About Discovery Bay Golf Course

Fall colors on number 8 green

Local rules:

Roads along #6 and #9 are out of bounds. On the back the forested edges are played as a lateral hazard

Course Rating

Effective 5-30-11 Discovery Bay Golf Club course ratings are in effect. The new ratings reflect the changes done in 2005 and 2006. The most significant effect is the changing of the #1 handicap from hole #5 to hole #4 (which is now a par 4) and n big suprise to most folks who play the course #17 is now the #2 handicap

Front Nine

The front nine (referred to as the farm nine) is the original 9 holes of Chevy Chase. Carved out of a farm pasture the "farm nine" opened on May 9, 1925.

If it's been awhile since you've played here we have made some changes to the front 9. Recent changes to the front includes lengthening #1 with a new green (open spring 2008). New tee boxes on number 4 (open fall 2007) which now plays as a par 5 . And new green's on number 6 and 8 (open 2003). 2010 we opened our new number 2.

Front Nine (whites):
3049 yards

#1: 372 yards par 4
#2: 288 yards par 4
#3: 158 yards par 3
#4: 412 yards par 4
#5: 515 yards par 5
#6: 359 yards par 4
#7: 466 yards par 5
#8: 165 yards par 3
#9: 260 yards par 4

Back Nine

Looking towards the number 18 green

The back nine (referred to as the forest nine) built out of the heavily forested hill above the front nine . The back nine opened on May 9, 1997, 72 years after the front nine. The design of the back nine was done by Michael Asmundson.

Again if it has been some time since you played Discovery Bay Golf club, changes await you on the back nine. New tee boxes on #11 (open spring 2008) not only lengthens the hole but adds a whole new feel by creating a dog leg right. Projects under way for the back is a complete new number eleven.
