King's Deer Golf Club

This course is quite nice and challenging. The native grass is so thick it might as well be water, and its everywhere. Im giving this course 4 stars because most of the tee boxes are crowned and that makes no sense to me. Please level the t boxes. Also the website boasts a "premier" practice facility with the best balls. This is simply not true, they use the cheap yellow range balls that are beaten up and the range was like Swiss cheese which made no sense on a Tuesday why they didnt move the line. There is no GPS in carts and a TON of blind shots. For someone who's never been here before this was annoying. Also the carts are dying and incredibly slow, I had to switch carts before my t time. The course conditions are nice but no one likes to wait for an army of lawn mowers to finish mowing your t box mid round. All of the staff were incredibly friendly and I think this course could be top notch if they made a few upgrades. For 85 bucks you get what you pay for. I drove 50 minutes to play this course and it was fun but I dont think I would make the trip again.

Excellent course for the price and the customer service is top notch. Good variety on the holes and a solid test of your game. Greens are much better than your average public course. I love that they have breakfast burritos/hotdogs out and ready to grab. Grabbing goodies at the turn is quick and painless. My only gripe is the pace of play. It's purely a layout issue and has little to do with the players or marshalling. The front 9 has three par 3s, #4 is a drivable par 4, and #5 is a short par 5 so groups just get stacked after #3 no matter what. They could help the pace issues by making #4 longer (not drivable) and #5 shorter (into a par 4) or longer. That being said, this course is amazing value for the money as long as you come into it expecting a 5 hour round.

The golf course looked great, and I was really excited to play Kings Deer. Unfortunately, once I arrived, I learned that they do not allow non-playing riders on the course under any circumstances. I was more than willing to pay a rider fee, but was told there were no exceptions. When I booked my tee time, I did not see anything stating that riders were not allowed. It’s certainly possible I overlooked it, but after making a 1.5-hour drive specifically to play the course, finding out after I arrived definitely put a sour taste in my mouth. I don’t want to discourage anyone from playing Kings Deer because the course looked to be in great shape, and the staff was friendly and professional. They also gave me a refund due to the situation, which I appreciated. That said, because of the rider policy and the fact that I wasn’t aware of it beforehand, I personally would not make the trip back.

Sep 2026: This course is in excellent shape with friendly, helpful staff and conscientious greenskeepers. Well stocked proshop and very accommodating and great value snack bar. The largest shortfall are the poor condition of the cart paths and sand traps. This has been an issue for years. Check out the punch card green fees - a good value.

First time playing this beautiful course and it certainly won't be the last time. The staff was friendly, the course was in great shape and it will test the skill of any golfer. Keep it in the short stuff because it can be pretty difficult to find your ball in the tall and thick grasses that line the fairways. Pace of play was a little slow but it was a Saturday morning and that can be expected most places but the weather was gorgeous and there was a nice breeze with it being a links style course with very few trees to block the wind.
