About Woodcliff Hotel and Spa

The Woodcliff Hotel & Spa offers a bit of golf history, having hosted the European Ryder Cup team during the 1995 Matches at nearby Oak Hill.

The hotel features contemporary accommodations, a restaurant, renovated spa, indoor pool, seasonal outdoor pool and fitness center.

A hidden gem

I recently played this course as part of a business meeting with a client and the course was in excellent shape. I played a few other area courses this spring and Woodcliff is in the best condition comparable to Ravenwood. Staff is always friendly and a great bar inside the hotel for after round drinks and food.

Save yourself the money

If you’re looking for a really quick round in the morning at 8am, go for it here. Outside of that, don’t waste your time and money

Beautiful Hidden Gem

This place is tucked away in the middle of Woodcliff on top of the hill. It has the best views of the surrounding area. It is worth playing for the view. The holes are challenging even though it is a course that runs on the shorter side. Despite that, it can be played very quickly, making it perfect for me to play after work.

Greatest view of rolling hills.

I love to play this course at least once a year. Views are breathtaking. Sometimes I just want to play it a bit longer just to enjoy views.

Surprised

Surprised by the condition of the course, especially the greens.

Surprised by the difficulty of the course, mostly because of how narrow the fairways were.

If you can get a deal on the fees, well worth it.

Cool little course

Excellent value when you can find a hot rate, I played 18 holes with a cart for $10! The course plays very quick due to some short but fun par 3s and par 4s. Can be an easier play if you can keep it out of the trees!

Unconventional course

We played an afternoon round and had fun. The course is quite different and has some really unusual holes. The greens were about the slowest that I have ever putted on but the rest of the course was in very good shape.

The greens are tiny, and seemingly not made of grass. I have never had to swing the putter this hard. Just off/around the tiny greens are covered by the thickest rough on the course. What would normally be first cut, is now thick dense rough, doesnt make sense. we paid for 18, and left after only 9 to play a different course.

Not worth the $10.

Great practice

Probably wouldn't pay more than the hot deal price. Nice par 4 course, pretty good conditions, a few challenging holes. Walked the whole 9 in under 1.5 hours (just myself). Nice practice round if you have an afternoon off

Great hotel and resort. Course is fair or below but could be very good if they did some work on the greens.

Needs work

A bit over grown in areas (8th Tee box needs help as you can see no part of the fiarway). Many greens were shaggy and weedy. Fine for Hot deals but not worth full price.

Contrived and in poor condition

I made my reservation based on the 4 star rating of this course. It is more like a 1.5 star at best. Some holes are attractive and nicely designed, others are an afterthought and forced into the limited spacing afforded. The tee boxes were in terrible shape, the greens are fuzzier than an alpaca sweater and the rental clubs are terrible. I played with three very nice young gentlemen I was paired with but other than their company the nine holes were a waste of time and money.
