excellent to work on irons

This course has a nice peaceful setting. Although it is being work on, it still presents challenges due to the narrow points on the course. This is the first time that I have seen it in a rough condition. It still is a nice peaceful course to play on.

Course has gone to pot

Course had several temporary T boxes, it didn't seem like they were even trying to maintain the course. The greens were in poor condition as well. We played on a golf now hot deal, otherwise the value for money would have been much lower.

Poor Greens

Overall the course is good but a lot of the greens are pretty beat up. There were bare spots, holes and other issues which made putting difficult.

good for a tuneup

This is an executive course so knowing that going in I was there to work on my iron game. It was already really dry and a lot of the lies even in the fairway were pretty thin. The greens were not in the best shape and really slow. But the course is pretty narrow so it requires you to hit good shots which all I wanted as a tuneup round. It needs a lot of water to soften it up and the greens need some work to smooth them out and make the speed the same.

Course recovering from drought

conditions were poor, especially the Tee Boxes. Lots of work going on. Greens were bumpy and sandy. Fairways mostly dirt or new grass.

Lovely serene 18-holes; crummy greens

The course is nice: short, forest-y feel, and deer. Guaranteed you'll see Bambi, but relax, they are peaceful and mind their own business.

The greens are crummy :/ Holes, random divots, leaves, tree branches. Rather disappointing on that front.

Lovely walk though. Good challenge for the beginning golfer.

Best in the morning

I play this course with my wife. We are not very good, but we really enjoy playing here alongside the deer and the Falcons. Mostly par-3s, the course is wide open and suits our abilities.

A nice walk in th park

Deep Cliff is a nice local course. amazing within 3 miles are millions of people. Tucked in the hills it is a very post card looking course. Fun layout. greens are good but tee boxes HAVE major issues! The cafe has nice Craft beer on draft. But they could use a newer TV. Wow circa 1980's

Great option for a quick round

I wanted to play a quick 9 before work, so i made a tee time for 7:10am. The cost was $20 for a full 18 (although i only had time fore 9).

There had been heavy rain on the days leading up to my play time so the course was understandably soft and wet. The coure was in decent shape, a little worn, but they are making repairs where needed. The course was fairly empty as i had one of the first tee times so pace of play was up to me. I finished 9 holes in 60 minutes.

I will definately be coming back for more pre-work rounds.

Deep Cliff Golf

Deep Cliff is near De Anza College and easy to find
There is ample parking and a modest but complete clubhouse facility
If you are a ten to fifteen handicap you will enjoy the challenge of this course,
If you are a five to ten handicap then pass on this course as you will overpower it
Great setting in a quiet and secluded valley

Good Value for Money, but ...

the course needs some TLC

Tee boxes resemble a bunker or are runover with crab grass

Most of the greens are good. The back 9 is in better shape

Needs some work

This course is an ok value for the money, but the conditions are a bit disappointing. The tee boxes are for the most part horrible--some are like teeing off in a sandtrap. It's not easy making a full powerful swing without solid footing. Creating a nice flat grass area to tee off of seems like a very basic greenskeeping task. Also, the greens are not that great either, with the grass being paper thin with visible underlying dirt everywhere and often large blemishes on the putting surface. However, it is a very pretty course and the fairways are acceptable for the most part.

Drough conditions

Played the course with my wife in 3 hr 20 min. Tee time 8 AM. Greens are being watered but the tee boxes and fairways are brown and in some cases the grass is all but gone. I have played this course for many years and this is about as dry as I have seen it. Not their fault, although they could do with a little bit less watering on the greens (spongy areas).
The tee boxes in many cases have been moved forward and away from the sandy areas resulting in some very short holes.

Hope you like sand...

Tee boxes and fairways are nonexistent. Tee boxes are mostly sand and fairways are dry hard dirt.
They have signs everywhere saying they are conserving water (lazy excuse) however, the greens were SOAKED. Puddles in some areas.
If you wanna play quick on the weekday, go for it. But I wouldn't pay more than $20-25 for this poorly maintained course.

Unbelievable

I have played here before and understand that the pace is slow as a lot of beginners and seniors play. Even understand the fairways and tee boxes being dirt due to saving water because of the drought. That said,I was never able to finish as it took six hours. Found out why. A six some in front of group ahead of me. Unacceptable. Won't be back.

Fun short course but not in great shape.

This is a fun little course with nice scenery and wildlife to work on your short game. There are only six par-4s and the longest are only about 290 yards. I have two complaints: the tee boxes are horrible with many actually being mostly sand around patches of dead grass which makes it tough to have steady footing on your drives, and secondly, the tee boxes are moved around without changing the yardage signs. A fellow golfer used his fancy site to measure the distance on some holes and they were off by 20+ yards.
