Great course with the exception of one

The course that is splendid except one
Anyway, that means that there are many players.
Only it may be proof with the popularity, but is annoying to me.
It is awesome, and waiting time is long every hall.

Pleasant suprise

Found this course due to me and some friends heading towards southwest Ind and wanted to make a pit stop, and thanks to some reviews on golfnow glad we gave it a try. Course isn't real long and some holes are tight next to others but outside of that the course was in great condition and it made for a fun play. If I was on the westside more often would come here more frequently.

Course layout is very diverse and scenic.

Fun course to play. Mature and well groomed. Like the many changes in the terrain.

Nice but Cramped

The course is very well maintained. Smooth greens and trimmed fairways. However, the tee boxes and greens are literally right next to each other on most holes. The chatter from other groups and the worry of being hit by a stray ball from the other holes detracts from the smooth greens and fairways. This course is dangerous with its parallel holes. It was money well spent but I will not recommend.

Well-maintained, friendly staff and always a challenge.

For Plainfield and surrounding, there are two choices for a quick 18 holes of golf. One is a Pete Dye design and the other is actually a decent golf course. (...see what I did there?) Deer Creek stands alone as a fun place to play with awesome fairways and greens, a friendly staff and a comfortable clubhouse. However, where it really starts to shine is when you compare it to Oak Tree Golf Course down the road. With fairways that play like my backyard, and a staff that is as friendly as a group of rabid badgers, this "Pete Dye" layout is an absolute dump. If Dye somehow decided to visit, he would probably change his name and move out of the country.

When we played Deer Creek this week, the staff saw us pull into the lot and brought our cart right to the truck so we could load up. They remember who we are and we always feel like valued customers. The course is always in great shape and we always know where we can find a great golf experience right down the road. If you haven't made it out to Clayton to play here...it's your loss.

Out there

Fairly far from the city but is a beautiful course with plenty of trees, bunkers, water and a few hills. Doesn't handle rain particularly well but a great course to play.

Well maintained but very very slow play, no ranger on course to speed up slower groups.

Although there was some intital confussion with the tee time booking, the staff was very friendly and somewhat accomodating. The play however was very slow, and our group ran out of time to finish all 18 holes. There was no ranger on the course to monitor play, and subsequently our wait at some holes were up to 20 to 25 minutes.

Really liked the course

Scorecards with tips for each hole helps for first timers. Fast greens have a feel of a true championship course. I liked that it has a little of everything traditional and links some hills and valleys not my favorite style but very playable.
