Played West Cliffs twice, the first time it was not easy as the signage and walks from green to tee were not always well signposted. Greens were very fast and grainy which made putting interesting. The second time we played there was an hour delay due to fog and when we did start it was from the tenth and no one told us that they had treated the greens which nothing like the 1st time. They were covered in sand and were very slow.
