Do Not Recall (cart included), played on Saturday, April 2013 at 10am
Playing in April just outside of Chicago, you have very few great expectations. Deerpath GC had the smoothest, fastest greens I've ever seen at this time of year. They obviously had them covered for the better part of the winter, and they were a pleasure to putt! I enjoyed the layout - not too challenging, but fair. I'm a 13 handicap now, and at 6200+ yards, the course is just right for me.
Bottom line: I enjoyed it - LOVED the greens - and will look for a chance to add it to our rotation of North Shore courses!
Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Average course for the area, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
Condition of Course, No Houses on Course, Pace of Play
