Great for a beginner golfer

Since I have started golfing more seriously, this was a great course. The fee was perfect for a twilight game of 9 holes. The course had a couple challenging areas lost only 1 ball to the creek. I definitely will come back to this course, beautiful settings and challenging areas.

The only problem I had was a family (a mother/father and daughter) and kids (a group of young boys (under 14) that apparently did not show respect to the other golfers. It did not look like they were together. I'm not sure where they came from but they were walking all over the course, jumping in front of you to play the next hole, it did not look like they were playing a game but just hitting the ball. The younger boys did not have any adults with them and I finally had to ask them to leave the course because they were about to take one of our players ball.

Greens were good and consistent; tee boxes crowned and spent.

Deep Cliff is great for iron play and practice. There really isn't any hole, except, maybe, 12, where you would hit a driver or 3 wood. The greens were generally in great shape and can be challenging. The bunkers were not so great, pretty hard and, some, rocky; and most of the tee boxes were very crowned and mostly bare of grass.

That said, if you need to practice your irons, this is the place to do it.

Great early summer conditions

Played here at noon on a super hot June Saturday (90+ degrees). Usually this place is very backed up on weekends, but today it moved pretty well. There was no one behind us for 2-3 holes, probably due to the heat. Walked it in 3:45 w/ about 25 minutes of total waiting.

The greens were in GREAT shape for a muni/exec style course. Rolling true all day. Fairways/fringe were in good shape and fast. Tee boxes were better than usual but still by far the weakest link in terms of maintenance - there is no excuse for having an uneven lie/stance while standing in the tee box.

If they keep the greens this good all summer, I'll be back often.

4.5 hours, but fun.

The course is what golf is supposed to be like! I you like to boom drives and then jump into your cart, stay away! Most of the par 3's are challenging because you are punished for any inaccuracy. Because of a winding creek and tons of leaves, going just past the green or a slight slice/hook will end up as a lost ball.

The only problem is that it gets so backed up. I've played here three times and by the second or third hole you are waiting for the group in front to clear the green. Because there are no par 5's, it stays at this pace through 18. It should never take 4.5+ hours to play this course.

Great for short game practice

Great course to practice your irons and short game along with a few par 4's. Water comes into play on 4 or 5 holes. Overall I like it and the people that play there are nice.

A great find!

I was looking for a course on a Sunday afternoon that was a fair price, provided an opportunity to walk for exercise and enjoy the weather, was a new challenge, close to San Jose, and was available.....this course met all my needs. In fact, I was surprised that it took me a year and a half to find this place but am glad I did! Little busy and slow but to be expected on a Sunday when most ppl are walking and there are families out on a course that is mostly par 3's but still worth it....and will definitely be a good weekday course to use for working on irons. Tough holes with water and narrow fairways and protected greens but still worth it! You can use a power cart if ya want...i read somewhere that they didn't offer that but they do. Greens were 10x better than SJ muni, fairways decent, tee boxes a little sandy.

Really fun executive course.

I had limited time and this course was perfect for that. Lots of fun and some challenge. I played behind two others and walked a leisurely pace and still finished 18 hole in an hour and 45 minutes. Great place to work on the short game both on course and with the practice facility.

I cannot recommend this course. Slow, unmonitored play. Staff dismissed complaints by stating "you only payed $17 to play".

Do not waste your time and money unless you have plenty of both. I played here for the first and last time on 2/24 with tee off at 3:07. After 1.5 hours I played just 5 holes due to unmonitored play including groups of parents and children taking 4 and 5 tee shots, looking for balls, and taking multiple shots again and again. I left the course after 5 holes only to complain to rude staff.
