Deerfield

Frequently Asked Questions

How challenging is Deerfield for a mid-handicapper, and what specific holes should I watch out for?

Deerfield offers a fair but firm test, especially if your iron game isn't dialed in. The back nine, particularly holes 13 through 15, demands precise approach shots to avoid the marshland that borders the left side of several greens and can quickly inflate your score.

When is the best time of year to play Deerfield, and what are the course conditions typically like?

We always recommend late spring or early fall for Deerfield; the fescue is vibrant, and the greens are usually at their fastest and truest. You'll find the course meticulously maintained year-round, but these seasons offer the most comfortable playing temperatures and prime conditions.

What's the signature hole at Deerfield, and what makes it so special?

Without a doubt, the par-3 7th hole is Deerfield's showstopper, playing over a natural ravine to a well-guarded green. It's a true test of nerve and club selection, offering stunning views but absolutely no room for error if you miss the putting surface.

What can I expect to pay for a round at Deerfield, and is it worth the green fee?

Green fees at Deerfield typically range from $90-$130, depending on the season and time of day, which we find to be excellent value for the quality of the layout and conditions. You're paying for a meticulously maintained course with a thoughtful design that truly stands out.

Is Deerfield a good course for walking, and how is the pace of play?

Deerfield is quite walkable, especially the front nine, but be prepared for some longer treks between holes on the back. Pace of play is generally very good, usually around 4 hours 15 minutes, as the marshland on the back nine tends to spread groups out naturally.
