Deerfield
(Editors, Upstate)
Bordered by White Clay Creek State Park, Deerfield is a beautiful yet challenging public track managed by Forewinds Hospitality. The signature Hole 10 is a 536-yard par 5 with a breathtaking view that will cause aggressive drivers no end of grief. (Watch the pond on the left—you can’t see it from the tee.) After your round, the Pub & Grille is ready and waiting with 12 beers on tap and various drink specials.
