Deer Brook is on the north side of Shelby about 45 minutes west of Charlotte.

The course is part of a residential real estate development with a few homes scattered along the fairways but through mostly natural borders with unique and isolated holes. The layout is a parkland style design with trees lining the fairways, multiple water features, and a liberal use of sand traps throughout. It was designed by Rick Robbins and Brian Lussier and from tips is 6,950 yards, 74.1/139, course/slope ratings with three shorter tees.
