Deer Creek

Deer Creek is an upscale neighborhood and recreation destination in northeast Ajax, widely recognized as the “Jewel of Durham Region.” The area is anchored by the Deer Creek Golf & Banquet Facility, a premier 54-hole public golf complex that features the championship-level North Course—noted for its challenging “Black Pearl” island green—and the more player-friendly South Course. Beyond the greens, the facility is a top-tier venue for large-scale weddings and corporate events, boasting elegant ballrooms and a popular gastropub, Jerry’s Taphouse. The surrounding community is characterized by luxury estate homes on sprawling one-acre lots, nestled against the protected conservation lands of the Oak Ridges Moraine. With easy access to the horseback riding stables of the Ajax Riding Academy and the expansive trail networks of the nearby Greenwood Conservation Area, Deer Creek offers a blend of high-end leisure and rugged natural beauty.
