Shadow Lakes Golf Course Description:

With Mount Diablo providing a stunning backdrop, Shadow Lakes Golf Club offers panoramic views of the East Bay Area, from the Diablo Range in the west to the San Joaquin Valley in the east. Designed in the classic architectural style of Gary Roger Baird, Shadow Lakes is pure Brentwood golf with a bold design combining traditional course features with the contemporary. The golf course showcases dramatic elevation change, native grasses that outline each hole, natural boulder outcroppings, and sharply sculpted bunkers. The links-style characteristics from four separate sets of tees make for a challenging yet rewarding round of golf time after time no matter your level of skill; so everyone will have a great outing on the course. Coupled with immaculate course conditions and our efforts to deliver an upscale service experience, Shadow Lakes and its staff will provide the finishing touches for an unforgettable and unique experience.

Come join us on Friday August 28th for a great round of Golf at Poppy Hills Golf Club in Pebble Beach.

$280 for a foursome before 8 or after 2:30 (green fee, cart, range balls, and logo hat included). ($75 per person).

Poppy Hills is a challenging golf course that weaves through the Del Monte Forest. The venue plays host to many prominent tournaments including the PGA Tour’s AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, in early February.

A 2007 Zagat Survey ranked Poppy Hills the 12th “Most Popular Course” in the U.S, and the layout was named “National Course of the Year” in 2006 by the National Golf Course Owners Association.

The Robert Trent Jones Jr. design opened in 1986 and is the home course for the NCGA. It was the first course in the United States to be owned and operated by an amateur golf association. The NCGA continued to grow with the addition of a second course, Poppy Ridge in Livermore in 1996.

The course welcomes public play and it is recommended for visitors to join the NCGA to receive nearly a 75% discount off the $200 public green fee. The par-72 layout measures 6,857 yards from the black tees with a slope rating of 74.3/144. Matt Gogel holds the course record of 62. There are four teeing areas on each hole, making Poppy Hills enjoyable for all levels of play.

Poppy Hills also includes a picturesque grass driving range, practice putting, chipping, bunker facilities and a swing video analysis system. The golf shop was named as one of the “Top 100 Golf Shops” in 2006 by Golf World Business magazine. The course also offers a idyllic setting for a wedding in Pebble Beach.

Poppy Hills golf course is a must play when visiting Pebble Beach and the Monterey Peninsula.

Come join us on Saturday June 27th for a great day of Golf at the Rancho Solano Golf Course in Fairfield.

Lee Ann has graciously agreed to host a small BBQ gathering at her home in Fairfield following the round. So please include in your RSVP if you will stay for the BBQ and if you will bring a dish for the others to share.

Greens Fee $56 Walk $72 Ride

Designed by Gary Roger Baird, Rancho Solano celebrated its Opening Day in March 1990. It is nestled in the hills of Fairfield and offers well-manicured fairways, large, tiered greens and challenging holes for every level of golfer.

Water is a factor on holes 2, 3, 4, and 5 on the front nine and holes 11, 12 and 14 on the back nine. Despite being an open course, club selection is important, especially on the challenging par 3’s. Rancho Solano is known for having some of the largest greens on Northern California courses.

Two of the most challenging holes are on the back nine. Hole 11 is a par 4, but club selection is important because a long drive could end up in the lake. A carefully placed second shot onto the green, which hugs the water’s edge, is not as easy as it looks. Sand traps exist on the backside of the green should a golfer decide to extend the margin of safety. The large green adds to the challenge of scoring a par.

Hole 12 is a picturesque par 3. Another small lake guards the front of the green and sand traps protect the back of the green. All tee boxes require the golfer to hit over the lake; there is no room to bail out on the right and very little room to consider a shot to the left. Getting on in one is satisfying; scoring par remains a challenge because of another trademark ‘large, two-tiered’ green.

Finishing your round with a birdie on the 18th hole is possible if you maneuver beyond the undulating fairway. This hole's green provides one last challenge on Rancho Solano's golf course.

My husbands golf club is playing the Presido in San Francisco, checking to see if anyone is interested...Please only RSVP YES if you are going to mail in payment...We have to pay the golf course in advance...Please email me and let me know if you would like for this to be a tournament for just a round of golf....

Hi gang, Good news! We have an opportunity to play the Presidio Golf Course at a special discounted rate. We have 4 tee times booked starting at 11:00 a.m. on Sunday May 17. It's normally $99, but I was able to get a discounted rate of $80 including cart and range balls.

I have a request and a question for you.

We need to pay in advance so I need to get a firm count ASAP. Please let me know one way or another if you're interested. I'm going to give the course a firm count by the end of next week.

Also, the course normally tacks on a $5 gift certificate, and we add $10 to cover prize funds. That would raise the entry fee to $95. I realize times are tough out there, so one option would be to skip the prizes for this tournament. We'd still count the results for the end of season results, but there would be no prize money. So let me know which option you'd prefer:

A: $80 with no prize money
B: $95 with prize money, closest to the pin, and long drive contest.

thanks,

Tom

Course Layout

Designed with tight fairways and strategically placed bunkers, this 18-hole "hilly" golf course offers a unique challenge for golfers of all abilities. Orginally designed by Robert Wood Johnstone, the course was expanded in 1910 by Johnstone in collaboration with Wiliam McEwan and redesigned and lengthened in by the British firm of Fowler & Simpson in 1921
