Bad Things are Coming

The course was in OK condition when I played it but in a month or two it looks like it will be terrible. The amount of play this course gets will beat up the fairways and it will look like the sahara come the end of summer. This course needs water but we are still in a drought. Have fun playing off the dirt.

Could be great

This is a fun course, that has some fast greens, some slow, 8 feet wide tee boxes, and some sadistic pin placements.

First Time Playing

6 hour rounds

If you like 6 hour rounds and tee times that start 45 minutes after the time that you booked. As well as carts that won't make it through the whole course and sand traps that are rock hard and don't require raking then I highly recommend this course. If you prefer a normal golf experience then this place isn't for you. I wouldn't play it again for free!!

Great value for a nice course

Reserved tee time using one of online booking and got a terrific deal. Played around noon on a weekday. Tee boxes were a bit used up from earlier play, but they were still in good condition. Fairways are in good shape although a few areas were too wet, probably from earlier rainfall. Greens are in good shape but with many ball marks left by previous players. As expected, grass was a bit long due to growth from last mowing. But overall, course is a pleasure to play! Kudos to the staff.

Key Part of Antioch/Brentwood golf Mecca

Shadow Lakes offers fun holes, made more difficult during blustery days. Clubhouse staff nice. Casual 19th hole setting. Has full driving range, unlike Deer Ridge. Lots of geese and their gifts. Get a deal to get great value.

Good course, great value, slooooow play

I like this course. It takes me 1.5 hours to drive here. But I still like it because of its great value and contra-traffic for me. I've experienced slow play couple times, but not that slow last time I played. It was more than 5.5 hours. I guess there are a lot high handicappers play here because of its cheap price. I am not against slow players, they need a place to play anyway. But if you are serious about your game, the playing path will kill your game. Tip to play well at this course: take a Yoga meditation class before you play here.

No cold water for players on golf course

The temperature is about 98 - 100 on the course in the afternoon.

All the water coolers on the course were empty. The drink golf cart came by once on hole # 2, and we did not see her again all day. It was very hot here, and we couldn't get cold water.

I'll not play here again unless I bring my owe cooler with cold water.

Long Hilly course not to be passed up!

The greens with subtle slopes and undulating elevations were equally as challenging as the course layout itself. It requires all your experience for your shot making technique with severe uphill lies and down hill.lies. Who needs a links course when you can get all the challenge with fine country course?
Not all was ok however: Not enough sand in bunkers. There was an abundance of duck residue on a back nine water holes made the fairways unplayable in many spots. Occasionally there was inconsistent speed from the greens.
The staff were super at the bar and the fellows managing the golf carts. It would have been nice if the pro shop was staffed by experienced golfers.Not to worry.
Do yourself a favor make the trip and not pass up this great golf course.

Outstanding staff, and overall great facility

This course was in great shape in these drought conditions. The greens were in great shape really green and not dryed out. They rolled a little bumpy but not all greens. The fairways looked amazing for the limited watering I am sure they are allowed. The roughs were even nice and full and green. Tee boxes could use some attention from the staff and care from golfers, had quite a few unrepaired divots. My one major complaint is they badly need to add sand to their dirt bunkers, this was so horrible when you do end up in the bunker you at least want a decent amount of sand to properly hit a shot from. These did not even have a hint of sand all bare hard packed dirt, fairway and green side bunkers.
The staff was exceptional from the clubhouse check in to the bar tender and course Marshall. All happy to greet you and help make your round better any way they could. It was a warm afternoon and the bar tender made killer Arnold Palmer drinks.
