If only I could take this golf course back to California with me, life would be awesome. This is…read moreone of the most beautiful golf courses I have had the pleasure to play. In my opinion this course is better than Trump National in Palos Verdes, California and Pelican Hills. There is not one negative comment from me. Greens were a little difficult, but I like the challenge, fairways are in excellent condition. Not a yellow spot or wet spot on the course. This course is a must play and needs to be on your bucket list to play. Staff is friendly and very accommodating. Members; there should be no complaints. I hope you all know you have one of the best golf courses in the country.

The one group is girls and we play a lot slower than the boys(we just started this year) so sometimes the boys will wait for us to help us. Well tonight at 6:45 we got approached by a ranger and said we had to split up... we we're already split up and this was only on hole two of the red and the 1st hole doesnt take much for anybody lets be real im new and can get it done quickly... so we split up even more and played best shot the whole time should have to do... id say around hole 4ish we were just teeing off and once again approached by a ranger saying i was pulled off hole 18 of the blue and yall still aren't split up... no we are but you are now assuming... i and everyone else felt very harassed. I will not be returning to this course for a very long time if this is going to happen like this... we had teams of two and planned on playing best shot the whole time but to be harassed saying there ppl behind you and there isnt and that it was all our time slots... poor business... do better

I've been golfing Deer Valley for many years, and I love it there - it's my "go to" course,…read moreespecially when I can't find a great deal on something else. First, Deer Valley is an affordable course. I love to golf, but can't afford to shell out top-shelf prices for a round. HOWEVER, Deer Valley isn't exactly a cheap "hacker's course". There's a wide variety of hole styles to keep your attention, highlighted by their signature par-3 #5 that takes you 120 yards out, but straight down to a soft green. The view is intimidating, but it's a hole you could shoot at for hours. Immediately after #5, you're challenged to drive over the rocky, steep face that you just came down. There are holes with blind tee shots over hills, hard dog-leg turns, and plenty of terrain to navigate. I haven't even mentioned hole #1 - a long par 5 up a big hill (and almost always into the wind). Once you get past that hole, the rest doesn't feel too bad. Deer Valley is extremely scenic with tee boxes overlooking vast valleys. In the fall, the colors are breathtaking. Being removed from the big city, it's one of the most peaceful courses I've been on. Keep an eye on your ball, but don't forget to take in the scenic views and watch for wildlife! It's beautiful there! The new "Valley" nine is nice, but I still like the Ridge and Prairie best. Valley is a little tighter and most of the holes run in, you guessed it, the valley... Definitely a course worth hitting. If you're a prude and want to be addressed as "Mister", have your clubs cleaned by some high school boy working for tips, go somewhere else. If you're looking for a course that is great bang for the buck, to hang out with some friends and have a great time - hit Deer Valley.

As a late adopter of the game, I played my first ever round of golf around 2 years ago as a 24 year old at this course, and I have been absolutely addicted to the ruthlessly challenging, yet infinitely rewarding journey that is golf. While Brown Deer isn't the nicest course I have played during my short career, I still love to play 18 here whenever I get the chance. My wife, father-in-law, and I played here last on the final day of the 2025 season. Can't wait to come back in a few weeks!!!

Pretty easy setup for high level amateurs, but very fair. Make sure you're hitting the greens in the right spots, or your score will tally up.

The short par 4's can be a birdie or double bogie; depends on your drive. Walkable course, greens and tees are only a few yards apart. Great for a family outing or grab some beer (best pricing your going to find for a golf course if you take advantage of the 6 pack pricing) and some buddies for a day playing golf. If looking to kill a few hours and your in the area, give the course a try. You will be glad you did.
