Slow AF

Second time in a row playing shadow Lakes as a 5round ,Unacceptable. The two out of town gentleman that I played with will never return because of the slow pace of play. The conditions of the course are good the layout is also good, but hard to recommend it at 5 hours a round

Shadow Lakes is back!

After a long wait, Shadow Lakes is back to 18 holes! I first want to express my sincere gratitude to all the people behind the scenes that made this possible. Also a ton of thanks to the grounds crew who put in all the work.

I used to play out in Antioch a lot in the mid 2010's, when Roddy Ranch, Deer Ridge, Shadow Lakes and Brentwood were all at it's prime. Since then we have lost Roddy, Deer Ridge, Shadow. I heard rumors about Shadow opening back up, and a while back they opened 9 holes. It was fun to be back, but nothing compared to the full 18. Since the re-opening of 9 holes, they have been working behind the scenes to bring back the other 9. I couldn't tell if this were just rumors or something that was true. Finally, after long anticipation, it opened up the full "original" 18 holes two weeks ago. I couldn't wait to get back and finally made it back on 10/30/23. I was shocked and so happy to be back. I was shocked how beautiful the course was. It was like nothing had changed. I can't imagine all the hard work and planning that went into bringing this gem of the Bay Area back, but again I want to express my thanks. I will be coming out weekly and "donating" my money back to the course to show thanks.

Everything was fun. Greens were fast and hard, traps had sand, tee boxes were nice. I can't even think of anything to criticize!

5 starts!

Fslow round

Shadow Lakes recently re-open to an 18 hole course which is the good news. The bad , courses not mark very well for distances or yardages. Staff was not overly friendly and it took five hours to play around. No Marshalls, clubhouse does not answer the phone when you call. Courses in good condition and it is a good layout.

Mesmerizing Views Of Mount Diablo

The ups and downs at this course are interesting. The smallest green is the 190 par 3 14th over water hazard with water right too. It’s probably the easiest/flattest green on the course if you manage to hit a good tee shot that must be long and straight.

. ..Tbis hole will open as will 8 others completing this 18 hole track that has had its closures and now reopening after seeing what 9 holes Played twice and a range looked like…

Some pin positions will give you Vertigo. A few approaches will roll back if you dont play to middle when front pins.

It’s a very interesting track interwoven between hills, lakes, and lateral hazards with uphill and downhill shotmaking required and slope knowledge especially on 18.

Go get some. It’ll be 18 next week.

I’m sure the homeowners surrounding the property are going to benefit from this re opening…

Don’t book on golf now

If you book on golf now it won’t be on their tee sheet. They don’t use golf now. Call direct to course to book.

Friendly staff but…

I can see this “could” be a great course. I wasn’t aware the course is being renovated and they loop mixture of holes to produce a 9/18. I’ll check back when it’s complete and update my review. For those whole use a tracking watch, you’ll have to guess which hole you’re playing if you never played before.
