Deerfield GC was in TOUR shape all summer...fastest greens anywhere...beautiful great fairways...awesome conditions & the layout is as challenging as it gets...

However, both times I’ve played Deerfield this summer the older starter was not only less than friendly but treated everyone in my groups like we were doing him a favor for playing there.
Then a ridiculous rule that we cannot have our cart until 10 minutes b4 our t-time!!! That is a terrible policy since we all like to warn up at the range beforehand...the range is about 300 yards from the 1st tee...no beverage cart either time I played so we all got our gatorades to put in our cart but we had to carry them around in a bag like a hobo until the starter “allowed” us to finally get our cart.
T-time reservations are for a reason...we pre-ordered a cart & there were at least 30 fresh carts waiting...
That policy need to be reviewed...as does the starters less than friendly demeanor...
