Deer Run Golf Club, West Tawakoni, TX

Had a lot of fun here with my family. The area is so beautiful and the management does a great job to make you feel welcome. Lake views, nice equipment, and good greens to go with it too.

Just finished my first round on the course. It was close, and I was looking for a different course. Greens are very small and surprisingly spongy (excess thatch), so either hit with a lot of spin or bump and run if you want a birdie putt. I'm not sure the maintenance crew has ever heard of aeration or verti-cutting. Fairways are a weedy combination of common and hybrid bermudagrass, dallisgrass, and crabgrass. All of this is cut the same length, including the rough, so the only way to know if you're in the fairway is the tree line. I shot 78, so I didn't play too poorly, but the $38 green fees are too high for this pasture with putting greens.
