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.
Course layout was fun. Definitely winter conditions, with dormant grass, but the course was playable and greens were in good shape. Would like to try it again when the course is green. All in all a nice day to golf and decent pace (some slower play on the back nine).
Excellent layout. Tough winter course conditions
Course layout is excellent. It appears they are doing work on parts of the course, which is a good sign. Several tee boxes were being rebuilt. The course does struggle with conditioning at times - bunkers need better drainage and sand, tee boxes should be rolled and flattened, and there are areas on the fairways where a perfect shot in the middle will roll off the course to an unplayable lie. This latter point is exacerbated in the winter when the grass on the fairways are thin as they are not overseeded. Overall, I really like the place. The layout is great and the staff are excellent. It is definitely a fun place with some incredible views. It could just use some consistent investment and TLC.
Great Course
Well worth the drive. Challenging holes, cliffside holes where a slice means you're feeding the fishes, one of the few courses where you get range balls with the green fee.
Good Course... Great Views
Good Course. Layout is good, difficult. Lots of blind shots or shots hitting over canyons. Fairways and greens were great. The bunkers not good at all. All were soaked with water and it hadn't rained in weeks. The bunkers were unplayable, but everything else was good.
Beautiful if not a little intimidating views
Wow, the beautiful layout and surroundings at The Cliffs never fail to impress. Not for the faint of heart as a couple holes are so pretty but a bit intense for those with any sort of fear of heights. Greens and tees are in great condition as are most fairways. Some bear spots on the fairways due to the lack of rain this summer and fall.
Course conditions.
Toughest front 9 I’ve ever played. Course was in great shape. Practice areas were great as well.
