Expensive for what it is, but perfect for my needs

Thought $40 to ride was excessive given only 9 holes, but took my wife and another couple out for their first rounds and it was great for our needs. Course is in good shape (first time here so comparing it to other 9 hole executives I've played) with smooth greens and tee boxes that don't look like a Warzone. Good layout that provides a challenge for the experienced player who wants to put the driver away. Pace was slow, about 3:30 for a Sunday afternoon round but that worked for our group as we weren't holding anyone up with the beginners. They don't have enough carts so we teed off 30 minutes late waiting for some. Onsite bar/restaurant is top notch with great food. We will be back but as soon as the wife is ready for 18 holes we will be going elsewhere unless rates come down.

Always a good choice!

Always a good course to play, even when running slow, you can be off course around 2.5 hours.

Benit2winit

Here we go again. Another review of a course I like. love diablo hills. Arguably the best best 9 hole in contra Costa county..
The course is always well maintained.
I love the ball and club cleaners attached to the carts.
Although it's a 9 hole it's par 34. Where else do you find a par 5 on an executive course? Seriously bring you driver most of the holes are par 4. 250+.
The club house is among the best sports bars in walnut creek.
However, you get booked on top of others. 7 minutes between t offs virtually guarantees a back up on the first 3 or 4 holes,usually stretches out after that.

They are proud of their carts. At 15 $ a rider and it was comical to see the cantankerous fellow at the pro shop insist that one of our party would also jump in 5he cart ( only one of 4 rented a cart). Kinda funny. But all in good play.

Anyway play this course. 25 is spendy for 9 in the east bay but there is value in the 2300 yarder. Plan on 3 plus hours
Have fun and happy sticks!

Fun but, slow

Great round, had fun. Just a slow start 20 min wait between 1st and second hole. It was a weekend I guess. Course is looking pretty good.

Still a good track

It's a simple and short track, but the course is relaxed and the holes are more interesting than other 9 hole facilities in the area. Greens weren't fast but overall conditions were good.

Surprised

I had not played here in years. I was pleasantly surprised at the condition of the course. The fairways were nice, very playable. The greens were in good shape and very fair to roll 'em on. The tee boxes were in good shape. I will return to play again and would recommend playing here if you're looking to play a pleasant nine!

Diablo Hills Review

Course was nice and enjoyable. It was a little slow but nice 9 hole course to walk. You get to use your woods on this course. You're not limited on you club selections. Signs directing you to direction of the next holes would be nice since this was my first time playing here.

The bar was nice and the food was tasty. Good selection of beers. I also, had a delicious French dip sandwich.
