Deep Cliff Golf Course

I’ve been playing at this course for a couple years now. I am in no way a good golfer, mid 20’s handicap, I have always tried to be fair in rating this course. But, it’s in horrible condition. There isn’t a level t box on the course. They are in poor shape. Patchy grass at best with dirt. Those spongy mats are a joke! Fairways poor at best. I believe it’s #11 that has a big hole in the middle just past the dogleg, or a trench. Where there is grass it is very thin. Have to move the ball to get descent contact.

If you are a scratch golfer or even in the low teens, I suppose it’s a lot easier for you. But, I would guess there’s more folks like me than scratch or low teen golfers

The flag on #15 is always behind the sand bunker. It should be moved over away once in a while,

The folks in the golf shop and the starter are polite and friendly

Don’t take this short course for granted. If you are not good with wedges or have problems hitting it straight, this course will eat you alive!!

There are plenty of obstacles to give you more than enough grief!

Plenty of overhanging trees. The roughs are brutal. If you hit one out of bounds don’t even try to find it. Creek separating two of the holes.

It’s not in the best of shape tho. T boxes, and fairways are not well kept.

The greens are ok.

Be prepared.

Shop and grill folks polite and friendly

This would not be considered a challenging course to many experienced players, but nestled into the edge of the mountains it is a very pretty and relaxing way to play a round of golf. The staff is always pleasant, kind and considerate; and I have yet to meet/be paired with anyone but the nicest people in golf. My golf partners and I bounce around to various Bay Area courses, but we always find our way back to Deep Cliff.

I needed a place to play with out-of-town friends and I am also from out of town. We had an 8 am time on Saturday, we walked, probably went a bit slower than we could have (our fault) and finished the mostly par 3 and certainly not long few par 4 18 holes in about 4 hours.

, it is a unique and scenic place nestled in the foothills. It has lots of trees and water which makes it interesting. I love long irons and short irons and this course is perfect for this. I left my driver, 3 wood in the trunk. You can play this course easily with 4 clubs. Greens were soft, recently punched and sanded but clearly in good shape. traps were good.

The reviews I read in advance were mixed. Anyone who thinks it is a bad course needs to appreciate it for what it is. Yes some t boxes are designed to play off mats. If the , mats were replaced,it woudl be fone.

Can get backed up on a nice day.. Bunch of part

3 and 4s. Fairways are real narrow too but greens are nice.

Overall fun easier course. Plays faster in the AM but really clogs up mid-day. Tee boxes are often first or mats. Bunkers stay wet most days, and not well maintained( but that's all munis I think).

Greens were well groomed and smooth, but rough areas around the greens had many ruts and weeds. Fairways were quite soggy in spots.

By far the most interesting golf course I've ever been to. I only decided on this course because of it's decent ratings. The other players were just goofy and taking so long on purpose not fixing the divots or the crazy digging spots they made. There was no one to tell them anything. Every single hole is next to each other so just know you can get hit by balls at any given point. You can't even be ready because no one yells fore. Greens were only okay by the time you get close to the hole. Other than that all you'll see is sand, dirt, goose feces, and trash. Sometimes finding the tee box is hard.

I'll never come back here again.

Deep Cliff is a classic short 18. Well groomed greens. And putting too. Summer time longer play is a common thing. So bring your patience. Avg play time will be about 4 hours. However it’s golf and gold. So come to play and kill some of that wait time with a couple brews.
