How is the course?:
The course opened in 1996. This facility has two eighteen hole public courses, The Ranch Course is nestled in a valley of rolling foothills, and incorporates dramatic elevation changes and natural contours of the setting. Stands of Valley and Blue Oak trees decorate the layout, and vineyards and canyons can be seen in the distance. The course is very well bunkered, and the greens are straightforward. Water comes into play on five holes during the summer months and thirteen during the winter, when a dry creek fills and runs through the layout. The signature hole is #12, a 649-yard, par 5, requiring three long, precise shots over a dogleg left fairway, two creeks and past 400-year-old oaks to reach the well-bunkered green. The Legends West Course is a tribute to the classic courses and an elegant lifestyle of an era gone by. This course is surrounded on all sides by rolling hillsides and undulating vineyards. Carved by creeks and canyons, this tree-lined course is spectacular. Once there, you will be rewarded with a spectacular view up the valley to Mikes Peak, the highest point at Diablo Grande.

What is the course like?:
The course was built in 1994. This facility expanded to twenty-seven holes in 1998, giving it three nine hole courses that are played in three eighteen hole combinations. The new nine hole South Course is wide open like the original eighteen holes, however, this course criss-crosses through a valley. There is a smattering of trees throughout the layout. The greens are medium-sized with mild undulation. The original eighteen holes consist of the West and North courses. This is a somewhat open course because the trees are young. However, shot accuracy is still important because there is a defined cut of rough bordering all the fairways. The course was built on hilly terrain and features many scenic views of the Green and Adirondack Mountain Ranges. Tee times are only reserved for the weekends and holidays. If you choose to play nine holes, you may only do so after 5 PM. Raymond Ayer designed the course. The course includes waterhazards. And has 31-40 sandbunkers.
