Don't Forget To Sign In At The Community Center! 2+ years
Reviewed:
Played on:Mar 22, 2016
Played the course:once
Pros:
Don't forget to your wear your helmet!
Or to bring to your California State approved Disc Golf Bag safety harness!
Or to take the pre-concussion test if case you should fall while playing and suffer a concussion!
Enough! The Deerfield Community Park is a lovely little community park. It has a community center with a thriving child care business, volleyball courts, a large children's play area, tennis courts, walking path and a cute little disc golf course best suited for elementary players. I loved it and shot a strong minus 9. I bet I am no where close to the course to the course record. I assume that someone has shot a minus 11 with two ACES and 7 birdies. Minus 12 ?????
Apparently someone was hit and the cities attorneys went crazy and ordered a redesign of the offending hole, # 9. The redesign now has # 9 playing as a extremely boring, wide open, 125' ACE run. Wouldn't be so boring if you could actually throw in a 125' approach shot, I could not!
A couple of holes force you to throw a semi-tunnel shot or perhaps put a little anhyser on your shot. The grass is green and lush. And of course, every hole is an ACE in waiting!

Cons:
Too short to challenge over the age of 10.
The hassle of signing a waiver. Do you have to report every time you play?
Natural tee pads are getting enough play that they are creating worn spots in the grass. Most tee areas now have two worn spots, one on each side of tee signs. Putting in some simple patio block tee pads would be better alternative, says I.

Other Thoughts:
The Deerfield DGC is still a fun little throw. You can bet your life if I lived in this neighborhood I'd be here all the time chasing ACES. And the course record, whatever it might be? I'd have to get lucky once in a while.

Very Short Course in Nice Neighborhood Park 2+ years
Reviewed:
Played on:Jan 1, 2016
Played the course:once
Pros:
This is a very short neighborhood nine hole course that was recently redesigned for a second time. I have played and reviewed both layouts.
You must sign in at the Rec center BEFORE you start your round. There is no fee to play. You agree to be responsible for your actions.
The tees and targets have been moved in an effort to keep other park users out of the way. Tees are now natural grass and marked only by plain signs. There is no indication if players should tee from the left or right of the signs. The re-design basically involved moving disc golf to the perimeter of the small park, thus creating much shorter holes. Hole 9 no longer plays into the central yard.
There are lots of signs to alert other park users to the presence of disc golf as well as reminders to players to watch for other park users.
It is a very short course with short holes. Great set up for first time players including kids. It is very stroller friendly.I would be happy to have this course in my neighborhood as an opportunity to practice and have a place to take new players.
Easy to navigate even without a map.
Nice full service restrooms close to the first tee in the Rec center. The Rec center is air conditioned and has drinking fountains.
They do not want players playing alternate or extended layouts for safety reasons. Please go to other courses if you are looking to work on your drives.

Cons:
It is a very short course in a busy multi-use park.
I really have nothing negative to say about this course. It would be great to have in my neighborhood. It is not really worth the drive to play from out of town, but if you are in the area, you should check it out.

Other Thoughts:
This course has been re-designed twice since 2007 for safety reasons. If you play, please be courteous and respectful. Try to boost our image with the neighbors and other park users. They do not want players playing alternate or extended layouts. Again, please go to other parks to practice long drives.

Park is in very nice area. I felt very safe playing alone.
Please be respectful when the park is in use by others. There is a lot of traffic for such a small park.
It is an very short nine hole course in your average neighborhood park and the rating reflects this.
