Deer Island Country Club (formerly known as International Golf Club) is unique in that it is a 400-acre course with a lake surrounding it from all sides. The unique island location of the golf course winds through environmentally protected Florida wetlands, providing beautiful scenery as well as abundant wildlife. Deer Island Country Club layout features strategically placed sand bunkers that surround the undulating greens and wide fairways. Water also comes into play on most holes. One of the most challenging holes is the par-3 13th hole, which requires a tee shot that must carry the entire length of the lake and usually the tricky crosswinds that sweep International Golf Club make it even more difficult.

- Amazing value in Orlando area. Course is in amazing condition. This course demands strategy - not a bombers course, but a lot of fun. Pro Shop and bar staff are wonderful. Pace of play has been very good at less than 4 hours for 18.We played this course in February and it was amazing! The staff was super friendly and the course was top 5 in my opinion in the Orlando area. It’s located literally on an island and has plentiful wetlands and nature. It is a feat of engineering that they could even build a course around all the water and wetlands. It had beautiful greens and some tough tee shots. I would highly recommend this course to locals or travelers looking to play a fun round and get a true Florida golf experience
