Beautiful course

The cliffs is a beautiful course but not player friendly. Way to many blind holes. You will spend all of your time looking for your ball because you can't see it land due to all of the burms lining the fairways.

What a hidden gem

I was passing thru and did a quick google search for cool courses to play. I was not disappointed. This course was challenging and the landscape with the layout was something I’d expect to see at a pga course. I didn’t play my best and the course made sure I knew it. I’ll be back to get revenge on the 92 i shot. Overall the course was fantastic!

Fun round in the heat!

All was good with the round. They did bump my tee time 10 mins earlier without notification. After i said that my 4th was not going to make it until my exact time they moved my time back 20 mins and very nice about it. Also, i called in food at the grill and the order never was placed. Overall golf course was great and staff made it right.

Expected Better

I was excited to play and made the 2.5 hours drive. The food near the clubhouse was excellent. The course was brown any many spots, some of the sprinklers were not working. The bunker on 8 was full of water for whatever reason. They were running the sprinklers without anyone turning them off as needed for players. I had high expectations, but was disappointed.

Awesome Course!

The Cliffs at Possum Kingdom Lake is a fantastic course! The views are amazing and there are a lot of challenging holes. My only complaint are the bunkers. Most of them were unplayable with little to no sand. Greens rolled true and were fast. Tee boxes and fairways are in great condition. If you live in the DFW area or are coming to visit do yourself a favor and play this course. You will not be disappointed!

What's a sand trap?

The course overall is excellent, only hampered by their complete lack of concern over their sand traps, for years at this point. Their signature par 3 ninth hole by the lake has one foot tall grass growing in the sand trap on the lake side, and solid mud on the other.

Otherwise, perfect cut grass, smooth greens, good golf carts, and a layout that you'll tell all your golfing buddies about.

The beverage cart made the rounds, they have a great restaurant, and plenty of options in the club house for clubs and shirts.

Perfect day with perfect conditions

Really really nice conditions and perfect weather. Overall perfect experience. Tees and fairways in great sharp and greens ran smooth and fast (about 10 ish on stump and smooth). Really no bare spots. Fairways as nice as I’ve seen at The Cliffs in a few years. Ah and the weather was to die for. Perfect sun/light clouds and 85 degrees with very little wind). Finally got a fantastic rate versus full price. Perfection all the way around.

Great Tough Course with Scenic Views

Great course, super tough holes throughout. Sand traps need to be redone but we will definitely play again soon.

Premium cost, not premium conditions

I love the cliffs…..But…the conditions are not impressive. We are nearing summertime so conditions should be matching that. At $99 I would expect much better. The bunkers have no sand. There are many dirt spots in fairways and the rough. Greens were top-dressed which has to be done so I’ll give a pass but overall the conditions did not match the price. Please put the necessary money back into the course to return it to the premium track it has been in the past.

Tough but great!

The Cliffs at PK is a beautiful course with immaculate fairways and greens. The restaurant and bar serve great food and drinks for those still upright after the tough 18 holes. I highly recommend it but can’t speak to the accommodations but they look new.

Tge Cliffs

My wife and have played several courses in Texas and The Cliffs is our favorite. The views are amazing and the course was in great shape. It is a super challenging course and there is a lot of opportunities to go for it or lay up. Which causes the course to eat a lot of golf balls but part of the fun.
