Good shorter course

This is a shorter course with a mixture of par 3 and 4s, but there is enough trouble to deal with to make it challenging. Lots of well placed trees affect your tee shots and i always feel I need to have my iron game under control to play well here.

Under Watered Overbooked

The course is short and flat but the trees and deers makes it interesting. The course is so under watered that the teeing green are mostly sand and there are patches of dead grass on the fairway. The putting green is well kept. The biggest problem is overbooking. When I arrive the first tee, there were 10 people waiting to tee off and they all claim to have the same tee time. I had to waited half an hour at the first tee and and 5 to 10 minutes at the subsequence tees.

Sharpen your short game

Deep Cliff is a great executive length 18 hole course tucked up into the Cupertino foothills. It winds up into the canyon and provide beautiful landscapes to play through. At par 60 you will keep your driver in your bag but you will work out all your short game clubs with good challenges from the blue tees. Get the early tee times to get a fast round. My buddy and I started at 7 and we were done before 10.

This was my friends first time there an all he could say was "beautiful!"

Best Father's Day

Just think what to do on Father's day and could book a tee time from Golfnow.com right away as a single player. People there are very friendly. Starter paired me up with a nice guy and some one caught up later. Tee box were not perfect but I usually tee it up so no problem for me. Some holes, the tee boxes are moved forward so make those easier than before. There are bunkers and water hazards and lot of trees, as well as deers.

Had a fun time

I played Deep Cliff with 3 other friends. We are all beginners. There's nothing spectacular about this course, but it is a great course for beginners like us. It's short so I didn't need to take out my driver. Because of the drought, there were some areas that were brown and dry, but around the greens, it was fine. I was surprised that the pace as very good. We didn't have to wait at any hole. We teed off just after 2 pm on Sunday. We practiced in the range area beforehand. It's a humble range. It gets the job done. For the price and the time, it was money well spent.

Terrible condition

Worst conditioned course I have ever played. Tee boxes aren't grass they are sand and muck nearly all of them. The greens have a ton of dirt pits and were just airrated, there was no notice provided and they didn't roll at all. The course is executive so I won't complain about the pathetic yardage. There are plenty of other choices in San Jose and I kindve feel like golfnow should just remove this course if they don't want to offer 10$ tee times.

Awful condition

I don't play here often but when I have it's been enjoyable and a nice setting. It's a very short course which I knew going in but the course is in terrible condition. Maybe it's the drought but they aren't watering the tee boxes you put your tee into solid dirt every hole. It's ragged and not worth playing.

Fun Shprt Course

Been tempted to try this one out for a while. So, got great deal for 2 (so I could take my sister, who hasn't played much, if at all for many years). It was perfect for her, and I got to leave my driver in the car (am a 6 hcp). Tee boxes and fairways in rough shape, but greens were excellent and pretty fast (for an executive muni). Really an enjoyable time and a welcoming feel to the clubhouse,, and from the staff, and the locals. Very scenic, w/ much wildlife and pretty, meandering brook on most holes. Will definitely play here again. Great value.

This is a petty course.

Its a great place to play on a hot day because there is lots of shade. It's in fair condition at the moment due to some really dry weather in northern ca. but I've seen it in better shape. Great value for the price, you can walk or ride. I play there often.

Nice little course to get your swing on.

I was in the area and wanted to get some green time. Showed up a bit late for my tee time and the starter/management were accommodating even as HS league play was about to start. Course is narrow and dense with trees. Fairways are in decent shape given the dought. The recent rains helped but the greens were very slow and probably could be trimmed a bit. Errant shots will put you on the next fairways or losing balls. Great for practicing your long irons and approach shots. Paired up with very nice people and enjoyed the walk with a bunch of urban deers hanging out.

I think Stevie wonder was the greens keeper that week

Deep cliff was a joke. Can't believe they have the audacity to charge full price with the course in the condition it was in. Not one realistic fairway . More like a drive way of dirt

Great if you're looking for quick 18

Misty par-3. Very fast course (played 15 in 2.5 hours. Wish they has more par-5 holes. Hardly an opportunity to pull out a driver.

Deep Cliff is a good beginner/skill building course

This 18 hold course allows for any beginner to work on the most important aspect of the golf game: the short game. I played this course knowing that I needed some practice with my mid-irons and short irons, wedges and putter. The greens on this course are well taken care of.

There is a lot of good scenery to take in as you walk around the course. Like big trees, deers, turtles, and a couple of creeks.

The challenges on this course can be found in a couple of holes that dog leg either left or right. The golfer doesn't have to contend with much water on this course, so losing your ball is a little tough.

Overall, this is a fun course to work on your skills and to enjoy some beautiful scenery.

Deep Cliff

Deep Cliff is a great course to work on your iron game. If you start early, there's typically no waiting and you can get a full 18, while walking, in under 3 hours.

They maintain the course nicely and the value can't be beat for 18 holes of golf.

Great for a shorter 18

This course is pretty challenging due to the narrow fairways. Hard to keep your driver in your bag but it is a must. Good course for someone who is getting in to golf and it is their first 18 hole course.
