First time playing this course and I was very pleased with the condition of the course. The course was very forgiving, which is always a plus for hack like me. However, the pace was HORRIBLE. We bailed after hole 14, at which point we had all ready been on the course for close to 5 hours. Not even 1 sighting of a Marshall on the course.

According to the staff, we had no tee time confirmed. I try to present a confirmation # via email and there response was

“I don’t care what you have there. Your not in the computer. For some apparent reason golfnow and our systems haven’t been on the same page for sometime.”

When it was all said and done there were able to fit us in but not before some conflict with other parties waiting too tee off. To make matters worse...turned out to be a 6.75 hr round. Not acceptable!

My first time to play the course and found it to be very similar to many of the rural courses in the Midwest I grew up playing. The pace of play was good and there were some interesting holes (10 & 17) that kept things fun. Disappointed that there was no beverage cart all day and the course had good traffic. We enjoyed lunch before the round and will definitely be back with other guests as we felt it was a good value as well.

Overall the course is in great condition. Visiting the area for a few weeks and have played 11 rounds at different courses. Diablo ranked #1 or 2 of the 11 I played. I will play Diablo again next time I'm in the area. I was playing as a single so the starter paired me with a twosome who were a pleasure to play with. Best thing about golf is the people we meet. The birdie on 18 wrapped up a very enjoyable round. Thanks to Diablo grounds crew your doing a fantastic job.

I decided to play Diablo Creek on Monday. It was fantastic. The greens are in such good shape the fairways are dialed in. it was just a great day overall I will be there again soon but I just wish they would drop the regular rate I only play when it’s a hot deal on golf now. They used to serve lunch with the green fee now they’re not even doing that maybe they should look into serving lunch again with your green fee if your going to charge that amount but it’s a great course

Pace of play was fantastic but I understood that it was not normal. The greens were in very good condition but difficult to score on because of the heavy undulation on some of the greens. Fairways were in good condition. Pretty straightforward course with everything in front of you. Very windy day.

Diablo Creek is one of the best conditioned courses in the East Bay. The greens were perfect and so was the weather. The fairways were smooth and nicely

mown. I have seen the tee boxes better. We went off

at noon (twosome) and played in 3 1/2 hours. A great day at a fun course.

This is one of the best public courses in the Bay Area. Course is in excellent shape. Greens were quick but fair. Only compliant is the pace of play was very slow because they had let two groups of five out and we never saw a marshall helping to move them along. A mid week round of 5 hrs is to long.

The course was okay. Fair shape and design, BUT THE PACE OF PLAY was ridiculously slow. What's even worse is that I saw the cart lady about 5 times, but the course marshal 0 times! Me and a friend tee'd off at 12:16PM in which we were grouped up with another 2 some, but we didn't get to finish our round. The 4 some in front of us was so slow we ended up calling it due to darkness after the 16th hole.

If the course is gonna charge more than other local courses, please have someone speed up the play.

Nice greens. Fairways are mostly green (I suppose the rains have made a difference), always feels long to me. This is one course where I don't do that good (as a 16 handicap). DC tends to be charging a little more than the other area courses. But not this time as it is a Tuesday afternoon in autumn and GolfNow had a hot deal the night before I played.

Booked a tee time for 11:04, didn't get out till 11:44. The lady in the pro shop advised us that there is a 30 minute window of when you book a tee time. I've used golf now forever and have never heard of this. Is this something new?

Please do a better job at letting online users know that the price paid at the course is either walking or riding. It's frustrating to get to the course thinking you are paying one price only to find out it's much higher with riding vs. walking, Consumers pay a fee for your service; please make it clear what is to be paid to the course.

And on another note; I played the previous weekend at Lone Tree; fortunately the course was nice enough to let me know the price on GolfNow was more than a promotional rate they had. It saved me $24 dollars; and the course didn't have to do that. Why then should I pay for your service if it's inaccurate? Try harder!
