Our championship 18-hole course is an unforgettable journey at the base of iconic Mount Diablo. Across 6,761 yards, lush parkland slowly opens to rolling landscapes, offering challenges and rewards to every player. Classic links-style play inspired by the Scottish coast combines with Northern California’s natural beauty to create a bucket-list experience.
Designed by Golden Age visionaries Jack Neville and William Watson — the respective creators of Pebble Beach and Olympic Club — our pure golf course is an acknowledged masterpiece. Diablo golfers enjoy the design’s original challenges and modern innovations that enhance every round.

The grounds of Diablo Country Club, originally an 1874 country estate for railroad barons and gold mining icons, was converted in 1914 into a world-class golf and country club by founder Robert Noble Burgess. His vision — “A Community with an Ideal” — remains evident in the Club’s many structures and activities to this day.
From enjoying refreshments in our 1881 Carriage Lounge to hosting youth swim competitions since 1914, and from dining in our Red Horse Tavern, established in 1917, to golfing on our iconic course designed by legends Jack Neville and William Watson, Diablo Country Club continues its tradition of welcoming members and guests alike.
