Incredibly disappointing to pay over $80 and the bunkers are not raked. Played at 7:05am so traps should've been fresh, however footprints from the previous day were evident. Also, the grass hitting in the range is full of weeds. I've played this course multiple times and it's evident the lack of detail the are putting into this course.

I've played this course many times over the last 20 years, but took a 10 year hiatus due to poor course conditions. On this visit, you could visably see the effort the greenskeeper has made to turn this course around. For a high volume public course, the greens rolled true, the bunkers decently manicured, and a challenge to play. As a 8 hdcp, I look for a fair challenge and this course provides it especially from the tips. The final 4 holes force you to hit golf shots if you want to post a great score. Deer Creek is a hidden gem at a fair price in the south suburbs.

The only downfall is the pro shop and clubhouse. Not enough options and the bar is not inviting to keep you around after the round.
