Good course overall (imo). Tees for all levels (short, medium and far). Only Pro tees have pads. Pars 3,4 and 5. 3 pin locations. Holes anywhere from 160 to 1000 feet. If you have a big arm you should crush this course. Mostly wide open (tree here or there) but has a bit of everything : open, narrow, short, far, up/down hill, water and a little o.b. all over. Course on campus which means the grass will always be kept. No smoking. No bathrooms in the winter. As far as I know only 1 visitors parki ...

Had fun. Good for beginners. The rough is really rough (thick). Hard to navigate on a hole or 3 having never been there before and not having a map. Your typical par 3ish (short) course.

Great for beginners or trying to hone your short game. It's on campus so the grass will always be cut. Some elevation change (mostly down hill). Some trees (obstacles) on some holes. Pretty wide open for the most part. A few openings you have to hit. Only 2 holes over 300 ft. The rest are between 150-230ish (if I remember correctly) I am not partial to par 3 courses or it may get a higher rating from me.

It's way more enjoyable than I made it sound. For first timers it's near impossible to navigate without map (which I didn't have). Took 10 minutes to find hole 1. If there were more/better signage I'd give a B+. No flow to the course at all. Besides that if you look at the holes 1 by 1 it's very enjoyable (imo). Some tees have little block/cement pads to drive from the rest are natural (nothing too bad). Front 9 accessible for all ages (all par 3s). 10-18 is a hike (literally) and very wooded. I ...

I may be going crazy but tee pad number 2,12,13, and 15 say par 4. This site is giving me the wrong par on those holes. Par is actually 58. Overall the course is well maintained. No tee pads but the driving areas weren't bad. You have to walk a bit farther than you think from 14 to 15 (it's down the paved path). Garbage cans and outhouses are convenient enough. Really liked the back 9 scenery.

can't ask for much better, for it being basically a par 3 course. But that's just it, it's a par 3 course

Meticulously well kept. Pin change often. Very scenic. Mats only on white tees. Don't like walking up the hills but love throwing off them. Wooded and open fairways. I like hole 15 no matter how bad I do on it

Deer Lakes is a great coarse. Has a bit of everything. From throwing over water, up hill, down hill, across mini valleys, trees everywhere, wide open shots to long narrow fairways. Multiple par 4 and par 5s. It's well kept. Has cement tee pads for all 3 skill sets on all 18 holes. Seems like every time I go there that there is an improvement to the course as in trenches, bridges and walkways over some icky areas. Some tees may be hard to find if it's your first time there. Only dislikes imo is it can get really muddy (after a rain) and it's very hilly.
