renovation
is an understatement
the story
first begins...

…when our private sanctuary debuts near the turn of a previous century. In the early 1900s Diablo’s vision is big, and soon beloved for preserving a small-town ideal. The structures – grand East Coast-style reminders of 19th ranchland and racetrack – are beacons of a great escape for the greater Bay Area. The course, designed by future legends, plays in a league of its own with a backdrop like none other.

In a renovation for the ages, history repeats itself now. Our signature elements and unique distinctions have been updated and improved as part of a comprehensive, multiyear $41 million Master Plan to enrich this celebrated experience for future generations. A hundred years young and counting, The Diablo Difference has renewed itself in three recent phases.

PHASE 1 : COMPLETED
the course

A familiar stage for the next golden age. On the heels of an award-winning renovation, from the 1st tee to the iconic fairway oak on 18, Diablo’s weaving route has never played more seamless, sustainable, and dramatic. Reshaped, laser-leveled tees give way to widened fairways that invite varied approach strategies. New short-cut chipping areas unlock short game techniques, while greens resized to opening day let players trace the lines of legends. Completely rebuilt bunkers make for great escapes, while native tree plantings invite a deeper immersion into the landscape. Our efforts led to a national “2021 Renovation Of The Year” award by Golf Inc. The DCC golf course has since been ranked #18 in the “Best Courses In California” list and one of the “50 Best In The West” by GOLF Magazine based on our restoration.

PHASE 2: COMPLETED 2024

Reimagined refinement & new culinary amenities. Our Georgian-inspired Clubhouse boasts inventive internal updates that compliment the always-breathtaking exterior. Upgraded and remodeled spaces create warmer environments through this historic building. The centerpiece is a revitalized Red Horse venue, the Club’s main social hub, now partnered with the new Mt. Diablo Pub. An expanded central kitchen adds productivity and fresh energy to delicious culinary experiences. One floor below, a dedicated Fitness Center, new workout rooms, and a renovated Ladies’ Locker Room put wellness and health front and center. A relocated and expanded Pro Shop tees up more products and selections, and an Indoor Hitting Simulator is ready for all-weather play.
