Tel: (925) 516-3400  

Designed by Ted Robinson. This 36-hole golf course features three championship nine-hole courses with wide fairways, several water holes, some blind shots, and large, sloping greens. On a few holes, housing and large power lines do come into play. There is also a 1,452-yard, nine-hole executive course that has water on six of the holes. Yardage shown is for the Creekside/Hillside combination. You can sometimes find discount coupons on their website. From San Francisco (about 55 miles east to the course): Take I-80 east to I-580 east to Livermore. Take the Vasco Road North exit and head north about 20 miles to Brentwood. Turn left on Balfour Road and follow to Summerset Drive. Turn left on Summerset Drive to the clubhouse. You actually play under power lines for a few holes. That's not the problem. What you need to be aware of are the holes with blind drives over a hill. There are lakes sitting on the other side. You think you toasted one in the fairway and the next thing you know, you're hitting three.
