Diablo Grande Golf & Country Club

This is one of our favorite courses. It is just terrible that it will be closed on Sunday October 20, 2019. I truly hope they find a buyer since Troon Golf is letting it go!
This course is very challenging and beautiful views. We played one last round yesterday to say goodbye to one of our favorites in the Central Valley

It was raining when we got there but stopped before our tee time. We teamed up with a single name Ron. Nice guy we had a great day. Course is hard but fun. Conditions were good. The sand is not the best.

Had a great day playing today. The pace was fast and the course is really in great shape.

We had a great time. The pace was perfect and the day was great weather wise and the layout was challenging.
This was my second time golfing at this course and the common denominator with both days was the still quiet throughout the golf course.

The course is an excellent layout, other than the ridiculous 12th hole, a par 5. There is plenty of elevation change, as nearly every hole is built into the rolling hills. Not every par 4 requires a driver, as some strategy for the geography is required. The area containing holes 8 through 11 may be one of the most beautiful stretches of holes in the entire valley, with wide open interconnected fairways, up hill/downhill lies and water. All in all, a fine layout in pretty good shape (although the greens could use a bit more speed), well worth both the money and the drive!

Challenging golf course, well kept, great course layout

Excellent round of golf today, saw a mother bobcat and her two babies on the #2 tee box! Awesome day, we’ll be back⛳️

This is one of our favorite courses in the valley. Beautifully laid out with challenges galore! Beautiful raise tee boxes and incredible views. Highly recommend this course for a great day of golf. The course is very well maintained and great challenging greens! If you have never played here give it a try! :-)

A very interesting course with many diverse holes that are both challenging and very long. Several holes are well over 420 yards from the whites.
The driving range was free, but limited to irons and very old mats. The tee boxes were in very good condition, but after that there were several things that needed work. The fairways were cut very short, with many dead areas. The sand traps were inconsistent, either dry, dry with dirt close to the sand and a few had reasonably fair sand.
Lots of water on the course with very narrow fairways and on two of the holes, a driver and a three wood driven to the center of the fairway were never found. Probably rolled into the water, but I’m really not sure. The greens were weird. Fast at times, slow at times and even downhill looking putts were invariably slower than they looked. They were cut very short, so holding the greens with long irons was difficult. Lastly, the rough was cut short, but the next cut was four foot long shrub grass, so anything hit in there was lost. Pace of play on Friday was 4 1/2 hours , but since I played alone, and wasn’t able to be waved up, it seemed longer. Lastly, the wind was approximately 30 MPH, so this difficult long course was playing much more difficult than on a non windy day
A little more water and this course would be advised, even though it is way off the beaten path, about 9 miles inland from the 5 freeway through a mountain pass with lots of curves.

Would highly recommend this course to all you golfers out there

Love this place. Play here 8-12 times a year. Would play more but member at another course
Challenging but also has opportunities to score well
Lots of character. Geeens always great shape

Came out here before a friend's wedding to get in a round of golf. Very challenging course with a lot of unique hole layouts. Gets pretty hot out there in the summer, but still would recommend playing this course.

This course is off the beaten path, but it is only about an hour from the SF Bay area and well worth the trip. If you make the trip, you will find a challenging course, good pace of play, friendly staff, and a beautiful clubhouse.

I hadn't played the Ranch Course at Diablo Grande in probably 20+ years, when I was playing high school matches their. Fast forward to last Friday

PROS
- Pace of play. I teed off at 3:00 pm on Friday of Memorial Day weekend. I played through one twosome and didn't see anyone on the back nine. Even with taking my time and playing two balls on some holes, I played in 3 hours 30 minutes.
- Condition of course. The tee boxes, fairways and rough were very pure and lush.
-Layout. I had forgotten what a good layout this is. Aside from stupid #12, the course is memorable, challenging and offers playability and fun.

CONS
- Greens were the slowest (non-punched) greens I have ever played on. The greens were healthy and had a ton of grass on them, they just appeared to not have been mowed in a few days, Very bizarre and disappointing, as I was not able to truly experience the challenging greens.
- Too many homes. 95% of the homes were not here the last time I played here. I get the economics of having them, but its still a bummer to not be able to see the beautiful rolling hills in the distance.

Overall, a suitable value for $30 on a Friday afternoon at an empty course. Just need to get those greens cut!

Everything was very good except the greens today. I have played there 5 times and the greens were fast and smooth but today was really bad. Grainy and not mowed tight, ball is going straight but bouncing.

Love this course. Great challenge. Stay out of the savanna
With all due respect second only to the reserve at Spanos as best in the valley. But I play Spanos once a week so maybe biased
Great course. Recommend this place anytime

Ok so I admit the cookies in the Ranch Market at the course always put me in a great mood before a round, so I’m a little bias. But, the cookie bias aside I love this course. I think it’s a little over priced for the location, 50 bucks range for a weekend round would be killer, 35 during the week perfect. But usually you can get a good deal on apps like GolfNow. Regardless this course is always in great shape, beautiful scenery, and the food is really good. If this course was closer to Livermore it would be battling Poppy for business.
