Deep Cliff Golf Course

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.

I've been playing here for many years. I've never seen the course in better shape. The clubhouse is being upgraded too.

Lots of improvements on the course. The kitchen is under way. The greens and tee boxes looked much better than we have seen them in the past. I love playing here.

Had a great time. Course was in great shape. New golf carts.

Pleasant play with the creek running through property. Stay out of bunkers. Very heavy sand that's hard to escape.

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.

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

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

my best game this year. I wish it was located closer to my home.

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.

Play was slow staff were great course in ok condition, it was new year's eve

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'm really enjoying all the renovation that has been done and look forward to the opening of the back llne in a week or so. Great job!

Back 9 only open. Shorter and Dryer Holes. Greens good.
Excellent for the Price!

The course was good considering there are still plenty of work or renovation going on.

First of all, this is my first review. I may go into way to much detail or rate a bit inaccurately, as I haven't really thought about what I would rate other courses.

This course has always been a favorite for me. I have been playing here since I was very little, and regardless of what other course I would go to on the weekends, this was always where I would practice during the week because of its convenient location. When I heard that it was being renovated properly, I was overjoyed, as over the years, they have made a lot of bandaid fixes that only lasted a short time and didn't do any long term good for the course. Being confined to the back nine for around a month and a half was somewhat annoying, but it was well worth the result of the renovation. The front nine has been given all new tee boxes, new bunkers, and new cartpaths. One of main complaints from the past was the fact that when the tee boxes were beat up, they would put new sod in, but then have people hit off it immediately, and within a few days, it was completely ruined. On six of the nine holes on the front nine, synthetic grass has been added to allow the tees to grow back. The only holes where these are not present are 1, 5, and 9, with 1 and 9 being par fours. These tees are currently in use for another week or so to let the new grass really take root in the ground. The bunkers have also been improved greatly. Some have been redone, some have been moved, and some have been totally removed. In all cases, it seems to have been for the better. New paved cartpaths have been added in many places to replace the old gravel ones as well. However, other than around the greens and the tee boxes, the grass is suffering from the drought (which isn't a problem if you go for all of the par 4s :) )

This course is a lot of fun to practice on for a few reasons. Five out of the six par fours have the opportunity to be driven, including all three on the front nine. The par threes are great because they range from finesse wedge shots to long irons or even woods for shorter hitters. My personal favorite stretch of the front nine is 6-8. Six is a drivable par four that includes a blind tee shot which curves around Stevens Creek. The new fairway bunker has made this hole even more fun. Seven is a 120-yard par three over water with a heavily sloping back to front green. It's quite fun to see wedge shots spin all the way across the green or have putts make 90-degree turns before going in the hole. Eight is a nice 100-yard par three where a player can go for a birdie.

At Deep Cliff, there are two practices greens. One is extremely small and is not used much. It is located right next to the pro shop. I would not recommend practicing there. The other is pretty large and is located next to the first tee. There is ample room near it to hit chips from, but since it isn't that busy usually, you don't have to worry about getting conked on the head by an errant pitch shot. There is also a third practice green with two bunkers near hole 16 that is only open to lessons. The range has ~10 stalls and is only 30 yards long before it hits a net. It is perfect for getting loose at the beginning of the round, but not so great if you want to see the full ball flight.

All in all, Deep Cliff is a great course to come down to and get in some good practice. It is not that long and great for beginners, and there are also many programs for juniors. I have been coming there to practice for years, and I really enjoy it.
