Lone Tree Golf Course

About
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.

Lone tree golf
Course in good condition. Staff very friendly and prompt. A great value for the money.
none
We played Lone Tree at noon on Monday and the course and more particularly the greens were
in good condition, mowed and rolled.
We played as a foursome and finished in about 4 hours.
Staff were helpful and cooperative.
Very improved course conditions
The course has seen some rough times lately after making the change to champion bermuda greens. With the summer months allowing for a bit more optimal conditions for those greens, they are now looking great and not playing quite as fast as they had over the heavy rains in the area until late spring. The fairways are in much better shape after those rains as well, looking much more lush and filled in. Sand traps could use some more actual sand, but this is not dissimilar from most public courses in the bay area. Tee boxes were hit or miss through the day, some being well kept and flat others uneven or not much surface to hit from. This is not a problem typically though if you dont mind taking a few steps back from the markers. Overall the course was pleasant to play and would probably be more enjoyable right after a fresh mow, if you are like me and dont always hit fairways. The staff is quick and friendly and prices are fair. Overall enjoyed the round and am pleased at the reasonably quick turnaround on course conditions from just afew months ago.
Line tree a Diamond in the rough
This course has made a complete 180... I swore I would never play here again but then heard of the time, money and energy that was put back into the course. The course is green and lush. The greens are amazing.. can’t believe the turn around this course has made.
Greens are making a comeback!
Greens have finally grown in and are looking great. Greens have not yet been cut and putts are currently abnormally slow. Greens should be cut within a couple of weeks and should be in super shape.
SAND TRAPS
I do not like the fact that your sand traps do not have any sand in them and they're nothing but hard pack wet dirt
Sandy Green Aeration
The only downside is the sand used on the greens during aeration season
Can’t complain for $20
For $20 bucks it is a good value as long as you are not expecting something more. The greens are poor on pretty much every hole .be aware in 1st, 8th and 10 that there are a ton of range ball all over fairways. Can be touch ding your ball. Really need to sweep these up daily.
Greens
The greens on this course is very rough. A lot of sand on the greens as well. Putting can be tough with these greens because you cannot judge how much the greens will altar your balls routes to the hole.
Been to Long
Great course, great people working there.. one of the grounds crew even pointed out a lost ball I could not find after my drive.
Greens are trash
I live in Antioch and used to love playing this course, but the green are simply unplayable. If you don’t mind playing and just working on your ball striking it’s great. It’s disappointing to make a great approach shot on the green and not to be able to putt.
Change in greens was a poor decision.
Albeit, I have not been to a golf course management school, I have played hundreds of different courses throughout my career (very amateur). Lone tree is a staple for me and the boys based on price/location/availability... yet last year, during the prime of the season, they made a change to Bermuda grass greens, if I’m not mistaken. This not only upset the entire season last year, but the greens lay dormant all winter and spring and now have come back with disease ridden patches throughout. You’d have better luck rolling a putt down Lombard than rolling one on here. For the most part, LTGC is a great spot for the money. The food is excellent, although drinks are a bit over priced, and the events center and pro shop are staffed with friendly and attentive people. I don’t know what spurred the decision to change the grass on all of the greens... but at this point, 1 year later, it seems to have been the wrong decision.
We played Lone Tree at noon and finished in about 4
hours.
The course is in reasonable condition but fairways were
being punched at the time of our game.
Greens are the new Bermuda, which are brown in the winter
and green the rest of the year, they were fast and true and
in good order.
I would recommend this course to a friend.
My Cheers Course
Lone Tree is the jewel of Antioch, a shining gem in a town that just can't get its act together.
Ron and his staff have toiled over the last 3 years to really make this course MUCH BETTER. They set out to replace the grass on the greens with a special Bermuda that on the 2 year old greens are flat and fast. Some of the first years greens like 9 are struggling, but Ron's staff is on it, and doing their best with Mother Nature to bring them around. Traps are hit or miss some are excellent some are hard pack, but like many things at Lone Tree, Ron's getting it done.
For the money , this place is a gift! I play here several times a week. It's close, afternoon pace is fast, I've played dozens of 2.5 hours rounds without even working hard.
This ain't pebble, and never will be, but it is a fantastic local course with it highs and lows. Accept it for what it is and you're ALWAYS have a great round,
I sure do!
Save your $
Just save it. I was cussing on here so I can't say what I want. Golf pro/check in dude is rude and course is in horrific shape.
