Great availability for Tee times for any early birds. Signed up at midnight Friday the night before…read morefor a 5:50am Saturday tee time and it was available. Course is in solid condition. The tee boxes could be managed better. Hard to find a level surface and there's multiple grass types. Greens were in great condition. Finished the round in 100 minutes. Groups behind me looked very backed up. I even saw a group of 6 players playing. If you want a quick around I wouldn't reccomend starting after 7AM. Range facilities are solid with mats and chipping/putting areas. Theres a grass area for full swing shots which is nice but it is for members only. Pro shop staff helped me replace my golf ball sleeve after the new one I bought was missing a sleeve. The girl working there was kind but gentleman working answered all my questions and helped me check-in but his tone and attitude gave me the hidden message of "please stop bothering me". I'm not expecting country club customer service from here but I wanted to provide feedback because there's always room for improvement. My expectations were to get a quick round in on short notice and my expectations were exceeded. I definitely will be coming back for early bird golf. I would look at other courses if you getting a quick early bird round is not your priority.

I feel like golf courses give a winery effect, just so pleasant and heavenly to be at!!!! I started at Ace's Ice house for drinks and food and OMG I literally cannot wait to come back just for Ace's. SUch a nice atmosphere and the food was so yummy! Loved the open concept with the firepit! The driving range is literally so much fun. You pay for your bucket, fill it up, then pick a bay. There are 2 levels so there are a lot of options to choose from. It was busy on a Friday night, but I got a corner Bay on the second level and it was so perfect. 2 buckets of balls lasted quite a while, I was shocked! This is such a fun activity if you're looking for something new to do!

To be fair, it's entirely possible that my relatively lukewarm feelings about Deep Cliff Golf…read moreCourse has more to do with having the wrong expectations than the experience itself. It's just that, given how this place is in Cupertino, which I've always been quite fond of, I guess I just thought this course would stand out when, in hindsight, it's probably perfectly fine for what it is. Compared to some of the other courses my friends and I have played around the Bay Area, Deep Cliff is rather unique in its own way. As an executive course, made up entirely of par-3's and par-4's, the full 18 isn't particularly lengthy, which is great for beginners and/or anyone trying to get in a quick round. Yet, while it plays pretty fair for the most part, it still offers some challenges, with the creek/water hazards appearing on several holes, prominent bunkers fronting several holes (especially on the 18th), numerous tree lined fairways that create a narrow feel, and areas that are a bit more wooded, especially along the edge that runs next to an open green space. Despite how some of Deep Cliff's unique features are largely positive, they can cut the other way, too. For example, while all of those trees create some much appreciated shade when it's warm and sunny, those wooded areas are also home to wildlife that will occasionally wander onto the course. Awesome to see, but it can lead to some (understandable) pauses in play as you wait for the deer and the like to clear out. Thankfully, that didn't happen to us and we were here on a weekday, so our pace of play was still pretty steady. However, between that and how short some of the holes are, I can see the course getting bogged down on weekends when there are that many more folks around. As for everything else Deep Cliff has to offer, their facilities and amenities are decent enough. Our cart was serviceable and clean, the pro shop was fine, and their onsite restaurant looked like a nice spot to grab a post-round beer. That said, certain aspects could've been better. At a couple of points, it didn't feel intuitive as to where we should go (the worker at the desk gave us some confusing directions for where the first tee box was) and, most notably, the driving "range" was more like a bunch of netting that you hit into (I know they're limited on space, but still). All in all, even though I'm only giving three stars, I actually think Deep Cliff's three and a half star average is more accurate. It's a solid option for anyone just getting started, as well as more experienced golfers looking to work on their irons or short game, and their rates aren't too shabby. Since it's a bit of a drive from us, though, coming back would be more for a change of pace than as part of our rotation. However, I'm sure we'll be back down the line...and when we do, it'll be with a more appropriate set of expectations that just might lead to an improved review! Until then, THREE AND A HALF STARS rounded down for now.

Three main things when I think of Los Lagos: 1. A local fox…read morepopulation. You may see them running around and hanging out on the greens, especially during the early morning. 2. Odd layout with a lot of back and forth between holes. Total yardage is only around 5000-5400 due to 9 par 3s (par 68 course), but long par 5s and distances between a couple of holes make the course deceptively long especially if walking. 3. The local homeless population. Coyote Creek Trail runs through the course and you may see some homeless + their dogs walking along the cart paths adjacent to the creek. I've never had a problem, but one may want to be aware if leaving golf carts unattended. Has a two-tier driving range with range buckets priced similarly to other driving ranges around San Jose, with TopTracer being installed within the past couple of years. Conditions are fair for a muni course. Water features make things interesting. Holes 4, 6, 9, and 18 offer challenges and are my favorites. Pace of play is usually good on the weekdays (3-3.5 hr). Definitely worth playing if you can find a GolfNow deal or twilight. Staff has always been friendly.

I came in with a simple objective and walked away with a completely different swing…read more So far, I hit 300 balls with this new swing and probably hit another 500 before playing a round with it this coming weekend. The temptation to reverted back to my old swing was irresistible but I managed. The initial outlook is positive but the final outcome is remained to be seen. My final question to Josh was, "What would it take for me to consistently play in the 80s?". His reply was simply pointing me toward the practice range. While I expected a more comprehensive answer, I took the answer positively. Hit the practice range and practice my new swing! =)

On his second 9 hole Tournament he hit 42 strokes and end 2nd. He was very happy, yet not competitive, and was able to compliment and develop friendships with the other players. We attribute this behavior to the Nine Core Values learned at The First Tee.

past Saturday providing face-painting services, and while I genuinely enjoyed working with the…read moreattendees and had fun doing the face painting, my experience as a volunteer left me disappointed. I was stationed at the face-painting table and was busy for most of the event. There was food and refreshments available, but I was never offered even a bottle of water or told that food was available to volunteers. By the time I could finally step away, everything had already been packed up. I even saw the remaining ice from the beverage area being thrown onto the lawn. I understand that volunteering means donating your time. I was happy to donate mine. But I also believe volunteers--especially people providing professional services--deserve basic consideration and acknowledgment. I later noticed that the event recognized vendors, caterers, sponsors, and other contributors, but I did not see any recognition for the artists providing face painting. That was disappointing. Artists are professionals too, and our supplies, skills, experience, and time have value even when we choose to donate them. Before leaving, I asked whether there were any photos or video of me working because I was too busy face painting to take any myself. I was also hoping to receive a simple letter acknowledging my volunteer service and providing some feedback about my work. I reached out afterward, but I haven't received a response or even a letter acknowledging my participation. The actual face-painting experience was enjoyable, and the people I interacted with were courteous. The volunteer coordinator was also kind enough to let me take home one of the pink palettes, which I appreciated. I hope FIRST Tee Silicon Valley takes this as constructive feedback. Organizations that depend on volunteers should make sure those volunteers have water, access to food and breaks, appropriate recognition, and some acknowledgment of the time and professional skills they contribute. I would have loved to leave this experience feeling appreciated. Unfortunately, I left feeling more overlooked than valued.
