Frequently Asked Questions

How challenging is Deerwood Golf Club for a mid-handicapper?

Deerwood is a proper test, especially if you stray from the fairways; those mature oaks demand accuracy. We found the back nine's wetland carries on holes 13 and 15 really make you think twice about your club selection, so play smart, not just long.

When is the best time of year to play Deerwood and avoid the crowds?

We always recommend late spring or early fall for Deerwood; the course is in prime condition, and the weather is just perfect for golf. You'll find the crowds thin out significantly on weekday mornings, giving you a much more relaxed round.

What are Deerwood's signature holes or unique features I shouldn't miss?

You absolutely can't miss the par-3 8th, which plays over a beautiful ravine to a subtly sloped green - it's a real beauty and a true test of nerve. Then there's the dogleg par-5 17th; navigating the creek on your second shot is key to setting up a birdie chance.

What's the typical green fee at Deerwood, and is it good value?

Expect green fees at Deerwood to be in the mid-range for a quality public course, typically around $75-$100 depending on the day and time. We think it's excellent value for the meticulously maintained conditions and the thoughtful, classic design you get here.

What's the post-round experience like at Deerwood's clubhouse?

After your round, the Deerwood clubhouse offers a really comfortable, relaxed atmosphere. We love grabbing a drink and a bite on the patio overlooking the 18th green; their 'Oak Tree Burger' is surprisingly good and a perfect way to recap your game.
