Editor's Note: Course closed for business in 09/2019.

Nestled at the base of Mount Diablo, Deer Ridge Golf Club wanders through rolling, oak-dappled hills. The course has several challenging holes but the hazards are balanced by more player-friendly elements like wide, forgiving fairways and generous greens. There is also plenty of room off the tees and at just over 6,300 yards it is a manageable length as well. Though it is gentle enough for beginners, the thoughtful routing and hilly terrain keep it interesting for low handicappers. Deer Ridge Golf Club's front nine is more open and slightly less difficult, but the back nine gets a little trickier with more trees and more dramatic elevation changes coming into play. The terrain gives each hole a unique character and different challenges. The wind can also be a major factor. Good course management will be well rewarded.

Last Time

I’ve played Deer Ridge a number of times over the year and this round today was in memorial to these times, because this Sunday will be their last day for business. Due to high operating expenses and low revenues, they are forced to make this decision,

Sad, very sad! :(

Brentwood's Best?

Overall the course was in decent shape. There were greens that seem to have been attacked by some type of fungus or something. I missed several putts because it was like four wheel drive putting. It's a good course that will challenge you a bit.

Love Deer Ridge

This has become one of my favorite courses to play. I love the layout and the pace of play is generally good. It was baking hot, but what do you expect? It's Brentwood. Can't wait to go back.

We played the front nine in two hours as a foursome. We watched every shot of a twosome in front of us throughout the back nine and waited on every hole.

First Time Playing

Fun course super friendly staff!

This was our first time playing this course. The course is very challenging and greens in very nice condition. There are some fairways under repair but nothing hard to deal with. Love The elevated tees on some holes. Overall a very nice experience.

Some issues noted during our round.
Gardeners cutting grass around greens and not stopping during play, this is just good golf edict when people are chipping & putting. Very distracting. Same on tees.

The holes have no indicator signs at all! You can struggle in some instances find the correct paths! These are just my comments. We very much enjoyed the round and will most definitely be back!

Easy Play

This is a fairly easy course to play despite the pace of on a few of the holes. The course is mostly flat with a few challenging down hill holes. Greens were in pretty good shape and were sometime deceptive in reading the breaks. The course could have been easier to navigate from hole to hole as there were no markers to indicate which hole you were playing.

Pace of play

I don’t often play on a Saturday for many reasons. Was able to play last Saturday and the pace of play was unreal over 5 hours for a round. Never once saw a Marshall come out. Other then that course was nice condition over all.
