Brentwood Golf Club - Hillside/Diablo Course

Disappointed with 14th green. Size is OK but needs to be flattened a bit

The course is a nice layout. At one time it was probably a very nice course, but it’s had its day, and is going downhill.

Now it’s past is hidden behind poor conditions, especially sand traps, and overall landscaping. Lots of weeds, mud, unfinished areas with equipment around, and cracked cart paths.

Personally the Brentwood Golf course with the original creekside and Hill side was one of the best layouts in all of contra Costa. Recently it seems the owner has decided to remove hole 8 on the creekside and modified holes 9 creek and hole 5 hill (14 now) with par 3s. I was quite livid coming off of 7 as I have so much appreciation for the original design. Greens were good fairway was good traps slightly better than they have been these last 5 years. Right now to get people out you do get a beer with your round (supposedly get lunch during the week if prepaid) and they add simulators (didnt try as we arrived just about 20 before tee time: pregnant wife). I have hope that this place will get to where it deserves as it really is quite an amazing track.

I played on the last Saturday in October 24, I was shocked to find out that i was playing alone on a 75 degree day. I was told to head out when ready (20 minutes before tee time). I hit the putting green for 5 minutes before heading out to the #1 tee. I had the tee box to myself and no one else on the first hole, I teed off at 12:45 and landed in a trap 175 yards from the hole. The trap was raked perfectly, and I ended up with a sandy par. The green on the 2nd hole was vandalized in the past and open but still healing. I continued and was pleased with the wide-open fairways and the low number of leaves throughout the course. I did not catch the three some in front of me until the 7th hole and played the front nine in 1hour 45 minutes. The group in front of me allowed time to work on my game, putting, chipping etc before heading to the next hole. The back nine took 2hours 10 minutes for a 3hour 55 minute round.

This was my first time playing BGC so my review is based on that. The course was in good shape with winter conditions in a few wet areas and was very enjoyable for a 12 handicapper

Have played many times at Brentwood, Enjoy the course, and staff, but this was my first time playing as a single

If you book with golf pass and you playing single there is an additional charge of $20.00.

the fairways and tee box are too wet. not every hole but is noticrable.

I have golfed at Brentwood since it opened with three 9 hole courses, an executive par 3 and one of the courses as a walkable 9 hole. The staff has always been friendly and they are still that way.

The first problem is the course itself that is in poor condition with improvised tee boxes and rodents gone wild. They don't have enough maintenance help and the course is beginning to look like a "dog track".

Secondly, some golfers choose to not replace divots/ marks on the greens and to top it off, several greens had "holes punched" from the flag stick. It is beyond rude and unnecessary to vent any frustration on the course which only compounds the issues. We have lost 3 courses in East County over the last few years and it wouldn't surprise me if Brentwood decided it wasn't worth it to keep the course open.

The course has some fun golf holes but it's a little rough. New or what appeared to be temporary or new holes weren't clearly marked. Carts were tattered and rips on seats, brake was bad and it was really noisy.

I won't come back unless I hear its getting better. Good points are the holes that are good are fun, some fairways are nice. The GolfNow hotdeal peice was fair.

They should have kept the original lay out of the course, they deleted 5 holes and made another 5 different holes,the original holes had so much fun to play, they just screwed it up totally, but I still like to play at this course because of the price.

I was surprised there was no areas to practice putting and chipping and the “driving range” is more like a wedge range once you can’t hit it more than 180 yards because of risking nearby houses.

The course needs work. Fun layout but I wouldn’t pay full price.

The course usually has good tee time selection and a decent value for the money. The many changes to the course over the years have not been as positive. But as a backup selection it’s good.

Beginner at golf. Brentwood provides a great environment, staff if helpful and friendly. course is challenging for me, helps me improve my game.

Great value;, private course design, afternoons not crowded.
