If you haven't played this course recently, you will be blown away when you experience it.
The first thing you'll notice are the totally new parking lots and the gorgeous clubhouse. While approaching the clubhouse, you'll spot a number of white oases on the landscape-actually white beach sand bunkers dotting the fairways. The fairways and greens are as lush and manicured as a private club. The sand traps are perfectly groomed. The greens hold your shot, but be prepared for above average speed on your putts. The clubhouse staff is friendly and courteous and you can readily tell that making golfers have a positive experience is the goal of every employee you come into contact with. The food at the turn gives you plenty of choices; again, with very good service.
I can't speak to the dining room food as I have not eaten there in my seven visits to Deerfield in the past two years.
I took the time to write this for two reasons: First, the course is an excellent test of golf and very enjoyable to experience. Second, I noticed some old reviews online that are less than positive that were written before the new owners and staff worked their magic on this course. I golf a lot and have a lot of golfer friends and we play almost all of the courses in the greater Rochester area. We all agree that Deerfield is truly in the top-tier of the semi-private courses in the area. A bonus is the fact that the greens fees are considerably below comparable courses.
