Deerfield Golf & Tennis Club

Went for Father's Day brunch. Food and service were excellent. There was an amazing array of food, from salads and soup through breakfast food, including an omelette station, lunch foods, including seafoods and a meat station, to amazing desserts. Service was prompt and very attentive. It's a little pricey, but not bad for a special occasion.

Recently sponsored a lunch there for 35 clients. Everything was perfect. Angela handled everything from setting up a meeting room with last minute notice to my guests having a delicious luncheon buffet. The wait staff was awesome and Adele did a great job of managing the day of the event.

Christiana Rotary had a wonderful golf tournament at Deerfield on May 12. The course was beautiful, staff very helpful and food was very good. Our golfers were happy and so are we!

Great golf course! Well kept. Course is hilly and challenging. Greens show no remorse. Book your tee time now and enjoy!

Attended a wedding here. It was beautiful! The staff were extremely helpful, the food was excellent, and the facilities exceptional. I was very impressed.

Went for Easter brunch. The spread was impressive, meat, seafood, omelette station, ice cream Sunday bar, the list goes on. Most food was decent, omelette station and one of the salad dressings were the only impressive items taste wise though, hence 4 stars instead of 5

Such a nice wedding/reception venue! I had just visited this place tonight, lovely atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and helpful, they accommodated to me well and I was just mearly a guest to the party (+1, as opposed to bridal or groomsmen party). It was a bit drafty with people coming in and out, yet I barely noticed because of what a great time I was having. Great job, folks

Over the span of many years, I have worked with Deerfield staff on events and have also attending events that I was personally invited to. I cannot say enough nice things about their staff (over all of the years I have worked with them). Jeff, Alex, and others have made this experience excellent. The atmosphere, the food, the outdoor space. I'd recommend this venue to anyone wanting a 5 star experience.

I can't wait to book my wedding here! The staff is amazingly attentive, personable and all the food is amazing! They're really willing to work with you and make everything as perfect as possible for your big day

This was one of my favorite golf courses. UNTIL.I lost my phone on the course and they made me drive 1.5 hours back to get it instead of shipping it to me. I even offered to pay for shipping.

Breathtaking all around! Deerfield is very elegant and the golf course is well maintained. Every staff member is friendly, accomodating and respectful. Shout out to the General Manager, Jeff Robinson for creating a wonderful environment at Deerfield! My husband and I got married at Deerfield in Sept 2019. We also celebrated our 1 year anniversary here by arranging a private, outdoor anniversary dinner that was elegant and romantic (and met precautions due to covid-19 pandemic).

The entire staff truly goes above and beyond to make each event special. Shout out to Chef Mike, everything he makes is insanely delicious! Some of our favorites are the millionaire bacon, coconut shrimp, brie bites, bacon wrapped scallops, bacon wrapped filet, crab imperial, crab cakes, cheesecake and so many more! Definitely make sure to check out Deerfield's sunday brunch, you won't be disappointed!

One final note is the golf course. This public course is beautifully groomed to perfection. Make sure to visit the golf pros Mike and Ryan to get tips to improve your game. Thanks for everything Deerfield! We will see you again for our future golf and special events.

We really enjoy this restaurant, so I have to give them 5 stars for the food, I'm only writing a review because we were there last night and we noticed that the host is a new young guy. He was learning his job, he was very nice and kind and did an excellent job while we were there. My problem were a few experienced waitresses, they were very mean to him.

There was specifically one lady that created a very hostile environment around this young guy. At one point, she got very close to him and whispered something to his ear and the poor guy, just grab his face. I really wanted to say something to the manager because the table next to our also noticed it. The waitresses with experience should be mentors.

They forgot that they also started without any knowledge. The restaurant could have the best cooks, the best food and the best service but if a customer see what we saw last night, it could curb the appetite to a different place. My son just started working in a restaurant and he's very happy because the managers and waitresses helped him until he learned to do a good job, they are good coworkers. I hope I don't see this again at Deerfield, it would be a shame.

Came here for a $200 dollar per person award banquet were we to receive and award. A very nice venue with views of the golf course. Nice setting for the VIP cocktail party included your normal appetizers. Move into the main ballroom were people were in tuxedos and gowns. This was to be a fancy party. The salad waiting for us at the table was excellent.

This had us thinking the dinner course should be excellent. So now the awards start and the sound system is so bad you can't understand much of what they are talking about. Ok bring on the dinner. I did not take a picture of what they served. It was an over cooked pot roast you would find in a cafeteria line. If your serving roast beef at a $200 per plate dinner it should be the best you ever had.

Came in at 10:45am on a Saturday (as well know probably the busiest time of the week for a golf course) and waited 15 minutes outside of a locked pro shop because the girl working was apparently on the course. Never seen or heard of anything of the like before

We went to this establishment for Mother's Day Brunch. The environment was gorgeous, and looked very fancy. However, the food was not. We paid $64 dollars a person for a breakfast buffet, small salad area, small seafood area, small meat area, and small dessert area. All of the items were made very cheaply. For example, the crab cakes were mainly filler with very little meat.

The meats were not expensive cuts. For $64 dollars I would have expected a bit more attention to what was being offered. In addition, the drinking glasses were very small, and the servers only came back to refill them 1x. I would guess that the glasses hold maybe 6 - 8 oz. Unfortunately, we will not be back. I would rather go to a very nice restaurant, and get a quality meal for my money then to pay this outrageous price for low quality food.

We were here for a friend's wedding, and we had a fun time! Great food - hors d'oeuvres, meal, and dessert - and they offered an Indian meal as well, which was quite unique! The venue was beautiful, with plenty of space for dancing! Only somewhat bummer was that it was a little warm inside, since it was a hot day. Other than that, though, it was a great venue!

Pro: Great event venue! My brother and sister-in-law just got married at this establishment; I offer that they chose wisely in enlisting Deerfield's services. Our "experience coordinator", the amicable and resourceful David, was able to make magic happen. He fielded any and all requests, from "Hey, do you have a specific brand of bourbon?" (comes back with a round of it 8 minutes later), to "Hey, a guest just lost a tooth!

Can you help?" (comes back with denture/cap fixing kit 12 minutes later). Also, the quaint feel of the facility gives a certain feel that makes an emotional event even warmer. Con: None. Bottom Line: Delawarians, give this place a look-over for your upcoming nuptials! I believe you'll be impressed.

Nice Course. Great deal. Was short to play with many do legs and hidden pins. Challenging. Greens were in great shape. Many geese on 10th or 11th hole. Only one cart girl out for the day. Not many fountains or drinks available. Would certainly come back to play!

I really enjoy the golf course. Holes 5-9 are very challenging. Great exercise to walk. The driving range leaves a lot to be desired. Not really where you'd want to go to really iron out your game as the range isn't terrific. The course is good. I like it. Competitively priced.

This is our 3rd year here for Easter and I have never really been impressed but my Mom insists on going. I won't get into the past years because they were 3 to 4 stars and the price was less according to her but this year was a total mess. I never got a refill, never got cracked pepper for the caesar salad even when I asked. There was no steamed/broiled/baked fish of any kind just a pan of fried fish and some smoked salmon that tasted 'off' and they never replenished the chopped red onions and capers while I was there.

The shrimp was very bland and the snow crab legs were sparse and the melted butter was about 1 high in the pot and barely melted and again never got replenished while I was there. The steamship round was cut too thick and tough and the lamb chops were not good at all, tasted like they were cooked earlier and reheated. Some good things from what other people told me were the breakfast items and I had the crab cakes and creamed chipped beef that were pretty good.

I was unable to find tarter sauce anywhere and the cocktail sauce was never replenished. Overall it looked like the last hour of a standard buffet with the difference being this was at $56 per person. I think there was about 20% less food this year. As an after thought, if you went there for breakfast and deserts you most likely would be in heaven if you don't mind that price.

We enjoyed our Sunday Brunch while there. It is pricey but the selection is wide ranging. I made sure not to eat too much to allow myself to visit each and every table. Between the lamb, steak, salads, breakfast items, omlette stations, seafood, pastries and deserts, we got our fill for sure. The service was good and our waiter did a good job. He removed my plates promptly each time I got up to get more food.

My kids said he did great for me but they always came back to dirty plates on the table. That's ok cause their young and my wife and I are paying! For two adults, 3 kids between 11-16 and two memosa's bill was about $180 with tip. Great Brunch and we didn't even need to fix dinner since we were so full!

I've been to Deerfield multiple times for a wedding, holiday dinners, and brunch. The setting is very pretty and the facility is attractive. That alone might be enough for some to consider this as a viable option. The food is average and the service has been acceptable but not extremely attentive. If you or anyone in your party is a vegetarian or vegan the holiday meals and brunch are probably not worth the price.

Also try not to book the last seating on holidays as food options may be more limited. Overall for buffet dining on the holidays this place is a decent option but don't expect the quality food you would get in a fine dining restaurant.

Easter brunch Ten of us were so looking forward to this. For me I was especially looking forward to the raw bar. What a disappointment. The crabcakes were absolutely terrible. They were unrecognizable as a crabcake. The steamed clams were not littleneck clams. Probably some kind of Chinese variety. They were lousy. The shrimp looked beautiful. But every other one was mush The crab legs were very small and served ice cold.

Even the shucked oysters were not edible. For the most part, the rest of the buffet was pretty typical. The only standout was the rack of lamb. Everyone raved about that. $55 a person for the quality of the food on this buffet was way too much. The servers, and staff were phenomenal. Everyone was so friendly and attentive. Can't say enough for them. And the room itself is really beautiful. But we all agreed, that we would not be coming back.

Somewhat pricey but worth every dollar Took my family here for Sunday brunch The service was excellent The food equally as good Third time here Will be back

I took my family here for a Valentine's Day brunch. We made reservations well in advance and it seems like that is something everyone should do, especially on holidays. We were seated promptly at our reservation time and brought to a nice table with plenty of space between us an others. Each table has two servers which sounded great considering how many people were in there.

The servers told us what was at each station, took our drink orders and we were off. The selections were great. There is a bit of everything to choose from. Belgian waffles with lots of toppings, seafood, made-to-order omelettes, carved beef tenderloin and rack of lamb, the usual breakfast fare and some more "dinner-like" foods. For the most part, everything was great.

The rack of lamb was some of the best I've had. Most of the other items were up to par and as expected. Now there were quite a few problems and here's where stars start to drop. 1. They have a smoked salmon area with several types (lox, cherry wood, regular). There were the usual brunch accompaniments of bagels, tomatoes, onions, etc. I grabbed a bagel to start loading it up.

It was already cut in half and solid as a rock. As in, this was probably from two weeks ago solid. The salmons were all very good though. 2. There is a dedicated kids station, which is great! However, kids eat more than chicken fingers and french fries and sugary cereals. It would have been nice if they tried a little harder here. Maybe a decorate your own pancake station or some healthy options there. Granted there is a table with fruit, but it should be front and center here. 3.

The worst offense with the food is the eggs benedict. Each adult can order one made to order. There is the traditional option and a version of veggies. I ordered one to get the full experience. If you don't know, the egg is supposed to be poached and run down over the muffin and bacon when you cut into it. Instead, mine was cooked so long it was hard boiled.

I showed it to the waiter and he had no clue that it wasn't cooked properly after I showed it to him. 4. The service was actually pretty subpar. For having two servers plates stacked up on our table and my coffee cup sat empty for 20 minutes. Aside from getting me my drink and clearing the table, there's really no reason for them to be anywhere but checking on me. Overall the food was good and we enjoyed the majority of it. For $90 for two people (after tip) I expect a heck of a lot more than that.

Wow, what a fantastic Sunday brunch! $38.95/ per person for a huge buffet. We were seated promptly and greeted by our servers. They explained how the food was laid out, and off we went! Don't miss the Millionaire's bacon! Made to order omelettes, Belgian waffles, all kinds of seafood and a carvery. It was worth the money. We will return!

I played this golf course for the first time in a couple years yesterday, it makes me wish that I lived closer to Delaware. The course was in great shape for this time of the year. The falling leaves definitely made finding balls difficult, but even so, the pace of play remained at about 4 1/2 hours (it was also a Sunday during football season). Just a word of caution.

Make sure to bring someone with you who has played the course before, pick up a yardage book at the pro shop or download the course's gps app, as there are multiple blind shots to greens and fairways. The course is also vertically and horizontally pitched. Almost every shot you take will be uphill, downhill, or with the ball below or above your feet. It's a challenging course that is definitely worth checking out.

We also stopped into the restaurant after our round. The buffalo chicken mac and cheese was an unexpected surprise on the menu. It was delicious. Definitely not your typical bar food though. The menu offers some great options for burgers and sandwiches as well. Definitely will be back next season.

Golf course and facility itself is 4/5 star The lunch on the patio afterwards, service was 1 at best ordered drinks.only 1 came, server had to go back ordered lunch and asked to hold 1 item off the sandwich due to allergy, .it was on there anyway.ordered 2 order of fries, only 1 came out.server had to go back after our food was delivered, we did not get any silverware or napkins with it. had to ask another server. was only 2 other tables out there, wasnt busy.just lack of attention on the servers part food was very good.
