Deep Cliff Golf Course
Deep Cliff Golf Course, is a Public, 18 hole golf course located in Cupertino, California.
Deep Cliff Golf Course first opened for play in 1962. The course was designed by Clark Glasson in 1962. This par 60 executive course is a comfortable, easily walked course.
Stevens Creek winds through the Deep Cliff Golf Course providing both a visual pleasure and a golf challenge. The course is an excellent spot to practice your short game and exercise your irons. The layout has 12 par 3's and 6 par 4's. There are also three sets of tees to challenge every level of player.
Hole #1 is a dogleg right that is 271 yards from the back tee and provides you with an immediate look at Steven's Creek, which is seen throughout the entire course. You can use a driver but, why. Unless you think you can hit a green from 271 yards, you are advised to set up for an easy second shot to the green in regulation. On your approach, beware of the bunkers that guard the slightly tiered green.
Some claim the best par 3 on the course is the fourth hole. This hole measures 164 yards from the elevated back tee.
The toughest hole on the course might be #6. At first this looks like a straight shot to the green, but in order to get there you have to negotiate Steven's Creek off the drive and then avoid the many bunkers in the landing area. The green is slightly hidden to the right as pine, oak and sycamore trees line the fairway.
A good chance to gain a stroke comes at #8. This is the shortest par three on the course. A wedge or 9 iron correctly hit should put you in birdie position.
The best par 4 on the course is considered to be #15, also the longest hole on the course. The hole is a dogleg left that is 289 yards from the back tee with a hidden green concealed by large redwoods.
#18 is a long par 3 that has an elevated tee box overlooking the clubhouse. The hole is a straight shot down a very narrow fairway leading to the final green surrounded by 2 large bunkers.
This is a great course on which to practice your short game.
