Deerpark is the original modern championship course configuration at Fota Island Resort. The course was developed in 1993 by Christy O'Connor Jnr and Peter McEvoy. Beginning in 1998, Jeff Howes Golf Designs carried out a major redevelopment to European Tour standards, rebuilding all 18 greens, redeveloping tees and redesigning several holes; the course reopened in September 1999.
Deerpark subsequently hosted the Irish Open in 2001 and 2002, and Fota Island again hosted the event in 2014. The later addition of nine Jeff Howes-designed holes in 2007 created a 27-hole complex from which Deerpark, Belvelly and Barryscourt are configured. Historical official Fota material identifies Deerpark as par 71.
The course is an 18-hole parkland golf course. Designed by Peter McEvoy and Christy O'Connor Jnr, the course originally opened in 1993. It is open to resort guests. On-site facilities include Clubhouse, Golf Academy, Driving Range, Practice Facilities, Pro Shop, Restaurant, Lodge, Suite.

Jeff Howes Golf Designs began a major redevelopment in 1998. All 18 greens were rebuilt, tees were redeveloped and several holes redesigned before the course reopened in September 1999. Nine additional holes were added in 2007.
The redevelopment helped establish Fota as a European Tour venue, with Deerpark hosting the 2001 and 2002 Irish Opens.
Deerpark remains one of three named 18-hole configurations created from Fota Island's 27-hole golf complex.
