One great value in the Chicagoland area

Deer Creek is a great value for the money. This course is in top condition from tee to green on every hole. The greens are excellent and roll true. These green are better then most public courses and some private courses. This course is open year round barring snow. Even in winter these green are better then some courses are in mid season. The course has five sets of tees that should accommodate golfers of all levels. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. Many golfers travel from all over Chicago and Northwest Indiana to take advantage of this course.

Best Cheap Course Around

For the price this course is great. Greens, fairways and rough are all well maintained. Not a very tough course to play and is great for mid to high handicap golfers. Nothing fancy but a slightly above average course overall. Would recommend to many.

A wonderful golf experience

I have played Deer Creek two times , both times I absolutely loved the experience. The course layout is very friendly and challenging. The course is a fun mix of links and tree lined holes, the par threes seem to perfectly fill the high and low corners of the property. The course does not feel flat , like some local courses but has a lot of nice undulating contours.
The staff is the nicest around , starting with the gentleman in the proshop to the grounds crew .
Done miss this golf experience south of Chicago.

Better than ever

I was absolutely shocked at how nice the greens were. Some of the best I’ve played on this year. The fairways were great too. I have played a lot of deer creek in past few years, it never looked like this. Absolutely recommend before the prices get higher. Lol.

Slow play

Played there three times. Twice got stuck behind slow players. First slow time the players would not let us through. Second time the ranger had to make them let us through. Otherwise the place is great.

Early Season

Deer Creek is always fun. It was very early in the season, so course conditions reflected this, but overall came thru the winter well.

Nice layout slow play

Deer Creek is a nice course with a good layout.
Greens are good and fairways are wide
This course has a starter but no ranger so pace of play becomes an issue in nice weather about 4 1/2 hours to slow for me. But when it’s cool or weekdays this course is open.
