Sierra Lakes Golf Club

Sierra Lakes is one of the few courses that I can play where every lie I have is a good lie. The course is always in great shape and unlike other courses in the IE you will never have one of those dirt patch fairway lies, or the patch work green that has your ball bouncing all over the place. When I play Sierra Lakes I’m always smiling and you will be too.

I am often going to visit sierra lake golf course .

Super fun course that is in great shape, played a couple weeks back when greens were punched (No heads up on that by the way) It’d be nice if Golfnow would put some sort of a notification about punched greens, that being said, played last week and greens filled back in to near perfection. Greens rolled somewhere around a 9 and rolled true. Fairways and tee boxes in great shape as well. Only complaint would be slow pace from time to time because no one is out there to Marshall the course and keep things moving. Wish more players would show the etiquette of fixing ball marks and raking bunkers but I guess you can expect that at public courses. Setting a time to play again this week because all and all it’s the best bang for your buck and conditions are great right now. Top 5 course in the IE for sure.

It had been years since I played here last. Having played a couple other courses in the area recently, I was impressed with the condition of the fairways and greens. There were 2 tournaments ahead of us so play was VERY slow for a Monday. I ordered a breakfast burrito before my round. While it was really good, I think it got me sick as I had to leave the 17th tee in a mad dash to the clubhouse for the bathroom! Overall, I was glad I came back here and will again soon… although I probably won’t get another burrito.

It took 6 hours to finish the game, cart lady showed up once only.

6 hours round from Saturday afternoon. Five some in front of us driven golf cart across the green par 3 hole#4. We called Marshal but results it the same. 2 players was left from my group earlier from hole#7.

We teed off at 1 pm on a Saturday afternoon. 2 hours later we were in line behind two other groups still waiting to tee off on #7. I tried to call the pro shop but never got a real person to answer the phone. The wait was long enough that I was able to walk back to the pro shop to tell them about the situation and still be back at the tee in time for my shot. It took us another hour to play holes 7-9 for a 3 hour front nine. I had commitments in the evening that necessitated stopping after 9 holes. My schedule could have handled a 5 hour round (although that's still too long), but not a 5.5-6 hr round.

The staff in the pro shop offered a rain check, but since I live 500 miles from here and don't come to Southern California often, this was not an acceptable remedy. I was told that there were no other options and that if I didn't take a rain check, there was nothing they could do. There seemed to be little interest on the staff's part in turning a guest's negative experience into a positive one.

The course itself, at least what we were able to play, was fun and in reasonably good condition. I would come here to play again except for the unacceptably slow pace of play, the lack of efforts to speed up that slow pace, and the inability of the staff to provide an acceptable remedy to having to quit a round because of that slow pace. There are a lot of golf courses in the LA area. I will be choosing a different one next time I'm here.
