Management was arrogant.

Management enforced rules selectively, and they were very arrogant towards a senior citizen. Went back and played after not playing there for years at this course where my son first learned how to play, and the course seemed to have improved in many ways, but the management was a big disappointment as I had never been treated this way at this course before. I felt like someone paid them to harass me, and this would never have happened when Mr. Montalban was the manager.

Fun course, a little rough

A fun “executive 18-hole” with a few quirks. The fairways can be a little rough and the overhead power lines infuriating, but this track can be a lifesaver when looking for tee times late in the week. Very walkable, with a good amount of shade for those hot South Bay days.

Slow Play/Darkness

No monitor of slow players and their slow play.

We played behind 4 players who each took 7-8 shots per hole (even though they had 1 cart).

No one from course was anywhere to be found to push them faster.

Their slow play stopped us from finishing 7 holes--even though paid for 18--before darkness made it impossible to continue.

Felt robbed.

First Time Playing

Don’t waste your money

If you’re a nature lover, it’s a great place to go and take pics of the wildlife. As far as golf goes, the course is in poor condition and the greens were sanded. If they advertised that, I never would’ve booked it. There were also groups of kids (6-7 per group) playing and being loud. Had a twosome in front of me who were blasting their music. I don’t recommend this place for a competitive golfer, but I would definitely recommend it for kids and beginners.

Slow Saturday afternoon

Beautiful layout and peaceful surroundings with huge trees make for an excellent setting. Pace of play was excruciating. Waiting on every tee and though we were supposed to start at 4.08 we could only finish 12 holes and that was after a lot of people quit at 9.

Beautiful setting

Course is set amongst tall trees and a winding stream. Mostly short par 3’s with 3 par 4’s on each 9. A good variety of holes. Tees were nearly all in poor shape and the greens were a bit bumpy since most don’t repair their pitch marks. Speed was ok. The COVID 19 requirement for not touching the flagstick was handled by having the cup up so you just had to hit that to hole out. Not very satisfying and also a bit easier than having to get the ball in the hole.

Could be Better

The Starters are about the friendliest anywhere. The Proshop staff could smile more, but then again, we're in a pandemic. The course is fun and relatively easy. I enjoy the conditions of the greens (smooth and true).

The price is too much for a walking course without Par 5's.

Nice course during Covid-19

Today is really hot 102F. But this course has a lot of trees and shadows. No water served so need to bring your own. Benches have warning signs not to use. Nice rest room near pro shop, one person/one time. Hole with rings and easy putt/chip in.

Overpriced and slow place

Premium pricing for a short course. You'd be better of spending an extra $10 - $20 to play a regular golf course.

Early Morning on Sunday

Was the first group out at 6:30 and the greens were a little wet and slow but once sun came out about hour into round greens were in pretty good shape. Finished round in 2 1/2 hours great to get done before work. Love to get a round in under 3:30 hours.

Not for awhile

Very disappointed with the conditions of the course overall. Badly in need of water! The fairways are bare of grass and the greens are in need of care. Pace of play was extremely slow.

Not worth it

I’ve play this beautiful little course many times for a few years and always enjoyed the round.. However, it’s been awhile and I was thoroughly disappointed with the conditions. The fairways are down to bare dirt and the greens are terrible. I won’t be back there for along while!

It was the best day of gold with 2 pals who'd never played at Deep Cliff before. They enjoy the course and the fine weather.
