With $25.00 green fees the course is being distroyed due to the amount of play it is getting and the calibar of players the $25.00 fee is attracting in many cases. The course has a dress code that is not being enforced largely because of the anything goes policy when your greens fee are only $25.00.

Shadow Lakes is a outstanding golf course and a great value. The course is a test from any of the tees but has multiple tee locations for every skill level. The view of Mt. Diablo and the east bay hills are great. The playing conditions are very good and greatly improved from what they were 6 to 8 months ago. The staff is extremely friendly and do everything they can to take care of the players. The greens are in good shape and they will test your putting skills every time you play the course. The fairways are in outstanding shape, but the bunkers are in poor condition and need alot of work to meet the quality of play the golf course offers. The bar and restaurant is a great place to have lunch after the round of golf. The bartender are very nice (and cute too). Management needs to do more to control the kids that are allowed in the bar area when the local school is dismissed for the day. I highly recommend Shadow Lakes golf course for a great overall experience on a challenging golf course.
