Getting Worse

As I outlined in a previous submission, this course used to be in prime condition, regardless of the season, regardless of the weather. Since Golf North has aquired it, this course has and continues to deteriorate. The fairways that used to be immaculate are now scalped and baked hard. The tee boxes are torn up and the bunkers are simply signed "ground under repair" and allowed to become overgrown. The greens were in good condition. The clubhouse staff and starter were friendly and courteous.

Well Maintained Course

This course was in excellent condition from tee to green. Despite a recent long spell of hot dry weather, the course conditions were excellent.

A Fun Track

We had just gone through a long spell of hot and dry weather. You would not know it by this courses condition. The tee boxes, fairways and greens were all in excellent condition. There is water, elevation changes and an interesting layout. We will return.

A Great Track

This course is excellent in every way. The layout is fun and interesting. The course conditions were excellent. The staff went out of their way to be helpful. The carts are new and in excellent condition. The one hiccup was when we ordered hot dogs on the 8th hole for pickup at the turn. At the turn we waited 15 minutes for our order to be filled before we could return to the course.

Worth the Drive

Deer Run constists of 3 9 hole layouts. This time we played Doe to Buck. Despite the recent spell of hot and dry weather, the course was in great condition. It has a fun, interesting and challenging layout without being frustrating.

Going Down Hill

We have played this course many times over the years and have always found it to be in good condition, even during hot spells. This time we found the fairways sparse and dry. Many of the bunkers were unplayable. This course has a fun and layout with interesting elevation changes. The staff were friendly and engaging. I have read other reviews where the submitter has lamented the fact the Golf North has ruined another course. I had not made this connection personally before now. The condition of this course is deteriorating.

A must play

This is the fourth time I've played this course and I have never been disappointed. The course conditions are immaculate with lot of elevation changes and water carries. The riding carts are newer and in good condition. The staff are friendly and accommodating. The only negative is that their booking portal requires the booker to pay all green fees to complete the booking. I generally refuse to patronize courses that demand this. Our foursome came from Canada and when I explained to the booker that I either have to try to collect US funds from the rest of my foursome or lose the 38% exchange rate on a course reimbursement, he agreed to hold my booking without charging my card.

Busy Course

This course has a fun and interesting layout with lots of water carries. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. They have a new fleet of GPS equipped carts. They have an easy online booking portal. This course is heavily used and it shows. The fairways are heavily trafficked. The bunkers have shallow sand containing lots of small stones and are not really playable. That being said, it was fun to play but I don't think I'll return. It was a 5 hour round which is to be expected on a perfect late spring Sunday.

Immaculate Conditions

From the tee box to the fairways, greens and bunkers, this course was in immaculate condition. Lots of grounds crew out working the course. There is water and elevation changes. The layout keeps it interesting.

Always enjoyable

This course has three nines, all of which are in excellent condition and have an interesting layout. Water comes in to play on all 3. The club house is new and modern. We drive from an hour away a couple of times a year to play this course.

Our foursome travelled from Canada to play this course and we were not disappointed. The course was immaculate from tee to green. The staff greeted us with a friendly welcome. There is water, elevation changes and the views are stunning.

Immaculate

This is a links style course and was in immaculate condition from tee box to green. The fescue has been cut enough to allow a golfer to play back to the fairway. The fairways are generous and the green are large. The staff were friendly. The carts are in excellent condition and are equipped with GPS. The one criticism I have is that riding players have to leave the fairway 100 yards from the green. 100 yards seems a little early to me and there are no signs or GPS signal to direct riders when to leave the playing surface.

Never Disappoints

This has been a hot dry summer and many courses in our area are burned, hard and dry. The grass off the playing surface has suffered from the heat but the tees, fairways and greens were all in excellent condition. This course has a fun and varied layout. We usually play here a few times during the season and will continue to return.

Baked and Burned

The greens and bunkers were in good shape and well cared for. The rest of the course burned and baked. This course does not have enough water to irrigate the fairways so they're at the mercy of the weather. They have excellent facilities and the staff are friendly and courteous. To qualify my 'refer my friend" selection. I would recommend it early in the season but would not send a friend there under its current condition.

Lots of Fun and Interesting holes

The first three holes on this course are pretty average municipal type golf holes but the rest of the course is a fun and interesting layout. It features elevation changes, water hazards and some tree lined fairways. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Stunning Views

This course is positioned on Ford Lake and has stunning views from the clubhouse and many of the holes. They have new and modern facilities. There are elevation changes and water hazards on many holes. The greens had been dressed on the day we played so I really can't speak to their usual condition. The fairways and tee boxes were in good condition. The staff were courteous and helpful.

All Around Excellent

We're a group of 17-24 handicappers. We all found this course very challenging but fair. From tee to green this course is immaculate. The carts are new and well maintained. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Every hole presents a new golf experience with variations in shape, altitude and water hazards. A pleasure to play and worth every cent.

All Good with One Exception

This course was in good condition from tee to green with one exception. The bunkers are a mess. It's a moderately challenging layout with some high elevation changes on the final holes. The course is walkable for the most part but the climb on the last holes would be challenging for most golfers. I have played this course many times over the years and it seems to weather hot summer conditions well. If they clean up their bunkers it would be a better than average course.

Great Early Season Condition

For this time of year, the course was in great condition. Some tee boxes had been re-sodded to recover their condition and a couple of fairways had wet areas roped off but the course was very playable. The carts are newer and equipped with GPS. The staff was friendly and welcoming. A member of our group bought a sandwich and a hotdog at the turn and was surprised to be charged $18.
