Roddy Ranch Golf Course, Antioch, CA

Roddy Ranch Golf Course, Antioch, CARoddy Ranch Golf Course is Located in: Antioch, CA

Phone: 925.978.4653

Website: http://www.roddyranch.com

Course History:

This course is part of the historic 2000 acre Roddy Ranch in Antioch, CA. This is a relatively new course that opened to tremendous accolades. It's already been named one of the best value courses in the bay area and with good reason. If you're looking for a challenging game of golf that won't break the bank, look no further. This course is a little off the beaten path, so we included some directions for you below.

What You Need to Know:

Don't let the prices fool you, this is a very nice course. Everything is top notch and its on the same level as many private clubs when it comes to amenities. You can register your tee time online or by phone. Their website also has a feature to let you pick your time and a special discount, so we recommend visiting before you book.

Lessons are offered every day of the week from the PGA pros on staff. These are also priced very reasonably and there is a special tee that is devoted entirely to practice. Numerous tournaments are held at the course every year and this is a great way to get a feel for the course before you actually head out.

Although the course does not specify a special dress code, we recommend traditional golf attire and soft spikes.

Playing Hints:

The holes are pretty straightforward at first glance, but look a little closer and you'll see the combination of heavily sloped greens, nasty rough, and sandtraps make for some challenging play. By far, the two hardest holes are the sixteenth hole with its blind green (approach from the right to avoid the bunkers) and the thirteenth hole that also features a blind green surrounded by bunkers. You'll be playing into the wind on this hole for an even bigger challenge.

The last two holes will give you a chance to salvage your score, especially the par 5 on 18. Just watch out for the remaining bunkers and you should do just fine.

Standard Weekday $45.00

Weekday Twilight $35.00

Weekday Super Twilight $25.00

Standard Weekend $70.00

Weekend Mid-day $55.00

The cart fee is per golfer for a shared cart.  Single cart renters will be matched on the first tee when appropriate.

For safety concerns we only allow non-golfers (including caddies) on the course if they are in a golf cart.

To keep our cart fleet in excellent condition and keep our customers safe we only rent carts to persons 18 years and older with a valid driver's license.

So that groups can maintain a proper pace of play, we ask that each golfer have their own set of clubs.

To keep the cost of providing range balls we ask that baskets and range ball not be removed from the driving range and practice area.

We welcome fivesomes that are able to complete their rounds in four and a half hours or less.  Any group having difficulty maintaining proper pace may be asked to advance to the proper position or allow faster groups to play through.

To provide an enjoyable experience to the majority of our customers we ask that Men wear shirts with sleeves and ladies wear golf appropriate attire.
