Originally opening as a nine hole course, Lone Tree was built on open hillsides adjacent to Mount Diablo State Park and was defined by the grassy hills the course was set upon. Nine more holes were constructed in the early 1950's and through the years various trees were added which gave the course the definition it now knows. In 1990 the decision was made to redo the majority of green complexes to sand based greens, and the task was successfully undertaken. The current greens on holes #12 and 15 are not only from the original construction, but are the two smallest greens on the course requiring golfers to have sharp accuracy. A little known history tidbit... Back in the early days of Lone Tree there was a superb golfer by the name of Elmer Clites. The Antioch City Championship is named after Elmer and this tournament is a Northern California Golf Association Point event. Top amateurs come to play in this event each year from Monterey, Southern California, Sacramento and throughout the Bay Area. Local lore has it that Elmer would play with one of the greatest professional golfers of the era, Ben Hogan, when he was in Northern California. A testimony to Elmer's skill as a player comes from the comment that Mr. Hogan frequently made; "If I had Elmer's wedge and short game I would have certainly won several more majors". Did you know? USGA Mid-Amateur Champion Terry Foreman practices and plays at Lone Tree and holds the competitive course record of 62. Diablo Creek, Boundary Oak, and Hiddenbrook, are in the same First Tee of Contra Costa chapter as Lone Tree and program Coaches can often be seen at various facilities.
