About
Shadow Lakes Golf Club sprawls across rolling hills with Mount Diablo looming in the background. Dramatic elevation changes characterize the course, providing both challenges and scenic views of the East Bay Area. The undulations of the terrain range from subtle to dramatic and helped to determine the strategic placement of the sharply sculpted bunkers, of which there are many. The design of the golf course blends seamlessly with the existing landscape with swaths of native grasses outlining each hole and natural rocky outcroppings coming into play throughout. The course incorporates links-style characteristics as well as a variety of different challenges including water hazards and deep rough. One particularly memorable water hole is the par-4 16th. This is Shadow Lakes Golf Club's signature hole that features an island green that slopes in front, back into the water.

Great Course, Excellent Experience, Best Value in Area
The course has a great layout offering many risk/reward shots. Greens were in excellent shape and our group had a really good time, especially for $34. The food in restaurant has become way better, street taco's were some of the best I have ever had.
Golf Now reservations not working here
Our tee time through Golf Now was not honored, so we got squeezed in after the local mens club tournament went off ahead of us. We were about 30 minutes late teeing off.
The course conditions are decent in most places and poor in others. Lots of bare turf with mud around cart paths/tee boxes. Some fairways were bad. Holes 1-3 were just plugged and all the plugs left in the fairway.
Most if not all bunkers were pitiful. packed sand from over watering and looked like they hadn't been dragged in a while.
The greens were in good shape as the sun got hotter. Our first tee (#10, went off back), the person setting the cup drove his cart right on the green and left big tire tracks in everyone's line...two sets of tracks around the hole.
It will be a while before I think about going here again.
If you like elevation changes in the holes, this is the course for you.
This is a good course to challenge your skills with many elevation changes and other challenges but you can score well if you keep the ball in play.
Course
Fun course to play, in good condition with nice people in both the pro shop & bar
Shadow On a hot day
It was a warm day, but the conditions of the course were great. Like a normal time of the year here in Brentwood, the wind comes up and it makes playing the course challenging. It is a beautiful place to play.
Hot Day
The pace of play was good and the course was in fair shape. There was a drink cart available for the first 9 holes but did not see it again after the turn around 2 pm. The most disappointing thing was the water jugs on the course were empty and it was 101 deg afternoon.
Quick Sun Morning Round
7am start, finished at 11am, and paid $34 bucks for a Sunday round. Can't complain greens were pretty quick and a fun day
Shadow Lakes a good challenge
Nice setup quality looks at the east bay hills reasonable rates in the afternoon can get windy , wasn't when I played .liked the elevation changes and elevated tees.Golf course is in great shape and greens are true .will definitely find my way back.
4th of July 2014 - Late Afternoon Round
Our threesome went out at 4:00 p.m. on the fourth of July. The Golfnow price was $20 each! That's with 18 holes with cart! Now, the temp was 100 with some hot dry wind, but overall good weather conditions. We were the last group out that day. We took our time and finished before 7:45.
The course was in good condition, although some greens have enough goose droppings on them to make the green nearly unplayable! Fairways were hard and traps are treacherous! I play here a lot, so no surprises for me.
The twilight rate makes this a great bargain. 12 years ago, Troon Golf was charging $85 to play Shadow!
Ragged
Pretty decent layout with good variety of holes. Not well maintained. Bunkers are terrible. Greens are okay but slow.
this course worth to recommend to other player who didn't plan here before
course condition is good and course design is very unique; it is very challenge course.
over watered
the fairways and bunkers were muddy.California is in a drought.every one is conserving water why is shadow lakes wasting water.
Great staff
Helpful and nice! Course looked good and I recommend this course over roddy any day
Tiger Who
The greens are rolling really good right now. Fairways are in great condition. The bunkers need sand and a cart girl all through the day when the temp is above 90. Shot a 82, not bad but had 3 holes with 3 putts.
discount golf
We were able to book a 2 PM time for Fathers Day and paid 24.00 with cart .
We brought dad - uncle- and nephew and had a blast- thank you golf now and Shadow lakes for making life affordable .
Poor fairways and sandtraps
There are too many well conditioned courses in this area to put up with the poor fairway conditions and wet sand traps.
Review Of Shadow Lakes
Condition has gone down hill over the years. I have played this course since it opened. Back then great conditions, not true anymore. Not sure if it is funding, staffing or training.
Poorly maintaned dry sod around traps
Several bare lies
Horrible Bunkers
Good course for the price on a Sunday
My only complaint is the the geese and birds on a few holes like 4 they are everywhere and there waste is everywhere on the greens to.
Nice!…..but
The front nine is in great shape, but you are in for a surprise come the back. most of the tee boxes are shot! lots of goose sh@# and very dry conditions on fairways, with bunkers that are crusty and full of gravel and dirt. Pace of play really slowed on the back, with NO marshall ever in sight. I may come back, but the back nine will need a lot of attention to make it worth the drive.
