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.

6 hours ....behind a 5 ball and nobody cared
What a mess, we played 18 holes and it took 6 hours in 95F heat with no water to drink on the course and no drinks cart. Someone could die and so it was a full day and we all talked about it all day long, no fun.
When we told the guy behind the counter at the turn he said he would come out and get the group in front to let us thru. He never did.
Avoid this place.
nine twice
Only complaint was that the course had nine holes that you played twice. I probably wouldn't' have booked it if I'd known that. My problem was really with my scoring app which had the old layout and was useless.
Stay away from this course
Went there all the way from Santa Rosa on a hot deal the kid told me that the hot deal says that I'm supposed to play and ride with somebody else I told them you're tripping and that you're pulling a scam he told me I would have to pay $20 in order to ride by myself so I took $20 out and told them if you take this $20 I'm forced to write a bad review so here I am
Great Little (But Big) Course
Great little course with the carts. Each hole is interesting. Had a great time. We went when it was about 200 degrees outside but what a blast. The greens were well taken care of and the fairways are unmatchable. Thanks again.
My GPS watch did not work here--mismash layout
You get about what your pay for -- the same 9 holes twice.
Good value
The course was enjoyable to play, and could not beat the rate for a weekend day! I was not aware that this course is a 9 hole course you play twice for the 18 holes, so should be noted!
My problem is with GolfNow. Very disappointed with golfnow. I pay annually for this service.
They should have let us know that this course is now only nine holes. To play 18 holes you have to repeat the 9. I would have not played if I had known that
The course only has nine holes. That means you have to play twice can get in 18. I was not made aware of this otherwise I would not have played. This is a Golf Now issue for not making it clear.
Great Work in Progress
This course has just reopened. I believe golfers need to be patient in their expectations as to course conditions. I think they are doing great and if you look around you can see that they are continuing to work on developing and improving this course. I have played at a number of courses that are not clearly as groomed as this one. At this time it is a nine hole course so golfers need to be aware of this. They also are working on the club house and amenities.
Great Possibilities, need work.
Nice layout, but there are still a lot of work left to make it a good course. The greens do roll nicely.
Course conditions.
Although the greens were in good condition, the fairways not so much. I expected the course to be in better condition since it’s re-opening. Still needs work, but glad to see it open again. Hopefully by spring it will get the work it needs.
Great to see an old friend
Great to see Shadow back open even if it’s only 9 holes. A little unorganized but the Staff was doing their best . Get out and give it a try
Disappointed to see it’s not a complete 18
Sadly they haven’t brought this course near the level it once was. Very disappointed that GolfNow didn’t let us know if we wanted to play 18 holes, we had to play the same 9 again.
Welcome Back!
Used to play this course with my father years back along with Deer Ridge just right across the street. Was devastated to see this place close initially & was very hopeful to see what’s to come when news came of the driving range reopening here. Always knew the green complexes never stopped being maintained here based on my experience driving by & also google maps funny enough. Nonetheless the layout here is a joyful & fair challenge for golfers of all skill sets. Front 9 has now been re-routed to make holes 7 & 8 back to back Par 3’s with water protecting the front of the 7th at around 170 out & water surrounding the 8th from 150 max(if black tees were in place). Astonished to see how much progress has been made in such a short amount of time & can’t wait too see what’s too come in the future for this gem. Thank you to the community & all involved in for bringing this place back to life!
welcome surprise
Was glad to see the availability of a foursome the day after Thanksgiving...Greens were in fantastic shape and overall the course was in great shape for this time of year. Bunkers were poorly maintained. Was overall very happy knowing the limited service at this course and look forward to playing it again soon
