Everywhere you look, there are country roads and farm fields, and it's easy to get lost because there aren't nearly enough signs to the park. The golf course was built in 1982 by Jack Kidwell, who designed many of the courses in central Ohio. The area is beautiful even if you don't like farm fields. The park, which opened in 1974, contains second-growth woods and wildflowers galore. There's plenty of wildlife and even a few prairies.
Deer Creek holds up well in that respect, too.
The staff is among the friendliest you'll ever meet. Before you tee off, you'll be able to practice each area of your game. Deer Creek has a driving range, a practice bunker with a very steep lip, and a putting green. The best part about the putting green is that it may be one of the only ones you'll see at a public course that doesn't prohibit chipping. Of course, it's probably the only you'll ever see with a plastic deer in the middle, too, but you can overlook that.
