Lone Tree Golf & Event Center sits at the base of Mount Diablo State Park, tumbling across rolling hills that provide panoramic views of the scenic San Juaquin River Delta region. It is one of the most popular golf courses among local Bay Area golfers. The name of the course is misleading since the beautiful landscape is covered with mature forests filled with a variety of indigenous trees including majestic Red Oaks, Cypress, Eucalyptus, and Ponderosa Pines. These towering treetops make navigating the course pretty tricky. Accuracy is essential as is precise shot placement. The trees border the rolling fairways and there are bunkers strategically placed along the greensides. In 1990, Lone Tree's greens were completely redone except for those on the 12th and 15th, which are the two smallest on the golf course.

Great afternoon at Lone Tree

Played Sunday, May 1st and the course was in excellent condition. I enjoyed this round the most of any I've played in the last six months. Great price for a Sunday morning too.

Slackers

Our new go to course. Best value in the Bay area. Pace of play is fantastic mornings or afternoon. At least 5 signature holes in my book. Greens fare excellent. Perfect for middle handicap players. Great bar with great staff.

Poor Tee Time Management

Great Course

I am fairly new to the game of golf and have now played Roddy Ranch, Delta View, Brentwood Golf Club, and Lone Tree and I have to say that Lone Tree is an underrated course in terms of the amenities, service, and course conditions.

The course is almost always well maintained and the wet winter has really helped it out with only a few rough spots needing attention (we have been in the worst drought on record!). The driving range is terrific with mats and lights. The putting green is great and they also have a practice bunker at the chipping area. (The chipping practice area is rather small).

The facilities really set this course apart with a great locker room and pro shop. The restaurant is very nice with a large patio and food that is absolutely phenomenal! I am very serious when I say that this is one of the best restaurants in Antioch, and reasonably priced I might add.

The course is of moderate to low difficulty, in my opinion, with wide fairways (forgiving) and not many elevation changes. In all, a great course to play and relax!

Love this vourse

Just wish they would tell you that the greens were plugged when you go to book. always love the course but when you don't always get a chance to play its really disappointing when you tee off and get to the first green and it's plugged. Big let down.

Lone Tree

Overall this course is good and the prices are very reasonable. I played on a day just 2 days after big weekend rain storms, so the fairways were saturated and there was some standing water in a few places. Because of all of the winter rainfall the grass in the rough off the fairways was deep. So for winter conditions not bad and the greens were good, but I lost a lot of balls that normally would easily have been playable if the rough didn't swallow them up. All in all though the course played good and I would recommend this course to anyone looking to get out midweek late afternoon. Starting at 3:15 I was able to get 18 holes in right at dusk 7:30.

45 min behind and weak cart batteries

Started out badly by having to wait 45 min after my t-time. During the round numerous carts were dying and was taking a long time to replace. The foursome in front of us had one of their carts die on the 10th and it took close to 45 minutes to get a replacemention. My cart died on the 14 th hole and after numerous calls, it was never replaced. My cart partner and I had to hoof it the rest of the way. This was hard for senior citizens. There were many abandoned dead carts in the course. My friend and I paid for a cart and the course should have provided decent carts that will last the round. This problem was not handled well.

Sloppy when wet

Good value for the money, but this course showed many signs of winter dormancy as well as greens that had many dead (dark grey/black) spots. I'm not sure if it was the weather or not, but the greens rolled like hitting on Velcro. MANY short putts through the day. Many areas of fairway were completely soaked and/or pooled with rain in the week preceding this game.

Don't waste your time and money

Lonetree was a descent course years ago, now it's a rathole..fairways are beaten up, greens are diseased and patchworked...the only reason i finished the round was because of longtome friends had invited me to use Golfnow, It would've embarrassed my friends who lived near there, so I didn't complain to management. My son worked there whIle he was in highschool in the 9o's...it's ruined, a real dishonor to the game of golf. .

The greens are not good.

I played this course hundreds of times when I was a young golfer, and the quality of the greens was the best feature of Lone Tree. Unfortunately, the greens currently appear to be infested with fungus, so they're a mess.

Green speeds were reasonably fast, but turf was missing all over the place and a smooth roll was impossible.

The fairways and tees are all in decent condition for this time of year, and the clubhouse is great, but the greens--no.

Low Hot Deal but feeling cheated

What can I say? Course was over watered, probably due to dried, dying grass all over the course. But worst is that practically all greens are in terrible shape! Won't come back anytime soon.

Great course for polite "newbie" golfers.

As an occasional beginner golfer this is a great course. Friendly golfers. We have always been able to let golfers pass around without a problem. Always go early afternoon and it is not too busy.
