    Beautiful golf course, reasonably priced, nice staff. Beware, the skeeters can fly off with your golf cart.

    A few weeks ago I was visiting family in the area from out of state and decided to stop by to hit…read moresome balls on the range. Being my first time here, I wasn't familiar with how things worked at this course, especially with their Toptracer setup and range boundaries. There wasn't clear signage to explain the rules or layout. Unfortunately, after hitting my balls, the owner himself came storming out and started aggressively yelling at me in front of other customers for apparently hitting balls past a certain perimeter -- something I had no idea was an issue. I tried to explain it was my first time there and that I was unaware of any restrictions, but instead of de-escalating, he continued to berate me. Things got even more unsettling when I went to my vehicle in the parking lot, only for the owner to follow me out, sit on the hood of my truck, and physically prevent me from leaving the property. It wasn't until the police that he called arrived, I was able to safely leave. I've never experienced anything like this in all my years of golfing at courses around the country. It was an incredibly unprofessional and uncomfortable situation, and I would strongly advise anyone -- especially visitors -- to be cautious if considering this course. At the very least, be aware that this business seems to lack proper communication and hospitality toward guests unfamiliar with their setup.

    I'm very disappointed with the way my 70-year-old mother and my 90-year-old grandmother were…read moretreated at Red Barn Golf Course. A couple of weeks ago they had booked a tee time to play four holes together, hoping to enjoy a quiet, casual outing with a golf cart on a nice day. When they arrived and went inside to pay, the owner immediately scolded them for scheduling a tee time for only four holes, claiming they took a spot away from a "full-paying customer." Instead of calmly explaining course policies or handling the situation with understanding -- especially given their ages -- the owner raised his voice and made them feel unwelcome. He then insisted they pay the full nine-hole fee, even though they were very clear about only wanting to play a few holes. It's incredibly disappointing to see a business treat guests this way, especially elderly customers just looking to enjoy a peaceful round of golf together. There's a right way to manage course operations, and this wasn't it. Customer service and basic kindness matter -- and unfortunately, that was lacking here.

    We used to vacation here multiple times a year in the 80's and 90's - this was our "go-to" spot for…read morelong weekends, family gatherings, etc. We decided to reunite our family, which is now spread out all over the country, at Abbey Springs for a nostalgic summer long-weekend getaway. FYI, we're not golfers either. Never swung a club on the course, but the family-friendly amenities and "life at the lake" environment attracted us back every time. What we liked/loved during our latest visit: The beautiful setting. The well-manicured grounds. The dining options (clubhouse food was great). The indoor and outdoor swimming options for the kids. The proximity to downtown Lake Geneva. Our rental condos were very nice. Nice pro-shop. Ice cream for kiddos at the Clubhouse. Beautiful wildlife - deer, turkeys, etc. What we didn't like: There's a strong sense of exclusivity and entitlement amongst the members and staff, and our group also felt an overall feeling of disdain towards us being renters. This was apparent in our interactions with several staff members and owners. Specifically - the older gentleman at the beach guardhouse who firmly enforced the parking regulations for renters ("go park by the clubhouse") and even suggested I drop off my toddler children (by themselves) at the beach and then go park. Other family members had unfortunate run-ins with him as well. Our children weren't allowed into the petting zoo at the beach. There was a large group of elderly women who had us removed from the snack shop because they "had the space reserved to play bridge." No signs on the tables. But our kids and family were forced into the restaurant to finish their lunches. Then... some of these women tried to come and take chairs (that we were using) from our table because there wasn't enough seating for them to play bridge, hurling some snarky comments at us along the way. We received a lot more cold glares pushing us out rather than warm smiles welcoming us in. Finally, and unfortunately, several members in our group commented on the extreme lack of diversity within this resort - primarily among the members. Also - look out for raccoons in the trash dumpsters at night! We enjoyed ourselves nonetheless. Will we return? We'd consider it, but some of the aforementioned items may give us pause.

    Scenic course, Terribly maintained. I can't believe the condition of the course for the price. Bad…read morevalue fix your greens! I felt like i was taken to the cleaners. It is challenging with the greens were full of footprints and mud. The sand bunkers were not raked and some of the teeing grounds were very muddy. The course was recommended by a friend and there are two or three photo worthy holes. The fairways are tight and tree lined. It requires precise shots. The most positive was seeing a few deer and the carts had blue tooth. I'd recommend Geneva national or hawks view over abbey springs. Better value. Did I fail to mention the food service is mediocre.

    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.

    It represents the Driftless Region well with all the hills. Very challenging and walking it is not…read morefor the faint of heart. My first time there, I asked to walk 18 holes and the pro shop guy said "110% of people take a cart." You will get a work out for sure. The golf is challenging, keeps you thinking, and is really well maintained. Worth the trip.
