Deal

Deal is a delight, especially if you enjoy classic courses. The original layout is partially by Donald Ross and his mark is clear on several holes, particuarly 7 and 8 which feature very difficult greens. The course is very heavily bunkered, but they can be avoided by thoughtful shotmaking. Our host pointed out that the course has been improved many times over the years and changes are planned for the low lying holes 4 and 5. The conditioning was superb. This is a private course so you need an invite to play. Portions of the course permit views of neighboring Hollywood CC. Wind is a factor as the course is no more than a mile from the Atlantic. If you receive an invite here, clear your calendar!
Would travel: 60-120 Miles
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area
