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.

Poor greens, slow play, bargain prices

Played on a Saturday, you may have a different experience during the week. The fairways are in pretty good shape. The greens were not the worst I have seen, but they only rate a 2 out of 10. There are at least 4 different grasses growing on every green; there are dead areas on every green; the greens are cut at different heights; etc. I only had one putt roll true, so don't believe the advertising. All the putts in my foursome bounced all the way to the hole and usually bounced off line. Also, the pace of play was about 5 1/2 hours, second longest round of golf in my life. Two players in our group left after hole 15. There was an extremely slow group of 5 two groups in front of ours that seemed to be the problem. There were marshals, but they did not know how to handle the slow groups. Try again in a year, perhaps they will be successful making some changes. If you are a junior or a beginning golfer, this course is for you - slow play, bargain prices, easy course - a good place to learn the game.

Course did not transition to 2013 well

The greens were in bad shape and there was a lot of water/mud around the course. I really enjoyed playing there last year but it did not transition to 2013 well. A nice layout but not in good shape.

Good couse.

Front desk staff not friendly at all. We were at 13 th hole and we had already hit the 6 hour mark! Marshalls kept telling us that the pace was going to get better! We gave up on 15!

Staff

Don't remember the guys name, but we got rained out after nine holes and the older gentleman working in the club house was not going to give our third member a rain check just because he left his receipt in the cart and the cart attendants had already cleaned his cart out. This was after that same guy had closed our third members tab out from the cart girl. The starters and cart attendants are very friendly but watch out for the office staff they are shady and very rude.

Good course for the price

Greens were not in very good shape. Alot of rough brown spots. With the hot weather coming, I think it is going to get worse before it gets better. Water, Water, Water?

would be fun if greens were in better shape

greens were in really bad shape. Shaggy in spots, bumpy, bare in spots. Could be a really fun course, but I will not go back unless the greens improve alot.

Front 9 printine, back 9 terrible, like two different courses.

One of the guys I paired with told me that they were in the red for a while. Cheap though, they need to pay attention to the back and they will have a nice course.

Nice course, greens need some attention.

Greens were a bit rough (bumpy) and probably could use a makeover otherwise the course is in pretty good condition. Staff very friendly.3

DONT GO!

Absolute garbage. Wasn't welcomed at all. Mean old men that apparently don't want our business. Marshal was driving all over the place, holding up the pace of play. Disturbing golfers with his cart. Very unnecessary. Greens are in horrible shape. Course gets no maintenance. Not even worth $5.00. The course description is a load of manure. Go to landa park! Its in great shape!

this course needs TLC
