Nice terrain but course not in great shape.

I like mountain courses but Alta Sierra is not one of my favorites. The fairways were patchy and many times not great lies. If greens fees were $25-30 it would be worth it, but not at regular rates. Won’t be playing there again.

Perfect layout but needs a little improvement to make it a championship course.

One of the best design courses I have played. Remind me those mountain courses in Georgia and Carolinas. They need to work on the maintenance of the fairways and some greens where there were some potholes and damaged greens. Scenery was beautiful with some deers and ducks. The ponds are positioned strategically to be connected with multiple holes. The pace was great even following the ladies tournament groups. Completed just inside of 4 hours for 3 of us. We will return here before the weather starts getting cold. Thanks GolfNow for your including this great course on your list.

Alta Sierra golf Outting

Made on line booking for tee times everything went very well, the staff at Alta Sierra was very friendly and accommodating. The Course was in very good condition, the weather was perfect and the seven other golfers I made the tee time for were pleasantly surprised the golfing experience and conditions of play was more the they had expected. They were all thrilled, and said they will most definitely come back to play here.. I also am looking forward to returning to Alta Sierra for another round of great golf. The course is challenging But playable for all players all abilities can be challenged.

Put on play list...

Always love playing Alta...Best conditions are in the spring & early summer. Would have been nice to know that we were driving an hour to play punched & sanded greens. Didn't let it ruin our day and as my friend stated...if you play every week, it's going to happen twice a year.
