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. Ive been driving by this course for a few years and finally had a chance to play this week - Im 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 Ive 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. Theyve got early bird and late start rates as well. Overall, this is a solid course thats got a nice layout, isnt super long (6300 from the tips) and will make you think about many of your shots. Its a small step up from a three star course given the character of the holes, but its a ways from a 5 star course given the limitations since its located in a city. Well worth your time if youre looking for a fun round on a sunny afternoon.

This is my "home" course I golf at weekly. For a public/city run course, this isnt a terrible experience. The front (new) and back (old) nines 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, dont 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 dont 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.

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.

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.

Cant 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.

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.

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"

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

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

Probably the golf course with the best grass around the area. Beautiful
