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. What you see from the first tee is pretty much what you're going to get at Deer Creek. The first hole is 410 yards from the white tees with a soft dogleg to the right. There are bunkers on either side of the dogleg, but they're far enough away from the fairway that you can miss a shot a few yards to either side and still avoid the sand.
