One of the Best Executive Courses I have ever seen

This was an awesome find on golf now for $16 in the afternoon on a monday. I have an awesome time playing this golf course. A good mix of tough and easy holes (more on the easy side). Tons of fun for both beginners and advanced golfers. If you are looking to enjoy yourself with your buddies this is a great place to go!

Much improved

Last year it was all tore up and in awful shape, now grass is redone and greens are better good job a fun short course

Still typical slow play due to many "new players " but understand they have to learn

Wish they had a solution for that

Marshal on duty did help move them along

We love this place!

Been a while since we were here, but we can see the improvements (cement cart paths). The fairways and greens were for the most part in excellent condition, and we could not have asked for better weather or better prices on our rounds. Everyone there is friendly and helpful. A hidden gewel in Silicon Valley!

20 Years Later!

It has been approximately 20 years since I have played this course and it is still one of the prettiest places to golf. The little stream cutting through the course, the deer walking through the fairways, the little bunny rabbits, baby quail and the alligator lizards! I brought my son with me and this was the first round of golf he and I have played together. We had a great time and we plan on returning in the near future.

The matts need to go

Played Deep Cliff today after a long time again. The course is in excellent condition. But the matts need to go. They want you to tee of matts on more than half the holes. However the tee boxes are in pristine conditions. This makes a short course even shorter. After the round I went to the pro shop to complain, only to hear that the matts are permanent. They lost my business.

Yeah, I know longer play there due to the matts. It's a shame, it is a pretty course and good for short game tune-up...but the matts are really lame

Greatly improved

The improvements made last year have done wonders for the course. And the additional rain did not hurt.

There are still some trees that need to be trimmed back (9).

This is a great executive course and the price is good. I play it often

Go play early

Course was in good shape. Hitting off mats that need special tees on many holes but that's because they're working on the teeboxes.

I started at 2 and the pace of play was good. When I got 9 I could see the train of people lining up at 1.

This then bled over to people starting on the back 9.

Attached picture is when I was completing the 18th.

Beautiful

Beautiful settings for a short 18 holes. The greens were pretty slow and in OK shape. The pole in the middle of the fairway is 100 yds, not the typical 150. Other than that a really nice day.

Easy walk for Seniors

WE got a hot deals round so it was well worth the money. Lots of improvements including a very friendly staff. Short course very easy front nine and much longer back nine. Ruff was a little long making the fairways a must to land on.

Good value

Overall condition of the greens and fairway have improved from the renovation. Not sure if the par 4 holes were shorten because of the Jr. Tournament that day. It's too bad that many of the Par 3s use mats instead of real turf. One of the holes was shorten with a temporary green. I hope it's just trmporary.

It's a good short course to practice since I have not played for a long while. It's a good value if you can get the Hot Deals.

An Enjoyable Course

I haven't played Deep Cliff in 5-6 years. It is evident that there is a lot of work going on to improve the condition of the course. I do hope the mats on many of the tees are temporary or only when conditions are too wet for grass tees. With the cliffs on one side of the course, it is a scenic location in the heart of a residential area.

The course can be a fun place to practice your short to mid-iron shots to greens. Also, it would be a good place for beginners and short hitters. The par 4's don't require a driver to be playable. But, the fairways can be narrow. Walking is easy on this course.

The pace of play was rather slow the first nine, but several groups quit at the turn so this picked up the pace.

Deep Cliff Review

Course is in much better shape since the renovations have been completed. Tee boxes use to be in horrendous shape. All par 3's have a mat that you hit off of on the tee box. Different but not bad. Good course for the price.

Course Marshall Inappropriate

Took my friends here for the their first time. A couple of them are new to golf. In the middle of the round the Marshall pulls aside and tells us, "I know I hear laughter and you guys are having fun. But there is a certain level you have to be to play here." Felt disrespected and for the record we where playing a lot faster than the people behind us. Guess we didn't dress the part or look the part. Dunno gold if suppose to be fun and no way we are trying out for the PGA. Rude rude rude

I am very sorry to learn about your recent experience at Deep Cliff. Thank you for bringing this situation to my attention. Clearly we have an issue with one of our Marshals. We want everyone who plays the course to have a fun and safe experience. It sounds like we failed to do that for your group. Please contact me directly if you are interested in coming back to the course so we can improve your experience and change your opinion of Deep Cliff and our staff.
