This is Deerpath’s 82nd season as one of the oldest and finest municipal courses in the Midwest. It is a traditional 18-hole course measuring 6,255 yards with a par 70 for men and 5,487 yards with a par 72 for women. The course layout and top turf conditions, along with consistent renovations and updates, maintain Deerpath’s status as a challenging and picturesque course for golfers of all levels.
