Challenging and Scenic, Bunkers are Trash

Really like this layout, it is tough and gorgeous.

Carts with GPS are helpful for several blind shots.

Greens are good, fast and a lot of slope, so very difficult.

Tee boxes and fairways were just average.

The main drawback to this course is the bunkers; they are absolutely trashed and unplayable, not to mention a huge eyesore.

Tough!!

Course is in excellent condition. Staff was awesome. Definitely one of the hardest courses I’ve ever played. If you want a challenge, this is the course!

Fantastic course

Great, very challenging, scenic course. Fairways and greens are in good shape. Greens are good but not great, the grass is a little sparse but they seem to roll fairly true. The sand traps have mostly been abandoned and the people I played with just removed the ball to keep from hitting rocks. The layout from the blues really pushed driver and any push or fade turns into penalties since there isn't room to spare on the sides before trees/brush and Cliffs.

Beautiful

Real Texas feel with beautiful views. Use the GPS. A lot of spot golf. Forces you to play smart. Can’t beat the sunset rounds at this track. Took the 2hr drive from DFW. Worth it

Not organized

Pro shop was not organized. Didn’t have carts available for afternoon tee times and bumped our tee time (made on Golf Now by 10 minutes). No starter on a Saturday also. . Greens were alittle bumpy. The course is just a hard course to play, so if you need a reality check on your game, go play the Cliffs for sure 😂

Beautiful Course in Great Shanoe

Course was absolutely beautiful and in great shape. There was a tourney in front of us that made for slow play. I highly recommend the course!

Beautiful course!

Have never played a course with a lay out like this. So many elevation changes, every hole was a different look. Just beautiful. Only negative was the greens had recently been punched. But that should take care of itself soon.

Bring your balls

Still a great course. It's tough. Bring a few extra balls, any shanks are going to be tough to find. Make sure they are Pro V's so I can find a few more myself. The restaurant on site serves great food so don't miss out on that as well.

Excellent day in ideal weather

Even with aerated greens the place is in excellent condition coming into the late spring. The tees and fairways were ideal and greens were as expected running slower and bumpy. What a beautiful day at the lake with perfect sun and lower winds than usual. The vistas were as ideal as they get at the cliffs. Beautiful beautiful.
