Off the cliff
The course is great, the people are great. The pace of play was slow. They allow fivesome’s and that slows everything down.
A Hidden Gem
First time playing the course as we were traveling across the country visiting friends. A real treat to play. Challenging with some epic and unique holes. its a must play if you are in the area.
Great layout
Incredible golf layout. However, the greens were incredibly long and uncut. They recently punched holes in the greens, so I assume it has something to do with that. Talked with a regular and he said the greens are never like this. The tee boxes were uncut and had long grass and weeds growing up, and the bunkers were filled with rocks. With that being said, if they mowed and had the greens rolling at regular speeds, I would 100% play the course again.
Windy Day but Nice Temps for February
The course is very challenging with lots of cliffs. I guess that's a given considering the name of the course. The course was in good shape for winter play. The greens were in good condition and putted true. Enjoyed the round and the staff was great.
Favorite course in Texas
The Cliffs is by far my favorite course in Texas! I have played multiple courses in Ireland and it beats a lot of them!
I play the Cliffs multiple times a year and it is always a fun and challenging course! Fairways are in great shape (even the Texas summer heat) and the greens roll true.
One of the Great Courses
I own property in the Resort and get 35 free rounds a year, so I get out whenever I can, but it is usually on 3-4 time a year. Of all the courses I have played around the country, this is one of the unforgettable ones. The views are spectacular and the course is challenging and interesting with many forced carries risk/reward approach shots. Even better the course, always in good shape, is under new management and is in the best condition ever. The wild fires a few years ago did affect the course, thinning out some of the trees on some of the holes, but it has recovered nicely.
This is a bucket list course, and I highly recommend every serious golfer in North, West, or Central Texas make an effort to play it. Also the resort has good accomodations and an excellent restaurant if you want to make a golf trip out of it.
Stunning Views
The course was in really good shape. The greens rolled very smoothly and the tee boxes and fairways were good. The layout is one of the best I've played in Texas, and the views are undeniably spectacular. Worth a few hours in the car to get to.
One of the best
Even though the course conditions aren't what you expect when you pay over priced green fees this place still is one of the best. VERY challenging so bring lots of balls haha. Great views and the layout is what makes it great in my opinion. For sure is on the Texas bucket list of golf courses.
fun, tough golf course!
Played with two other guys yesterday (Sunday), we teed off at 9 am after hitting range balls from a natural grass range in good shape with a practice area for chipping & putting as well. We played the round in just over 4 hours and had very little to any waiting time. The course is fair but challenging. Strong possibility you will lose your golf ball with a bad shot. Fairways and greens are in very good shape. Well worth the trip to PK to play golf!
Memorable
Gorgeous views on a challenging layout with nice greens make up for the bare areas on the fairways.
Staff was very friendly and patient in explaining that drought conditions and salt water have hurt turf conditions.
A state of the art water treatment plant is in the works which will certainly make this course incredible.
Golf shop was very nice with more offerings than you would expect to find at such a remote location.
Will definetly play again.
