Northcliffe Golf & Country Club is one of the most beautiful and well maintained golf courses in the San Antonio and New Braunfels area. The par-72 golf course is enjoyable for the average golfer, yet a challenge to the low-handicap players.
Lots of water, trees and rolling fairways and greens make Northcliffe Golf & Country Club a fun course to play. Players of all skill levels will find this golf course a challenge. It's the closest course to Retama race track, so you heavy betters can have a full day and night. The Northcliffe Golf & Country Club staff is user friendly and professional.

course
course in very bad condision, ....Greens little grass,very little sand in traps ,fairways not mowed well. Would not pay to play agin
Under invested
Have played Northcliff 15 times over the last 3 years, mainly for the proximity to home. Despite being one of the most frequented area courses, owners can't figure out how to improve the horrible greens, or landmine parking lot. I'm only an 18 handicapper who golfs 15 times a year. I just won't play Northcliff any longer. I'll drive a bit further and pay a bit more elsewhere in order to help my game and mindset.
Extremely disappointed
As a weekend golfer, Northcliffe is one of my favorite courses to play because of its layout and it's a fun course. I often take friends and family there. But, we played there yesterday and the greens were in terrible shape. I'm not one to complain much about any course, but I was extremely disappointed! I don't see myself playing there anytime soon.
Total mess
This course has not had any maintenance in years. A total mess. Worse golf course I have ever played..
Sux
They should be arrested for taking money to play this course. The greens are unputtable. Absoluely some of the worst i have ever seen.
What you'd expect
Paid $16 on Golfnow and was what you'd expect. Scruffy fairways and worst greens I've ever played. Took wife on ride along, who reported no running water in restrooms on course and in clubhouse. Course waterlogged in spots. Overall course maintenance terrible. OK for a cheap value round, but a complete whiff for golf experience. If you can, pay $10 more and go elsewhere.
Greens need work
Greens need a lot of work and some standing water in some fairways. Good for the price but don't be expected good course conditions.
Nice course close to San Antonio, TX
In spite of the rainy days, the fairways were in good shape. The only issue have been an under maintenance green replaced by a temporary one on the fairway. The nice layout made enjoyable the round.
Hanging on the cliff
Had a relaxing round of golf with the significant other and we enjoyed this course
Bad course
The course is in terrible condition. The greens have dead spots where dirt is. The sand traps were like concrete. Temporary green on 13 was in the fairway and really no distinction.
Needs tlc
Needs a lot of work.fairways an greens.
Northcliff Oct 2016
The course was in very poor condition. The greens had wild rye and ant hills. Sand traps had no sand and grass scattered throughout. The fairways had not been recently mowed. Definitely not an enjoyable round of golf.
Very poor conditions
The greens were horrible. It was more like putt putt with all of the obstacles. I will not play there again.
Terrible maintenance and upkeep
This was the second time we played Northcliffe. The first time, the course was in terrible shape - greens were in bad shape (sandy, rough, dead spots, etc..), the fairways were playable but not great. The second time we played, the course was in the worst shape of any golf course I have EVER played. We lost balls IN THE FAIRWAY! The grass had not been cut in days or weeks, The greens were pretty much unplayable. We decided to take a "2-putt" score after reaching the green due to the fact that putting was more like an obstacle course. Some greens were more like putting from a sand trap. Not even worth the $10+taxes and fees - won't be going back.
Avoid this course
The course Itself is not bad for what you pay. However, I got bitten bad by mosquitos the entire day. Still in pain the day after. I will not be returning
Replace Golf Marshall
This was our 1st time for my golf partner and I to play this course, we play twice a week and and thought we may have found a new course to play, mistake. The staff at the club house were amazing and so friendly as I checked in, I came back to my female golf partner with the golf cart and mentioned that to her while we loaded our bags. The problem was the Marshall.... 1st thing he did was make my female partner feel very uncomfortable by the stare he gave her and then he accused us of having an ice chest! We started our round, now that same Marshall came back to "Check Up On Us" 5-times in the first 4-holes!!! Sometimes he would sneak across another fairway to come to or near us!
As you expect, we will never go there again!
Not worth the $
Course is in poor shape with large piles of grass clippings just off of the fairway. Fairways are rock-hard. Greens are S-L-O-W. Staff is not accommodating and think very highly of the course. Definitely will not be going back.
