We had a great time playing the Cliffs!

First off, it is in a very peaceful location, right off Possum Kingdom. A good sized driving range, and large putting green.

Carts did not have GPS, but they were a little faster than normal. The course also provides you with a cooler to ride as well.

I really enjoyed the layout of the course. Par 71, plays 6800 from the back tees. The course is challenging, especially when the wind blows like it did. Most holes will feature some sort of ravine or drop off that you must avoid, and several holes where your approach has to carry, with no area to run it up.

Holes 8 and 9 are alone the cliff side of the Lake, and offer really unique views. 8 is a par 5 with a "horseshoe" design. You start with an abbreviated tee shot, and a second that must carry a ravine. Third shot cannot miss right. 9 played 200 to the back, with a stiff wind in your face. On the back nine, there are several great holes, highlighted by the last par 3. It played 190, but with a 100 foot drop off. Oh and the wind was straight in your face.

Overall it's a great course. I enjoyed that there really weren't any throw-away holes, as every one offered a challenge. You will earn a good score as there aren't many easy holes.

I knocked them on conditions as the course was bare at some places, but otherwise the conditions were very good. The bent grass greens were rock hard, but they were slow. However I found it difficult to spin back any wedges.

In all I will definitely play this course again. Great course for a $45 twilight fee, in a picturesque setting. If you want a relaxing round, that challenges your game, head out to PK.

Greatly enjoyed my round at Black Mesa. Friendly and helpful staff, even told me that an afternoon shower was about to hit as I made the turn. Carts have GPS in them, and a yardage book is available.

The area has been in a severe drought so the grass was a little spotty, but it is still a great course with a nice challenge. If the area had water I would assume the course would have a more consistent surface.

Great course, loved my round, and I will be back.

Really enjoyed this course. The course features great fairways and greens on a good track. Take away the omnipresent wind and it is not too challenging, but can make you pay if you err.

There was one slow group that backed up everyone else, so it was mildly slow for a Saturday afternoon. I still had a good time, and enjoyed this course. Good range, MASSIVE putting green that gave a nice preview of the slower greens.

Fun course, good conditions. No bag drop as they were on their phones but solid service post round. Practice facility is great, but the range balls were generic rocks. They have the money to get a titleist ball but used these basic ones. The greens and bunkers are getting torn up in June and will be switched to the Bermuda most places have. I will be back.
