Deep Cliff Golf Course

course is in horrable shape which is unfortunate
great layout real nice walk fun to play just in bad shape from tee boxes to greens and non existant
bunker quality

The front nine was scenic and the greens were in decent condition. The back however is cramped into an area that seems like it just isn't enough space, with the tee boxes right next to the greens. The greens on the back nine were also in poor condition; with inconsistent speeds and bumps all over the place. I paid $19 for my round, but even at that price I don't think I'll go back. I'd rather pay $10 more and go to SJ muni or even pruneridge.

Deep Cliff is one of the best courses for learning to control your irons and wedges. The beauty that surrounds the course makes what would be simple holes on most courses daunting here. Many holes have serious trouble either on the tee shot, or around the green. There are a handful of holes where a shot that is two yards off the back or to one side of the green is dead and likely lost. But that trouble is exactly what makes such a short course so Intriguing. There is very little ability to play your hole from another fairway, you have to keep control of your ball. I will keep coming here from time to time because it is just such a great little course.

As usual, this course is in good shape and there is lots of availability during the week. Good value, nice conditions, nice friendly staff.

It's a nice looking course with huge trees. The fairways are narrow creating a challenge to hit the ball straight. If you are off the fairway, the course is not too forgiving. The greens are in great shape. For the value, a great course.

Deepcliff does not require long drives.
Accuracy is by far more important.

We had a tee time at 0745 but was allowed to get started as soon as we got there. There were some greens that needs repair but an overall good value. They also take youth on course without time restrictions.

Deep Cliff calls itself an executive course but I would call it an Executives Wives Course. The reasonable greens fees and short, fairly easy holes lend themselves to a type of player that is, let's say, novice and looking for a way to pass the time during the weekday. So play is usually very slow.
The course seems to be in a constant state of repair. Greens are pretty beat up, possibly a result of clueless players not knowing it is polite to repair the green. Also a lot of the course is in constant shade so it never properly dries out and doesn't get sun for good grass structure.

Had a nice walk at Deep Cliff but they are doing a lot of work on the course and, quite frankly, it needs it. Hopefully some of the new grass they are seeding will have the place in better shape next spring

I have returned to golfing at age 60 after a 40 year "time out" from the game and have played Deep Cliff 4 times this year. It's a lovely, tranquil short course with an interesting variety of holes. Few holes would challenge a golfer who can break 100 on a full-length course, but that's just fine for me at the stage I'm at right now in re-learning golf. Water hazards and gullies come into play on a couple of holes, but by and large you shouldn't find yourself feeling threatened by any of the golfing challenges at Deep Cliff. There's a good chance you will see several deer nibbling on the fairways. The cafe near the parking lot is pretty decent too. They have a nice "golf plus lunch" deal for seniors, but I'm still a bit too young to qualify for that. ;)

Deep Cliff is a nice scenic Par 60. The 18 holes are mostly Par 3's and 4's. You don't need a driver for this course. The slopes are very moderate and forgiving. A novice player like myself can get a few birdie attempts throughout the easily walkable course. I really like this course because it's a fun course and it doesn't bruise my ego.

The course is short, but has a great view with friendly deer. Narrow fairway view can be challenging and could lose some balls with OB range less than typical. No need for the driver if you're man. I think it's fair for the money.

A challenging course due to it's compact size, but truly an exceptional value, especially for seniors. Current fee for seniors is $23 and this includes lunch! The course is nicely maintained and has a friendly staff. It's challenging features include blind dog legs, water hazards, narrow fairways, and very ruff roughs! Bring extra golf balls. Mostly par 3's, no par 5's. Great place to practice your short game and improve your striking accuracy.

Its a short course and could use a little more attention, but overall I had a great time. Great for before work... don't miss the deer at 6:30AM!

Narrow fairways surrounded by trees and blackberry bushes make this this more than an executive lunch course. On the par threes (some of which are quite challenging) practice your short game. For the 6 par fours leave your driver at home. Take out that fairway metal, hybrid or long iron and work on your aim and finesse. You'll have an enjoyable 3 hours and your game will benefit from it.

I have been playing Deep Cliff off and on for 35 years and this last round there was the worst condition I have ever seen the course. It needs a new irrigation system (which in time probably would save them money) and the tees are real bad. They are trying to 'fix' the tees and doing a very bad job of that. They have destroyed all the new sod they bought. They are overseeding with really poor topdressing (inconsistent depth and coverage) and no water. The seeds will not germinate without consistent topdressing depth and keep the seeds moist for at least a week. Greens are slow and bumpy, but some of that is people are not fixing ball marks. I have enjoyed playing Deep Cliff, but it is in need of some real help.

Deep Cliff is great, but i learned the hard way not to play on a weekend afternoon. The pace was so slow that it was brutally painful. I love the course but won't ever play on a weekend again. There are a LOT of beginners who think that because it's an executive length course that it will suit their skill level, which just isn't true. Deep Cliff is very scenic but is also tight, with a lot of hazards and trouble to get into. Please beginners, play Rancho del Pueblo, Mariner's Point or even Pruneridge to learn the game. Or more likely I need to accept that you'll keep going to Deep Cliff and adjust accordingly. If you're not a beginner, play weekdays for quick, enjoyable rounds.

Went here with my wife. Course was pretty beat up. Holes are very close together. Nice environment. Lots of beginners and some very slow play. Didn't strike me as a great vibe for the serious golfer, but a highly suitable place to take it easy and drink beer in the sun and joke with your playing partners.

Beautiful property but neglected conditioning. Need to put some funds in the course.

Deep Cliff is a good short 18 with lots of bang for your buck.I like to play this course when every where else is packed and its good to get out and walk the course and still have energy to play all 18. Mostly a irons course but there still are a few you can break out the driver and let it rip!!
