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.

Cart Path Only?
A beautiful sunny day after all the rain we had. Course conditions were very good, greens were in good shape as the 2 different grasses start the Spring growth season. Not really sure why it was cart path only as on most holes the fairways were quite firm and could have easily taken cart traffic. I will definitely return for more golf.

Could not play the back nine because it was too crowded!

Good Overall
When checking in, was told they would let us know when a cart was available. No golf carts?? Borrowed one from a group finishing their round. Switched to another cart at the turn. Greens were a mess, so bumpy we invoked a two putt rule. Fairways were great. Bunkers were okay, looked like they were replenishing the sand in many. For the cost, I would come back and play again.

DEER RIDGE HAS CLOSED
I am heartbroken. Another great golf course closes permanently. Is there no future for municipal golf courses? Very sad!
Labor day golf
Great layout. The course is in good shape. It seems like there are new grounds keepers. Still need to put sand in the traps. It would be nice to have a good practice facility. I'll be back to play again though.

Deer Ridge Rocks!
I have played this course quite a few times and I must say it never gets easier nor boring. Conditions are great and the price is amazing.
Deer Ridge was in excellent condition, pace of play was great, really good round
Thanks for the great review! Book another round with us soon.
Good Layout
Good amateur course with varying holes in terms of slope and distance. Handles rain well in the fairways and rough. Currently greens are not good - splotches and bumps....traps suffering from runoff and lack of fresh sand....normal winter issues for local public courses.

Condition of greens
Greens were very bumpy. It appeared like there were different types of grass in sections on the greens.

Bad Greens
Course was flooded. 5 hour round on a weekday and greens were absolutely terrible.

Slow and bumpy
First time here. My buddy wanted to play here. I have to say the greens were very bumpy with different colors or grass of different lengths. Some fairways were very bad condition. We quit out early due to the slow play in front of us 15 holes took us 4 hours. I liked the layout but nothing worth making me drive an hour to go back.
