Deerpath Golf Course

Over all the Course is in Great Conditions, the greens in very good shape and well maintained, totally recommend this course!

Great course and friendly staff. Play Glencoe and Wilmette but this is far and above both of them. Wilmette is having trouble with its fairways.

Very well maintained course and staff is very friendly. Greens and tee boxes are in tip top shape.

So this isn't going to be a US Open qualifying course, but it is very playable and has some interesting holes. It is well maintained especially considering the amount of rain this area received over the past couple of weeks.
Playing on July 4th is always risky related to length of a round, but this course had many regular golfers who kept the pace of play moving quickly. We played in less than 4 hours teeing off at 9:30am.

If you are looking for a decent round of golf in the northern suburbs this is a place you should consider. While we didn't stay after the round they have a really appealing outdoor area with cushioned couches overlooking the course.

An awesome course. Great course to practice ypur swings. The staff was also very friendly.

Deerpath is a decent design but the conditioning was not up to par. Several fairways are burnt out with little to no grass. Greens are very small and quite slow. Driving range was poor -- not a lot of grass and the balls are old/worn out. On the positive side, the clubhouse is very nice with a great bar and patio. Its short (6200 yards, par 70) but plays more difficult than you'd think. Some huge beautiful old oak trees. Staff was friendly and welcoming.

Deerpath in Lake Forest is a well kept, pleasant course that is very playable for any golfer. We experienced great conditions and pace of play. The staff was very friendly. If it was closer to home, I'd play there regularly.

Book this course through Golf Now got $13 off the usual price. Normal price of $54 for a weekday is too high in my opinion. Started as a threesome but the two guys with me told me to go ahead as they did not want to hold me up. Course was in very good shape and the weather was perfect.

Nothing too tricky on this course, actually it is kinda vanilla. Only thing to worry about is the long par 3s.

The only thing the green to bed not to smooth I steel got birdy n Parr.
Maybe I'm coming back for next round.

I decided to give up after nine holes
due to the course conditions. I play with a friend at a different course every week on Tuesday or Wednesday in with the regular group on Sunday mornings. This course by leaps and bounds is in horrible shape and the reason I titled the review delusional is the staff thinks that a $30 per player rate including a card is good value on a Tuesday. This was true a few years ago. However, in the north and northwest suburbs of Chicago There are courses that are less money and in far better condition. By all means avoid this golf course.

Sadly they had a tournament which was a shot-gun, so I was only allowed to play after 2 PM. I found another course in the area, which was comparable, yet cost 33% less!

The weather was perfect, the course a little wet, but
drove careful as not to ruin the fairway.
Craig, and the staff at the club house are very pleasant
I hope that after golf season they will repair and fix the golf paths. Looking forward to playing Deerpath Golf Course every chance I have.

Course is in great shape.We had a GREAT time!

The course was in pretty good condition overall, except for a few areas that were dried out or under repair. Layout is a little boring, not many really interesting holes but some good challenges. Pace of play was pretty atrocious. Waited on nearly every single shot and it took almost five hours to play 18. There seemed to be no enforcement of pace of play on a Saturday late morning round. The course was not special enough to go back at nearly $60, and too slow to go back at just about any price.

Beautiful course, would recommend it to others. Will definitely be back.

Ok course but no ranger working after noon on weekends; they let people tee off starting at back nine so long wait after the turn! If you are wanting to keep pace, forget it. I reported it to the office not he didn't seem to care. Not rushing back!!

4/15
Course in good condition..
Couple of greens needed repairs

Played by myself in a cart, came upon two women on the first green. Waited every shot for three holes before having to jump ahead of them for their lack of golf etiquette and simple courtesy, totally clueless about letting someone play through. As far as the course, surprised at the poor condition for a course representing one of the richest cities in the U.S. Looks like they used pitchforks to aerate the greens! Aweful. The layout was nice, few holes were poorly designed. A lot of better courses in the area for less money. Two of the most financially strapped cities in Illinois, North Chicago and Waukegan have better courses, go figure. Spend some money Lake Forest!! Your course needs it!!! Until then, I'd play a different course

Had not played this course on Sunday's for several years because in the past five hour rounds. Had to wait on every shot for group in front. Two of our foursome left after nine holes. I was tempted but thought the pace might pick up on the back, it did not. The fairways are in good shape, the greens are not. The greens appeared to be lacking proper maintenance and did not roll well.. I think they over book the course. I had an on-line deal so not too upset, would have been if I paid full price!
