Editor's Note: Course closed for business in 05/2019.

Northcliffe Golf & Country Club is one of the most beautiful and well maintained golf courses in the San Antonio and New Braunfels area. The par-72 golf course is enjoyable for the average golfer, yet a challenge to the low-handicap players.

Lots of water, trees and rolling fairways and greens make Northcliffe Golf & Country Club a fun course to play. Players of all skill levels will find this golf course a challenge. It's the closest course to Retama race track, so you heavy betters can have a full day and night. The Northcliffe Golf & Country Club staff is user friendly and professional.

Overall had a good time.

Course and facilities were nice enough to enjoy playing the game. Ran into a marshal 5 times during 18 holes who would remind you what not to do or where to go. Felt like you were being babysat at times which took away from enjoying the game. Overall had a good time.

Course was in good shape, a few of the greens needed some work but other than that it was nice. Fairways super green and Marshall's really on top of things there.

This was a fun course. The greens are not in the best condition, but hopefully that's just a seasonal thing.

Decent time

The fairways were in great shape as a result of recent rains. The greens were a different story. Bumps and and clumps made for tough putting. Overall it was a good time, the facilities are clean and the starters were very friendly..

greens are in horrible shape.

Course layout was fine and with recent rains the fairways were in decent shape. The greens were a different story. A few were extremely bad and just about all of them had at least a few rough spots, particularly close to the flag.

My round

Tee boxes and fairways were in pretty good condition but the greens were not in as good as shape as they have been as I do play the course pretty often. It did rain which caused the greens to play rougher since they were not in good condition.

Rough greens

The course is a fun little challenge. The sand traps look like they hadn't been raked in days and we were the first group out in the morning. The greens were some of the worst I've seen. They had lumps and bumps and chunks out of them. The grass was when there was grass was very bladed which wouldn't allow the ball to roll true.

Needs Work

Enjoyed the course, but greens were in very bad condition (bumpy and bare). Tee boxes need watering (most difficult time I have ever had putting tees in the ground). Would like to see more money going into the course and not just remodeling the clubhouse and adding a restaurant that will not go over. A nice grill with burgers and sandwiches would be better than an Asian grill.

Considering the Drought

The course has many spots that are affected by the recent drought. However, the course is in far better shape than others in the neighborhood.
Staff reminds all who play to protect the grass as much as possible.

Rewards good play but strokes can add up if not careful

Overall a good course to enjoy the game. Some short holes but you still have to be straight off the tee to score. Greens overall need work (bare spots/maybe some disease) but they still roll well. A good course to walk as it is not hilly. Marshalls do a decent job tracking pace of play.

Fun, But Rough Around the Edges

This tract was built in the 1970s as a part of a housing development along IH 35. It was located too far from town and the houses did not sell.
Thirty years later they are in the middle of a housing boom.
The course is a Joe Finger design and it's "a
fun to play" layout. There are lots of dry areas around fairways and greens. The fairways are very uneven and bumpy. A lot of the infrastructure needs repair.
They do a good job of Marshall control here.
We had the misfortune to run into a visiting scramble tournament.
Half the greens are OK, but many have large areas of bare spots. Many of the teeing areas are uneven, specially the ladies tees.
This was a fun course to play, even with all the
issues. It's a good deal with Golf Now.

Can't beat under $20 green fee

Best value for money and moderately easy. Green need work but they roll as intended, bit uneven.

The course overall is OK.
