Very scenic course that is well maintained although the day I played the bunkers were not groomed. I’m a senior golfer whose lowest handicap was only 18 and never a big hitter so extremely challenging for me. Nice variety of holes with some wide and some not so wide fairways. Not many forced carries and fast greens.

My husband and I had our wedding at Deerfield just yesterday. It was the best day of my life. I booked the venue a year and a half ago after reading raving reviews and taking the tour. We originally worked with Alex Lento who was the sweetest person to work with. Our account got switched to Angela Kaiser and she was just as wonderful. Angela answered all of my questions in a timely manner and was always reachable by phone. I had ALOT of questions through the year and half of planning, and Angela was more than patient and accommodating. On the actual wedding day I was assigned Wendy and two other bridal assistants. Wendy made sure everything ran according to schedule. She made sure my fiancé and I always had a drink in our hand and that we sat down to eat. She made sure we were where we needed to be, when we needed to be there. The two bridal assistants checked on my fiancé and I every 15 minutes. They ensured that we didn’t need anything and if we did, we got it promptly. The weather predictions kept changing and Deerfield gave us until noon on the day of the wedding to change our ceremony location to inside! They setup outdoors and when we changed our mind at 11:45am the day of the wedding, they quickly began setting up inside. I was so worried about the food because the test tasting was so delicious, I didn’t think it could possibly be AS GOOD. But it 1000% was. The food came out cooked perfectly and still hot (we had our rehearsal dinner at Deerfield the night before and the food was FANTASTIC - everyone was RAVING about it). If I had to do it again I would choose Deerfield. It was beautiful, the food was amazing and the people there were so kind, so professional, and made me and my now- husband their number one priority. If you are considering them, DO IT. The prices are reasonable, and you get SO MUCH FOR YOUR MONEY. It’s really a no brainer!

Our wedding was amazing! Wendy and Angelina were wonderful, along with the entire staff! The food was delicious; mushroom ravioli 🔥. The house champagne is my favorite of all time! Thank you for a great experience. 10/10!

Our wedding on May 4, 2024 at Deerfield was absolutely perfect, and we can’t recommend it enough! The Deerfield staff was exceptionally professional and attentive, always ensuring my husband and I had a drink in our hands and that everything ran smoothly. The attention to detail was impeccable, and the space itself was spectacular, providing a beautiful backdrop for our special day. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the food—from the cocktail hour to the entrees, desserts, and even the late-night snack station, every bite was delicious. We worked with Angela at Deerfield leading up to the wedding, and she ensured every detail was meticulously planned. On the day of, Adelle orchestrated everything seamlessly, allowing us to fully enjoy our wedding without any stress. The venue is immaculate, and we particularly loved that the fountain lit up at night! Despite the rain, there were numerous stunning spots for photos. If we could do it all over again, we would choose Deerfield in a heartbeat!

Been golfing here for years and has become a tradition with some friends. This year they canceled our tee time due to weather (which I understand) but refused to extend a voucher we had. I was very disappointed by this. I will be golfing somewhere else in the future.
