Lone Tree Golf & Event Center has been a popular among Bay Area golfers since it opened its doors in 1934. The sloping topography, which lies at the foot of Mount Diablo State Park, affords amazing views of the surrounding Delta region. The course's layout combines ample landing zones that promote playability with fascinating green complexes that provide just the right amount of difficulty for players of all skill levels. The occasional errant tee shot may necessitate navigating mature Red Oaks, Cypress, Eucalyptus, and Ponderosa Pine trees that can be found in the rough portions of the course. Weddings & Events As a result of our magnificent event space, we can easily handle receptions of more than 300 guests without the difficulty of having some visitors sit outside on a patio, under a tent, or elsewhere. Every Lone Tree event takes advantage of the huge floor to ceiling windows in every space, which overlook the 18th green and provide breathtaking views of the beautiful golf course below, the rolling hills, and the neighboring lake. In addition, our Coastal Oak room is equipped with a large fireplace that provides both warmth and ambience for our guests. Menu Options Our team at Lone Tree Restaurant is constantly looking for reasons to celebrate, and we never pass up the opportunity to change our menus to accommodate a particular seasonal event.
