Wow, I've had a good time at Deer Island before, and I'm glad to see it is in nice shape....BUT
There are over 1,000 courses in Florida and this wouldn't register in my top 100. Favorite course in all of Florida? Wow. Rock Springs Ridge isn't very far from there, ditto Errol Estate. I like both of those places a lot more than DI. Sugarloaf, Mission Inn, and Bella Colina are pretty close in the other direction. Lots in the surrounding area.
