Creekside/Hillside at The Golf Club at Brentwood

The Golf Club at Brentwood features two eighteen-hole layouts designed by Ted Robinson Sr., a California architect known for incorporating water features and strategic bunkering into his designs. The facility sits in the East Bay region of the San Francisco Bay Area, where rolling terrain and oak-studded landscapes characterize much of the golf architecture. Robinson's work here reflects his preference for creating distinct visual definition and shot values through the use of lakes, streams, and sculpted hazards.

The Creekside and Hillside courses take advantage of the property's natural elevation changes and existing drainage corridors. As their names suggest, the two layouts offer different playing experiences—one routing likely follows lower ground with more pronounced water elements, while the other navigates higher terrain with greater topographical movement. Robinson typically designed courses that reward accuracy over distance, with greens protected by water hazards and bunkers positioned to penalize wayward approaches.

The club operates as a private facility serving the Brentwood community, an area that has seen residential growth in recent decades. The courses provide members with variety across thirty-six holes, allowing for different strategic challenges depending on which layout they choose. Robinson's design approach emphasizes playability for a range of skill levels while maintaining enough difficulty to test accomplished players, a balance typical of his portfolio throughout Northern California.
