Deer Ridge
Deer Ridge Golf Club: GOLF COURSE PERMANENTLY CLOSED IN 2019, "due to financial conditions brought on by ever-increasing maintenance, operational cost and lower revenues".
[Original Where2Golf description]: Although shorter and slightly easier-going than its big brother on the opposite side of Balfour Rd (see Shadow Lakes), Deer Ridge also provides an enjoyable and challenging round of golf, with the best holes saved 'til last.
The layout comprises an expansive front-nine clockwise loop and an equally roaming, anti-clockwise back-nine. Both loops encircle and are flanked by plenty of housing, which is usually well out of harm's way, perched on ridges above the course.
On both nines, several holes follow the lines of various creeks and wetland areas that run through the property. Deer Creek dangerously threatens the middle section of the front-nine, bordering the par-4 5th and dangerously slicing through the par-4 6th and par-3 7th holes. The par-5 9th and par-4 11th are dissected by Dry Creek which will need to be crossed en route to the respective greens.
The most natural and scenic stretch comes at the end, starting out from the long, downhill par-3 15th. Another elevated tee-box greets you at the glorious par-5 16th. The ensuing closing trio are laid out in a more or less straight line along the bottom of Briones Valley. This very natural and undeveloped grassy canyon, is accompanied by a creek, ponds and wetlands as it makes it way smoothly and gently down into the flat and wide expanse of the San Joaquin river delta. A fabulous finish to an enjoyable, well-presented, pleasantly undulating, though not overly long course.
Course permanently closed in 2019.
Non-metal spike facility. Walking permitted. Golf carts available to rent.

Shadow Lakes Golf Club and, on the other side of Balfour Rd, Deer Ridge Golf Club were under common ownership. Both are laid out on the lower foothills of Mount Diablo, which rises to an elevation of 3,849 feet (1,173 m) 10 miles to the west. To the east of the golf courses, the San Joaquin River's delta region provides rich and abundant farmland.

The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with four wins out of her last four appearances on the LPGA Tour, a feat last achieved by Lorena Ochoa in 2008. Korda's win at the T-Mobile Match Play brought up her 12th LPGA Tour victory.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda’s three-in-three, when he placed second at the Houston Open. This followed back-to-back wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players. Like Korda, he remains comfortably ahead in the official world golf rankings.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
