Expected better

Punched fairways, cart path only on 40% of course, overall the course was in fair to poor condition compared to other courses in area.

Fairway Fair Play

The fairways were in the process of being aerated and the greens where pretty bumpy. Clubs should definitely post thes conditions in advance.

Disappointing conditions for a "country club"

The weather was beautiful for our round, if not a little windy. Upon arriving at the course, my group admired the layout of the holes we could observe from the parking lot, specifically the breathtaking downhill approach to the 9th green. We were very excited to try this course for the first time after reading some glowing reviews here on GolfNow.

Once we got on the course, our opinion of Alta Sierra changed quickly. Fairways were extremely patchy; every approach was hit from bare clay in the fairway for the first 5 holes. Furthermore, the fairways were recently aerated, with no mention of this in the pro shop when we checked in. The greens were very patchy, with large inconsistencies in both grass length/density and green speeds. Putting became a guessing game from hole to hole; putts rolled with the same pace from the same distance would be 6 feet long on one hole and 6 feet short on the next.

Overall, very disappointed. Our local muni is better shape than Alta Sierra. Oh well. At least I had good company and good weather.

PS: Hot Dog at the turn was an F

Love this course!

Favorite course so far! Thank you for maintaining so well! We loved every hole, beautiful setting and pace of play. My only area of improvement would be keep the restaurant/bar open after 4 PM. We would have love to sit on your lovely deck with a beverage after playing.

Great Pine tree lined course

This course is fantastic! It turns and winds through the pines. Some great holes with elevation changes and some great, challenging, yet reachable par 5s. Course is well maintained and the greens were immaculate for this time of year. I would go back again!!

Price made it worth it

Course is pretty. Lots of wildlife, but with that comes lots of goose poop. Greens a little fast. Fun morning.
