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.

The fact that this venue remains in limbo is illustrated by the lack of attention to the facilities. Literally, THE facilities.
Staff was great. Course was in good shape. Greens were good for Nov., bunkers good too.
Dad n Lad Trip
My son and I had planned a golf day; neither of us are great golfers, so the day is measured by how much fun we had.
The course maintenance had high and low spots. The course actively had mowers dancing about and generally the fairways and greens were in good shape. Although the traps were clean and freshly raked, they could use a lot more sand. Spots in the course were over watered and left sink holes in the fairways, and mud holes throughout the course. The course layout is suitable for the beginning and average golfer, it shows little challenge for a great golfer.
The part that chapped my behind was the fact that both the restaurant and the bar were closed. We planned the day with a tee time that had lunch at the turn, and had a wife that drove us to and from the course so we could have a couple beers and closing cocktails.... didn’t happen, thus my fun level (the yard stick used to quantify the experience) was very low. We will plan another outing, it just won’t be at Deer Ridge.
Hello, we are sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars. We hope you'll give us another try in the near future. Thanks for choosing Deer Ridge Golf Club!
Riding solo not guaranteed
I reserved a tee time by myself thinking I would be given a cart all to myself however I was forced to share with an unknown golfer. Is that the rule?
I should I have been given an option to ride solo?
Nice place to spend a few hours
First time playing here, staff was very friendly, course was in good condition and pace of play was good. Got around in about 4 hours. And only had to wait once or twice. All in all a nice place to play.
Hi Kevin, we appreciate the great review! We're happy to hear you enjoyed your round with us and hope to see you again soon. Thanks for playing #DeerRidgeGolfClub!
Perfect Day.....
Until we caught up to a miserable foursome that had NO common sense or etiquette to let us play through even though most EVERY hole three of the four would be looking for there balls and no one was in front of them for as far as you could see(at least 3 holes)So from then on the game got really bad and people starting coming up on us from behind when we were two to three holes ahead of anyone near the 4th hole
Hello, thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. We're sorry to hear your experience was anything less than 5-stars. We hope this doesn't deter you from returning for another round soon. Thanks for playing Deer Ridge Golf Club.
Brentwood golf
Of the two public courses in Brentwood it is the better one in terms of conditions.
College tournament mid-afternoon Saturday?!
My friends and I decided to try and give this place another chance. I previously wrote a review about this course and how terrible the greens were and while the condition of the course seemed a little better this round (esp the 10th fairway), there was a college tourney on a Saturday.
We had a tee time @ 1:14PM, but actually tee'd off a little past 1:30PM. I didn't mind so much since we were the first group out after the tournament and I was expecting to finish still, but we didn't. Daylight ended around 6:40PM and we were still on Hole 15 so we had to call it. Extremely upset since we were waiting on every tee box for about 15-20 mins for the 1-2 groups of the college tourney to finish.
No warning from the pro shop whatsoever and no rain check or marshal to accommodate us after the round. Golfing in the far east bay is already hard, so I will add this to the list of "Do not play" courses.
The Round That Didn’t Happen
Unfortunately I wasn’t able to play today because the course scheduled a college tournament right before I was supposed to tee off. They were already behind on the tee sheet and they didn’t seem overly concerned about it. There would have been no way I could have finished the round even if I had waited around to play. It would have been nice to have know this information up
front. I wouldn’t have taken the time to drive almost an hour to play the course. Why a college match was scheduled on a Saturday baffles me.
Deer Ridge Round
The course is in good shape, even though the green were sandy.
Deer Ridge
Deer Ridge course is in "fair" shape overall, but the greens are very nice. The lack of water is very noticeable. Tee markers missing on all holes. Brentwood "Sister" course, Shadow Lakes, closed evidently for lack of play.
Dear Ridge
We got a great rate with the GolfNow 36 bucks 1030 in the morning played the front nine in an hour and a half the back nine in an hour 45 minutes we were threesome . The only bad part of the day was all of their water Juggs were empty when we were told that every three holes there’s a full water dispensary and they were empty we got to the 11th they were filling the rest of them.Otherwise we will be back
Course with lots of variability and challenges
Course has holes with little or no elevation changes and holes with lots of elevation changes so you get to use almost every club in your bag. Course is laid out well for golfers of different abilities.
Deer Rdige
Pace of play sucked. Tee time at 8:58, got put at 9:15 (two groups behind.
The round ended at 2:40!!! 5 and 1/2 round.
the course was in good condition. there was sand on a couple of greens. the sand traps could use some sand in them and the number 10 fairway needs some work. The greens were a little slower then I remember. great value today 21 dollars with a cart. I enjoy the layout and hope that they can continue to improve the course. I will come back and play again.
Horrible Greens
The drive into this place is deceiving because it’s a nice looking neighborhood so you’d think the golf course would be just as nice, but it’s not . HORRIBLE GREENS...I’ve played all over the Bay Area and i haven’t seen a course where every hole you expected your putt to be bumpy and slow. The 10th hole is atrocious looking from tee to green. Pace of play was okay , but we did wait on several holes. I like the simplistic layout of the course, but it needs a lot of TLC.
Poor
The greens are not good a lot of bumps and they haven't took care of there greens
