This is a beautiful course and is my favorite place to golf. Some holes are super challenging and others are pretty easy. Any skill level will fit in here. The staff here is awesome and accommodating. Highly recommend.

Jack Czerwinski

Great place, but for a wedding venue they have a ton of rules and arent very flexible on them.

Matt Fisher

Good 9 hole course run by the city of Coralville. Staff is always attentive and course is well maintained.

Pat Decker

Awesome scenery.. great food. Fast service

Sally Fisher

Was there recently for a function and it was poor. They could not stop the music so we could start our program. Paid $7.00 for glass of wine and the glass was all spotted. The windows we all finger printed up inside and out. Not enough seating and no one around to provide more chairs we had to go look for them ourselves and bring them in. Water was empty and no one refilled it. No one picking up plates off the tables. I really expected much more from an establishment that hosts wedding and other functions. Will not recommend for that kind of money.

Nicole Cullen

Fun challenging golf course.

Cozy, nice and good food.

Matthew schmitt

A great course to play for all talent levels. Front 9 is a great wide open warmup and the back 9 is the most fun in the area.

Daniel White

Great place

Daniel K. Fox

Great course!

Matt Uhlman

True greens, picturesque tee blocks, plenty of water and sand traps as well as a number of challenging holes that make you think greeted our group on the back 9 at Brown Deer. I've been driving by this course for a few years and finally had a chance to play this week - I'm bummed I waited this long to play! A great course located just over the hill from downtown Coralville. The front nine is relatively wide open, but has a number of holes that make you think and is upkept as well as any course I've played. The back nine is equally impressive, but with a much more difficult layout. Some great holes have severe doglegs where placement is really important - nothing like the Amana course for those from the area, but a nice change from a completely open course. The rates are fantastic early in the season with 9 holes for $15 when you walk as well as $26 for 18. They've got early bird and late start rates as well. Overall, this is a solid course that's got a nice layout, isn't super long (6300 from the tips) and will make you think about many of your shots. It's a small step up from a three star course given the character of the holes, but it's a ways from a 5 star course given the limitations since it's located in a city. Well worth your time if you're looking for a fun round on a sunny afternoon.

Besides being a great place to golf , it was a very nice facility to have a tennis banquet and awards ceremony.

Dan Schaefer

Love this course.

Kami Kinzebach

Charlie Allen

It was not crowded so you could get around fast

Richard Laffoon

Friendly staff and beautiful course

Byron Keefe

Great course, just a little pricey.

Lou Datilio

Greens were rough for the price.

STARKE

Expensive and I just don't like the golf course. Never have its to goofy. but it's like a lot of things that people pay money for they have to believe it's good. It's not.

Brian Hoffman

Great service. Good food. Excellent golf. If you're in the area, do it.

Jason Hute

Nice course

Ronnie Nicolaus

A great staff excellant food and a well kept facility

David Bozaan

Challenging and fun golf course that is maintained in very good condition. Many holes have very nice views. One of only a few courses in the Iowa City area with bent grass fairways (also Finkbine and BlueTop RIdge in Riverside). Pro shop staff are knowledgeable and friendly, and they offer golf lessons. The driving range has numerous flags and yardage signs to hit to from wedges to driver, and their is a putting and chipping green.

Craig Golucki

Very nice course. Great layout. Being from Chicago this course had some great elevation changes.

Michael McCullough

Fairly open course, some elevation change and greens were always well manicured. Impressed by clubhouse/restaurant staff; friendly and helpful each time we visited! Great place to play, fellow golfers friendly and rates are not outrageous. Played 4-5 times last year and plan on at least doubling that number in '18!

Cindy Myers

Relaxing afternoon riding with my guys! Clean and friendly atmosphere.

Matthew McGee

Good course with fun holes BUT expect long wait times at each hole as apparently they have no ranger and let out way too many people out on the course. A round of 9 took us 2 and half hours.

Patrick Buehner

Fairways and greens were in bad shape. Drove from CR to play here, CR public courses are in better shape.

Simon Manser

Great golfing experience

Craig Ash

Great Facility!

Dan Suh

My favorite course in the Iowa City/Coralville area. Front 9 is like a link style course while the back 9 is a bit shorter and tight along the fairways

PHILLIP KILCREASE

A pretty good dining experience!

Colin Thimmel

Great course. Great staff. They run a great summer special

Robert Martin

NvrEngh

Gorgeous place to golf, staff prompt and courteous...

William Albert

Wish people who played here took better care of course. Repair divots and ball marks , follow cart path rules in wet weather.

Dave Ricklefs

Bestball tournament ran real well. Course in good shape for all the rain we have had.

Ryan Ceynar

Has a nice large lodge, and ample parking. The golf course is large with a tunnel going under the road that divides it. It has a pretty little Creek running through it as well. It has a very large hill which is great for sledding in the winter.

Gavin Koch

Pretty good fishing, usually catch at least 80 bass

R Norton

Love the views and the carts have GPS.

Tanner H

Beautiful course !!!

Steve Morey

This is a nice golf course in a beautiful setting. The course was in great shape when I played there.

Ron Farni

9/26/13 Very much enjoyed this course. Thought the views were fantastic. First time I played there. Thought the staff was excellent, very friendly. Price is good, would certainly play there again. The second time around at least you know where to hit the ball on the back nine.

kimberly wheeler

Beautiful day!

Tony Foss

A 18 hole course with 2 different 9's. Front nine open with elevation changes and the back nine with lots of trees and tight fareways.

steve flaucher

Mark Post

Great venue for friend and family gatherings.

Tony Franks

The course is in great shape, staff is very accomadating, be aware Amber says she will be right back "7 hole slater i get a snickers bar"

Bill Brasky

This is my "home" course I golf at weekly. For a public/city run course, this isn't a terrible experience. The front (new) and back (old) nine's are completely different. The front 9 is fairly open with some hazards and trouble spots. The back 9 is intermingled through a housing development and can get tight, especially if you spray the ball off the tee. Pace of play is great during the week, weekends, don't even bother making a tee time unless you have 6 hours to spare. The club house has great food and is a nice environment. Just don't show up on a league nights unless you want to see a rowdy crowd and bartenders dancing on tables. My biggest issues with Brown Deer are the greens are always in terrible shape (need to hand out free divot tools or make signs asking golfers to replace divots), there are several dead spots on many of the holes/greens, and their mowing staff continues mowing while you play.

Barry Tobin

Decent course

Steve Shield

First time golfing at Brown Deer great course and will be back great shape.

Drew Muilenburg

Always in great shape for a fun round!

Eben Krapfl

Was here for a wedding, and the place was very nice.

mattjm3542

Friendly staff and a nice course! Greens were fast and the fairways were well maintained.

JC Moreau

The best public golf course in Eastern Iowa and the staff is great, scenery is gorgeous and Divots bar & grill is one of the best kept secrets in town!

Charlie Shannon

Very Nice Club House !

Ottis Bunning

Can't go wrong with this great city-owned golf course. Excellent condition with a great staff from top to bottom. Course is always in great shape & is challenging but not overwhelming. Good for any level of golfer. Divots Bar & Restaurant has great food & drinks. I wish they would/could bring back 'twilight specials' like they offered 3 years ago. $20 unlimited holes (after 6pm) during the Summer until dark.
