Cliff View Golf Course
Frequently Asked Questions
When is the absolute best time to play Cliff View Golf Course for ideal conditions?
We always recommend late spring or early fall for Cliff View. You'll get comfortable temperatures, less wind, and those incredible cliffside views are crystal clear without summer haze. It's also less crowded than peak summer, making for a more relaxed round.
How challenging is Cliff View Golf Course, especially with those dramatic elevations?
Don't let the views distract you - Cliff View is a serious test, especially from the back tees. The elevation changes mean you'll have tricky lies and need to be precise with club selection, particularly on the downhill par-3s where wind can be a huge factor. It's a course that rewards strategic play over brute force.
What should I expect to pay for a round at Cliff View, and is it worth the splurge?
Expect green fees to be in the $150-250 range, depending on the season and time of day. While it's not a budget course, the unparalleled cliffside scenery and immaculate conditioning make it absolutely worth every penny for a memorable experience. Consider an afternoon twilight round for a slightly better rate and stunning sunset views.
What are the must-play holes or unique features at Cliff View that I shouldn't miss?
The back nine is where Cliff View truly shines, particularly the stretch from 12 to 15. The par-3 14th, playing directly over a dramatic canyon drop-off, is its iconic hole and a true heart-stopper. Also, keep an eye out for the challenging dogleg left 17th, which demands a precise tee shot to set up an approach to a green perched right on the cliff edge.
What practical advice do you have for planning a trip to Cliff View, beyond just booking a tee time?
Book your tee time well in advance, especially if you're aiming for a weekend or peak season. We highly recommend renting a GPS-equipped cart; walking this course's elevation changes is a serious workout, and you'll want to conserve energy for your swing. Also, grab a post-round drink on the clubhouse patio - the views are simply unbeatable.
