Great course

Course in excellent shape, wide open pace of play sometimes. Very challenging course not your typical flat course. Fairways and greens in very good shape.

No Flat Lies

Every hole on this course has plenty of sloped fairways making for plenty of challenges. There is also water to keep play interesting. The greens were fairly fast and with plenty of break.

Be aware there are three holes (other than the par 3's) you cannot take the cart onto the fairway. One hole is straight up hill. For some, this can be quite difficult.

The day we played the temperature got into the mid-90's. Drink plenty of water.

Deer Ridge GC is nearby to make 36 good holes.

Good mix of easy and challlenging holes

I typically play this course 5 - 8 times per year. The course is challenging, but fair. There are obvious locations where you are supposed to hit the ball and and trouble if you do not hit these areas. The course is in good condition, especially considering the 4-year drought. There may be too much watering in some locations. The bunkers could use a little work. Many were wet and compacted. Greens are in very good shape. Staff is very friendly, especially the weekend starter.

Good round with some great views

I decided to venture out about a 1/2 hour from home to play today. After a nice drive along the Delta I arrived at the course were I was met by two polite attentants in the pro shop. They set me up with my cart and a bucket. Good news, you hit off grass at the range. After I warmed up I headed over to the starter and met the threesome I was joining for the day. These guys play here often and offered plenty of course management suggestions through out the round (thanks Jay!!)

The starter was great. It was very crowded today and he kept it light and calm on the first tee and most importantly he kept the line moving.

The course is in great shape. The holes offered plenty of variety, challenges, and risk reward. Bottom-line; some holes you can just rip it and others require some finesse.

Over all it was a good day of golf that I got to share with a good threesome. Oh, and if you head to Shadow Lake in the morning hit up Willy's Bagels for breakfast, it's right next to the course.

Pace of play

I played yesterday with a friend of mine. The practice facility is good with grass tee boxes. We where delayed for our start time do to a tournament that was being played so slower play was to be expected. The young man told us that there was a delay but play should pick up once we tee off. Well it took us 3 hours to play 9 holes and just under 6 hours for 18. There where no marshals on the course at any time not even a the first tee. There was a group in front of us that had a young boy playing, hitting two or three balls at a time. This is definitely not a beginners course We had to call the club house twice to get someone out. It seem that the course was being run by teenage kids as there were no adults seen this on the course. There was no one in the club house after our round but there were two/ to 3 teenage kids in the parking lot with shadow lake attire on talking with friends. This course can be challenging with fast greens and wind but fair. your approach shots need to be hit to the right part of the greens or you will pay. It would be nice to sand in the SAND bunkers. good course that needs to be run a little more professionally. poor rating to staffing, pace of play

1st time playing

Greens: Excellent. Greens are receptive to iron shots. Nice green designs (some saddle greens, some double tier greens).
Greenside: Excellent. Tall grass greenside. Water greenside. Downsides are all the swan stuff and the sand in the bunkers are hard (but it is June so that is understandable).
Fairways: Excellent. Some fairway bunkers. Some water in play.
Tee boxes: Okay overall. Would be nice if they had fancier tee box markers but people might steal them. Right now they got these weird abnormal shaped rocks.

Staff: Excellent. Welcoming for our tournament.

Practice facility: Didn't see a chipping area. Small putting green. Range was good.

CHALLENGING COURSE

Course was in good shape
Greens were fast
Tee boxes, greens and fairways were kept up (some weeds).
Many holes offer elevated tee boxes
Plenty of water to go over or around
I would go back and play again
A lot of bunkers, (very little sand)

Shadow Lakes Last Game

Went to play a round with a few friends for one of their final weekend in California. He requested we play Shadow Lakes as his last course. We have played all over the state together and he loves this course. We had a great day, from the breakfast in the morning, to the final putt and a couple of adult beverages afterwards. The course is in pretty good condition and is a challenge in any tee location. I usually play from the Gold tees, but they wanted to play from Silver. I actually found it more challenging for me as I was familiar with the course from the Gold and found myself with a different look at each tee. It reminded me that you should play different tee locations at course you are familiar with, it will change your perspective and of the course...

Great deal

First time playing this course and was very impressed. Tee time was a single but paired with an single who was very informative of the course layout. The greens were rolling very nice and surprisingly quicker as the day went on. Can't wait to come back out and play

good day

I went out as a single on a Saturday morning. Everything was real good. I was paired up with some awesome people and the course was in great shape aside from a few fairways that had some dry spots and grassless areas. Greens r great, and tee boxes where perf!! Only down of the day was the group ahead of us. They where obviously poor golfers, who had a very low skill level. They where side to side and on ball hunts all morning. We ended up with a round just short of 6 hours. Having a Marshall or two to keep the pace up would b great. Aside from that, perfect day!

The Course is an excellent condition.

I only got to play 10 Holes because started to rain pretty hard . I will share with you that besides the people in front of us being slow! I had an excellent time playing with the group I was with. Iust not forget that when I was checking in the club did not had all my check in information, however when I showed my information to the person they took care of me without a problem.

Thank you

Miguel

Shadow Lakes Review

The course played well, steady pace for a Sunday,
about 4.5 hours.
Conditions were good for California drought, greens
were fast but readable.
We played as threesome, joining a single, and I
was overall quite happy with the conditions & the
pace.
