Nor Ready for Prime Time

Disappointing round of golf at Alta Sierra Golf Course. The greens had been freshly sanded, so short game strategies were useless. Every green was an “automatic two putt.” The tees were sanded as weak. The fairway was mowed high and balls were not always seen. The rough was impossible. We did not finish the round. Why bother?

On a positive note, the food in the bar was excellent and the staff very friendly and attentive.

The management needed to infirm the players if the course conditions ahead of time. GolfNow dropped the ball and wasted my money.

Oil slicks

The pace of play was fine, the course must have just been plugged. Greens had oil slicks on all holes from the machines. I’ve always liked the course, but I feel as if the money is not necessarily going back into it.

Hope for a better round

The course is in better condition and the greens are fast wich is good but they need to work on the drainning system a little better and please post on the golf apps if is cart paths only or 90 degree rule because sometimes is not wet and is cart path only just be honest on that but over all is good.

Challenging course in the rolling hills

Fun and challenging. No two holes are the same.

Course was on good shape for being early in the season. The 2nd hole is a bear, 430 yards uphill to a well protected green.

Nice driving range. Nic in the shop is great and gave a few tips. Go play this course!

Trying to be something you are not.

This course has a nice layout. The design is well thought out and a challenge.

By no standards is it a champion course or.even trying to be.

The grounds crew make it good for golf.

Go play it, say what you think, and put your opion in the box.

Tired and slow

Was probably a beautiful course once upon a time. But now it's pretty shoddy, all the tea boxes were destroyed. The fairways had lots of bare spots. Pace of play was glacial.

Amazing Greens!

Ok, I've played here many times. I have never experienced greens like they were today. Fast, smooth just beautiful! Keep it up greens keeper and your employees! They are working on several tee boxes but left an area on each to tee off. They are working on areas on the course but no problem to play. Going back next week can't wait to play again. Lucky us to have a beautiful course and setting in the pine trees.

Good course, needs maintenance

This is a beautiful course but the greens are mottled with bald spots and the fairways are peppered with rodent holes and mounds. I've played golf here since the 1990s, love it but needs better maintenance.
