Course Report
Deerfield Golf Club is set within the peaceful and scenic landscape of White Clay Creek State Park, offering a tranquil round away from city life.
About
Deerfield Golf Club is an 18-hole public course designed by William F. Gordon, set within White Clay Creek State Park. The course offers a scenic golfing experience with bentgrass greens and rye fairways, suitable for all skill levels, along with excellent practice facilities and dining options.
Caddie Tip
When playing Deerfield, focus on accuracy over distance, especially on the tighter holes framed by mature trees. Pay attention to the bentgrass greens, which can be tricky if the pin placements are challenging. Practice your short game before your round, as the course rewards smart layups and well-placed approaches.
The Main Challenge
The toughest part of Deerfield Golf Club is its tight, tree-lined fairways that demand accuracy off the tee. With a slope rating of 133, the course requires thoughtful shot selection and good course management, especially on the undulating greens that can challenge both putting and approach shots.
The Good
Golfers praise Deerfield for its beautiful setting within White Clay Creek State Park, the well-maintained bentgrass greens, and the variety of challenge for all skill levels. The course’s natural beauty and serenity make it a favorite for both locals and visitors.
The Not So Good
Some golfers mention that tee times can get crowded during peak hours, leading to slower rounds. Others have noted that drainage on a few holes could be improved, especially after heavy rain. Updating cart paths and signage is another area where feedback suggests possible enhancements.
