Deep Cliff Golf Course

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!!

When you don't have a life time to spend playing golf, this is the best choice. Enjoy a friendly but slightly challenging experience.

Deep Cliff allows too many players on the course at one time which leads to long waits at every hole and slow play.

I have been playing here for years, I feel at home here. However...Tee boxes and greens have been in terrible condition for a long time now. Starters unaware groups are backed-up on holes 2 thru 7, marshalls afraid to say anything meaningful to slow groups, probably because there are so many. They provide cold water tanks (nice) but they need to be cleaned so water has no taste! Most ball cleaners are broken. They have improved on their tree trimming. This course has everything necessary to be a showcase except for TLC.

I truly enjoyed the layout of the course. For a relatively short course, the holes were varied and nicely planned out. I had to "play the course" in interesting ways and I had a great time.

The course is price reasonably, but the tee boxes need a lot of work. The cart/walking path needs attention too. A little bit of attention and this would be a great little course.

I was a little weary from the get go since it was only $35 for an 18 hole course, should have followed my gut and not played here. The Tee Boxes were nothing but dirt and sand, the greens unkept and the golf carts (I know not a big deal) held together with Duct Tape (LITERALLY)! Not to mention all the blind spots on each hole, you never can see anyone ahead or behind you and balls are constantly flying at you. If you can stay away and spend the money on a nicer place to play!
