Excellent golf course

It was A good experience to play in this golf course.Very good condition and well maintain.Pace of play are in order.Although it’s a little bit warm at that day and A little further from the Bay Area Where we live is worth traveling to this beautiful golf course. I don’t mind going back to play again and definitely I will recommend this to other golf player.

Diablo Grande

Course Tee to Green was in good shape for the most part; however greens left a little to be desired as they where VERY SLOW; and inconsistent with some dead brown areas on the putting surface that where not very nice; also the bunkers where very hard and little sand ; every sand trap I was in (4-5 in the round) where very “crunchy”; hard and consisted of lots of rocks and pebbles that scratched or damaged your wedges or iron that you where hitting in the sand traps. Also the top coat of sand was WAY to thin; meaning that under the sand felt like concrete or hard to the point that you worried about injuring yourself!
Overall I had fun and still enjoyed the course especially for the value of the HOT DEAL @ $24. If I had paid the full rate of $50 about I would not be very happy with the conditions

Beautiful and Challenging Course

This was our second time playing this course this week. The staff are very friendly and eager to assist with any questions or needs. The course is in very nice shape with beautiful tees and high overlooks. There are many challenges throughout the course. My wife loves the woman’s tee’s since some of the shots are over small canyons. This is now one of our favorite courses and we will definitely be back very soon :-). Cost is very reasonable for a course of this type.

Beautiful and challenging

We found this course while looking for new courses in our area. My wife is new to golf and we are expanding our choices since she is improving . This course is beautifully laid out with very challenging holes and traps galore. The staff are wonderful and eager to assist in any and all your needs. The course is a very peaceful fun day with wildlife and beautiful views. I highly recommend this course if you are looking for a fun and challenging day of golf. The cost is very reasonable for a course of this caliber, we will be back very soon.

A Good Idea that didn't pan out...

Home owners changed front gate security policy, and because of it, got stuck at the front gate in a long line of cars for 25 min. They need a better process. My tee times were messed up between GolfNow and Diablo. Times were changed to a later tee time than originally booked. Had a group of six players in front of us which dramatically slowed down pace of play. The course was in horrible shape, very dry and the bunkers had hard sand.

Got a Moose special so figured why not.

This course had good reviews and was only 45 minutes away so we booked it and headed over.. It's deep :)it's pretty out there., but check in was easy. Carts are solid (no ice ,but coolers, odd).

Range: well no drivers and the mats are really old. I would say the range is bad, does the trick but no one really wants to start a round with only having played off a mat (bad mojo). So has a range, but it's pretty sparse and no drivers allowed. Free however.

The golf course appears to be well cared for and it was an enjoyable course, some holes you had to lay up and not go for it, a few blind corners, lots of elevation changes. Great water holes(ish). They had a beverage cart, which seems to be a losing trend. Nothing to eat at the turn , just restrooms. Tboxes were clean.

One thing that irritated us, is there were very few markings to tell us if we were at the right hole, no hole markers, nor distance information (other than on the card (BUT)). They do mark the course really well, lots of lil pucks showing yardage throughout the course, that is a plus!!

We enjoyed it and would play there again. Just hope we don't get stuck behind a slow 4some again that had many opportunities to allow us to play through., but I guess they figured allowing 2 other 2 somes through was enough.

But ya neat course... I liked it and playing it the second time, would be a lot less, "where does this hole go and how should I play it " :)

Great course and value. Out in the middle of nowhere. Just far from San Jose. No cell service whatsoever. GPS on the carts would have helped.
