Gary P: Great course in Springfield!

Corey Andron: Green

Suzy Luke: Good food. Can't wait till their full menu is back!

Troy Dawson: Had a grip put on guy puts the grip design on the back side of the club.

Rit. G.: It was a nice to connect with nature loved it

Wade Frescoln: Greens were fast, fairways were lush and easy to hit off, and the tee boxes were fabulous. Didn't have real clear visuals of distance from the greens. But the carts were comfy and had water to drink in lots of places.

Eve Summer: Love this place!

Louis Lathan: CLEAN

Brenda H: This course was not in good shape. For being called “The Greens”, there was nothing green about it. All the grass was brown and under watered. Putting green... What’s that? It looked just like the fairway, but worse.Oh they had also just aerated the greens, but never disclosed this to us before paying. No discount for this.Pricing is also pretty steep. Cart fee alone is $25/person. Not worth your time.

Magnus Bock: Man named homer was a great golfing frend of mine. His son BARTHERMOLIU would not stop skating on the course though. Overall the course was fun but needs beta security

David Cross: Best Coffee ☕ in Town

Gerry Perry: Not open

BIG_GAME_ WAYNE: I don't appreciate your business treating your loyal customers that are BLACK (10 years or better LOYAL service) with blatant disrespect. It must be a daily practice cause your doing nothing to better the problem.

Halls Emdown: Cool lil spot

White Brothers Baseball: Molding my game 1 bad drive at a time. Been in close to 15 fistfights here. Undefeated

Trey Eckols: Booked a tee time on a Friday afternoon through their website. My receipt showed as the weekday price of $18 per person however when I arrived I was charged the weekend price of $25 per person and was told that there would be no carts allowed on the course. There was no indication or warning if this on the website and I was told to check the Facebook page next time. The cart paths were unfinished and confusing, not to mention fully underwater in some places. The course was in terrible condition, fairways had bare patches and the rough in most areas was completely out of control. The “sand” in the bunkers all over the course were completely gravel, and the greens were some of the worst maintained and slowest I have ever played. For $25 to walk 9 holes, this is by far the worst courses for your money in the area. Save yourself some frustration and play somewhere else.

Tom Kassner: Deer LK is the worst facility that I have played in over 50 yrs of golf.There is nothing positive to sayThe course is brutal to say the least.Carts are dirty.ect.Spend a couple of bucks more & play a decent place.

Ken Stufflebeam: Poorly maintained, poorly staffed. Needlessly cut down many trees last year, I assume to lessen maintenance. Springfield Park Board courses are much better. This used to be a nice course.

jason congdon: Enjoyed the round

Dan Noble: I had a membership at a Great Life golf course, Dear Lake, and couldn’t believe the disrepair of the course. The reason for this poor management! It was unfair, unreasonable, and unprofessional. This lack of service ranged from the dishonesty of onsite management, the low standards, and improper acts of employees, especially the Golf Pro, and maintenance crew, and the poor membership contract to mention a few areas. If considering membership there think twice; I know I would never recommend it to anyone nor will I play it.

Phil Rahn: I play all three of the Springfield area courses and find them challenging. The personnel are super friendly and helpful. I love the Christmas picture! These people have the Christmas spirit all year long with their smiles. Todd, what a handsome young man. Not you, but your son. Ha,Ha

Brad Beach: This was a nice course but has fallen into disrepair. There are other, better options in the area. I hope they turn it around as it can be a fun place to play.

James Robertson: Worked out at the fitness facility for several years pre-2020. The entire building was leaking and covered in black mold and the window panes were literally warped with water damage in the club house. I came by today and it looked like they had at least put a coat of paint on it. I hope they fixed the underlying issue.

Craig Jones: This course is the worst I've ever played. Fairways are like pastures and the greens had trenches running across it, so putting was impossible. Would never recommend this course to anyone.

Josh Wells: Course was in horrible shape. Tee boxes and fairways were indistinguishable from the rough. Greens were terrible and the cart could barely get up hills. Not worth the green fee at all. I won’t be back.

KJunk Gjfcrgjcgrjc: This pace would make a cow pasture more desirable to play. Our car was so noisy, we could hardly talk over it. Many of he fairways looked like they were under construction, very rough play. Clippings from the mower was everywhere. The second cut wasn’t, way too high. The greens did roll well though.Used the restroom and it was okay but the hall didn’t have the light on and could have caused an accident.

Christina Nuttall: Read the fine PRINT! My family joined for $15 amonth after a year our rate was bumped up to $27 a person and we recieved no notification of this! After contacting the company we were told they sent and email which we didn't recieve. Also that they renewed our contract for another year and that in order to cancel your membership you have to fill out a form by February 28th they automatically renew on April 1st and can't be canceled for another year even with the spike in rates. I emailed numerous people in the company and being first time members, I will never join again! I'm use to contracts lasting a hear but after a year I've never seen one that automatically renewed me for another year of paying with out my permission and not being able to canceled:( Bad business!

Randy Bates: Played tournament under very wet conditions...course well maintained

keith coons: If you are a high handicap golfer, you had better bring lots of balls. Course is terrible with extremely high rough next to fairway. If you are off the fairway( number 10 fairway has a strip of rough running down the middle to lose balls in, seriously) you will be trying to find balls in 5-8 inch rough. you will have everyone in your group looking for a ball that misses the fairway by 5-10 yards. TERRIBLE. Guy at clubhouse said they were going to leave it high. I will drop membership if they can`t keep the course fair for weekend golfer. don`t think they have any idea how to maintain a public golf course. Can`t even give a 1 star, but have to to post

seldon essex: 4 stars, only because the grounds are under construction, very difficult to follow the tees. Needs better signs for people that have not played there much this year. Also need to open the hot dog griller. Still love the course. Course is coming on nicely, surprisingly well due to the past week of rain. Played 9 holes today, haven't gotten to play the back 9 since it was closed last week. I do hope they do better with food selection. Waiting to see.

Lee McIntosh: A great place to play golf

Craig Gilliam: Absolutely the worse course I have played in my 40 years of golf. Will never play this course again!

Jake V.: Was trying to check when my subscription was ending, ended up getting placed on hold for 10+minutes for a something that should've taken less than a minute. Dude never took my name or number or any information. ended up hanging up and just calling Great Life, was able to get an answer in less than 5 minutes. Not the first time I've had issues with Deer Lake.

Denise Dunaway: The staff was nice but the course was not. Do not use the bathroom on the course unless you are desperate. The fairway was basically rough in most places because they hadn’t mowed.

misty robinhood: Beautiful golf course

Gilbert Brannon: I love this place! I can go for a date night, with a group of friends, or even for a family night with the kids.

Joey Gutirrez: Might as well just go golfing at an actual course with prices they charge and service they offer. Actually might be cheaper. Me and a couple buddies went to go and had a great time golfing. Service and price on drinks and food was absolutely insane.Domestic Beer buckets are $16 on the menu but $26 a piece when the check came by. And that was during their “happy hour”. First beer bucket came by 5 minutes after ordered but the second one took 30 minutes to come out! Why does it take 30 minutes to unscrew the caps off 5 coors light bottles?!?! And then get charged double what the menu price was?! Are you kidding me? 10 coors lights set me and my buddies back $50+ before asking for a tip. This place makes Big Shots look like a steal of a deal. Either there was a mistake or some sort of error but $26 for a beer bucket with 5 beers is wild.The icing on the cake was going to leave. As we get in our cars we see our server, who took 30 minutes to get us 5 coors lights, talking to some guy in a car outside the building. Instead of our waitress grabbing us our $6 a piece beers she was out the whole time talking to someone.This was the most asinine experience of golfing I’ve ever experienced. The worst part is it had nothing to do with the golfing itself. Me and my buddies had a great time golfing, service ruined it.

Linda Reis: Didn't really feel that welcome. We aren't regulars because its kinda high priced. Our waiter was ok tho.

Chad Stephens: Place is great , 👍 good food and fun

Billy Gourley: It was ok.

Matt Fortner: Not just for golfing...Hidden gem for date night. My wife and I like the drinks and the food. And they had a touch tunes so I could play all the music I like. We will be back.

erik bucio: Completely disappointed to say the least. A co-worker and I are in town for a few weeks and were recommend to this place. I was surprised by their 5 dollar first time registration fee in addition to their hourly rate. The server didn't attended us nearly 20 min into play. I understand if Friday's are their busy days, but only (2) bays were in use while we were there. The dryness, unfriendlyness and almost feeling unwelcome from the server changed the mood. Ordered 1 drink each. We mustered our time 1hr since we already paid up the a@@. At check out my co-worker and noticed on the receipt that the server helped her self to a 1.08 tip each tkt. NOT earned. Never coming back!

M: Fun is only as far or as close as your clubs can drive them

Andy Pirtle: We (two couples) had 9 o'clock pm reservations for two lanes, showed up few mins early to check in. The two guys at the front counter informed us that they will only be open for 15 more mins because they simply were not busy enough to stay open. Made sure to tell us they told the several other groups that were there that there time was going to be cut short too. Clearly the $90 plus whatever extras we would have spent was not as important as whatever these two had to go do. It was 9 o'clock and the sign clearly says till midnight.

Curtis Baker: Nice alternative to Big Shots but don't expect it to be just like it. Food was okay and the prices are reasonable. Driving range is fair. Accomodations were subpar. It is a place to kill a few hours but I wouldn't call it a destination.

Amy Blomenkamp: Nice, clean, and friendly service. Open driving range that serves pub fare.

DameZ: Chill and relaxing place. Good food

Sandy Hu Missouri: Good food, good service and fun to watch the folks hitting the golf balls.

Bekah Eklund: The staff was very friendly but the driver clubs they offered for $10 were all bent and destroyed. They did give us a refund for that though, which was much appreciated! The actual game play was super fun, and we had a blast! Haven’t ever been to a place that charges you money for being a “first time customer”. That was pretty odd and off-putting.

Ashley Combs: We hosted our company Christmas Party at Backwoods Golf this past Saturday. We had fantastic service and everyone in our group had a great time!! Thank you Backwoods for the hospitality.

Sheila Dool: It was not bad. We enjoyed it. We would like to go back when it warms up to golf. The food was pretty good

K L: Nice place!Friendly service. Enjoyed the facility!

Donald Norris: Great time to relax with our sales team. Friendly staff and great food options.

Heath Mahaney: This is what ya call a good time.. was crazy fun

Dennis Driver: A really fun place
