Shadow Lakes Club

A number of challenging holes. Great use of elevation change throughout the course. I would have given this 5 stars except that the wind was horrible which is the case a lot in Brentwood.

I like Shadow Lakes, you constantly see the staff there being proactive in regards to maintaining the course. There is always a marshal on the course and they seem to make sure the pace is as good as it can be.

Even though the course conditions are not as pristine as they were when originally opened, the course is still challenging. The fairways are not lush but very playable with excellent roll on the greens. With the rather inexpensive afternnon green fees offered daily on golfnow, it is a steal.

This is a course for the more experienced golfer i found it to be very challenging. I will play here again.

Enjoyed the course . It was a little windy the day I played. The staff was very helpful. GREAT views from the top of some of the hills.

Course was in very good condition and greens seemed true.

Fun course to play. Conditions were good and well manicured. The course had friendly staff.

I've played this course several times over the last couple of years, and although it remains a reasonable bargain - especially for families as there is a significant green fee discount for juniors - the course seems to be in a slow steady decline. Last time out the fairways were full of dead spots and ground under repair, the bunkers were rock hard, with weeds encroaching around the edges and taking hold in the bunker itself, and the greens were lumpy and slow. Most of the ball washers near the tee boxes were dry, and the ones that did have water smelled like rotten eggs. There are three other competing courses within a mile of Shadow Lakes, so some improvement is needed if they want to retain customers.

Exciting, never a dull moment. Seemed like we were always hitting uphill, downhill, over hazards and into the wind.

Course was in great shape! The fourth whole looks a lot better around the lake.

I. Played this course 2 days in a row, wednesday was a slow round only because it was 2 for 1 Wednesday and the weather was great so a lot of people were out. The next day was a lot better, pace was fast and conditions were great and will be even better in another week since greens were plugged a few weeks ago. Great course for the money.

Wish they would have advised of the greens being punched on Golfnow.com like the other courses in the same area did.

Had a good time ... greens recently sanded but that was OK.

Unfortunately, I think Golf Now needs to be a little more strict on the aeration status of a course. The greens at Shadow were definitely punched and not fully recovered. I think Golf Now should require courses to state levels of aeration...aerated within past week, aerated within past two weeks, or no reference when they are "fully recovered".

very bad experience with playing experience and the attitude of the marshal I nor my friends won't be returning to this course again. I will be sharing this with my other golf buddies

greens need attention. and staff needs customer service traing. driver range was in good shape as well as the fairways.

SL has an array of challenging but fair holes and great views of Mt. Diablo. Definitely a must play in the East Bay

A good challenge, especially if the wind is in play, which is often. Hilly course with some great looking holes, lots of hazards.

Elevated tees on many holes, elevated greens with blind approach shots on others. Quality greens with slope in every section. Many ponds to avoid.
It was a clear day with views of the snow-capped Sierras, and Mt Diablo is always over your shoulder.

Great course. Challenging, specially the back nine. But took us almost 6 hrs. Overbooked?
