Grow the grass

Needs grass to keep balls from rolling off the course.

Needs some work

Right now, most fairway grass has died and there is no stopping a ball on the fairway on 1,2,4,5,7 and 9. If you leave it short of the green, expect it to roll off the fairway and maybe lose your ball. The course needs to make it playable for high handicappers, like making a berm or sand to prevent roll off.

Good Conditions

This is a fairly easy 9 hole course which has one slight dogleg. There are 2 par 4's and good size greens. The greens had been recently aerated but overall the course is in very good condition. The burgers in the Gold Dust Eatery on site were very tasty. Nice outdoor patio to enjoy the nice weather.

Friends Golf

Enjoyed the beautiful weather on a leisurely golf outing. A bit slow because of a foursome who watch too much TV and act like pros but play like beginners.

Needs Work

At this time of year the grass does not seem to grow, so the fairways seem short on grass with some bare spots. I always enjoy the course for the scenic beauty and friendly staff. Had a nice round on a cold day.

Recent Aeration

The layout was nice and open. Greens had been aerated recently so the roll wasn't the best. Quite a few geese on one hole. Good facility and staff.

Construction

Hard to give the course a fair review with the construction. Greens are in good shape, fairways are not. The layout is tougher than you would expect, especially for someone who is not straight. Bring extra balls as there is lots of hazards, especially environmental areas.

Good Day

Had a beautiful day to play golf. The course was in good condition, greens quick. The only thing that could have been better is the amount of coots on the two water holes.

Fun Relaxing Golf

Wanted to get in some practice and this is the place to play. It is not too short nor too long. The price is right and course seems to be improving. You won't find a nice clubhouse, but staff is super friendly.

Pretty Course

A very scenic 9 hole course, easy to walk, fairly priced and plenty to challenge you. A shorter course but well kept and trees will come into play. Too many geese.

Nice Course

This is a nice course. Tree lined fairways, good greens, and interesting layout. When you play a 9 hole course, expect to wait.

Better than expected

The removal of a couple of holes from the back nine did not ruin the flow of the course. Most of the course is the same, just rerouted and a little shorter. Overall still a decent course for the money.

Beautiful Day

On a perfect day for golf, we enjoyed the course. This course is better for the straight or fade golfers. Not much room for the hookers. The greens were in good condition, but some of the fairways need some grass in bare spots. Overall it is still a fun course to play, just tough to get to if you don't live nearby.

Local Course

Even though it is a short par 3 course, it is a tough walk and you can lose your balls there. Still a course I enjoy and can get in my short iron game practice.

Not so easy

A course that is on the narrow side, beautiful setting, good greens, but not for the crooked hitter. A lot tougher than one would expect for a short course. Make sure you have good directions, because this course is hard to find.

Good Scenery

Deep Cliff is great for the beginner golfer. It is a short 18 hole course with pretty scenery. Right now the course is not in the best of condition but it is very playable. Great for honing your short game.
