine.

The front nine is the tough part of the course. The fairways are very narrow and not forgiving as it is engulfed with trees on both sides. The back nine are a lot more relaxed and forgiving and I found a lot easier. The course was in need of mowing as in the rough it was very easy to lose balls. I understand that they have had a lot of rain recently and that might be the problem along with some leaves on top of the grass in the rough also. The greens and tee boxes were in good shape.

Real close from the interstate. Easy to get to.

Nice course. Tight, could use better cart path markings. Hard to find certain holes. Lot of wood, so hit straight, or bring balls.

Good course....but...

Played this course yesterday morning. The staff was very friendly and the course was in pretty good shape (most ball marks repaired, no debree on the fairways or greens, sand traps were nicely raked). My only complaint is that the mowing crews were prevalent all day and it was difficult to find a flat spot to tee off from on a few holes. Overall it's a good course for the money.

Great course for the value

Overall course was in very good shape, tee boxes, fairways, bunkers and greens. Three quarters of the course is fairly tight with trees and water with a good layout overall, a fair challenge from the back tees. A Great course for the value thru Golfnow.com...

Well maintained "Local Knowledge" course

This course is odd. It is well maintained. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The overall experience was good. That being said, the course is tricked up. There are several holes that require repeated knowledge of the course in order to play them well.

I would recommend this course with the caveat that they will be frustrated with some weird angles and hidden obstacles.

Not designed for relaxed play but nicely kept course.

Beautiful views, great club house, very well kept fairways, medium fast greens, but I found the design of the course itself was sorely lacking. Confusing cart paths, congested tee areas caused by clustered tees. Such a shame because its an absolutely gorgeous course that is a total pain to play. Always having to watch for players crossing near your fairway is a constant distraction. My best guess is this course was laid out by a landscaping company and not a course designer. Really a poor layout for good flow. My only complaint with the physical grounds is the Tee boxes are mostly domed affairs which shows a lack of attention to detail and engineering. I think it is a beautiful, well kept course with great staff, but I won't be playing it again because I don't enjoy having to continually wait for players on other fairways to be out of harms way before I hit, and I don't like having to duck incoming balls.
