Great value!!

This the first time I played Alta Sierra and I was really happy with the course. The fairways were in great shape and the greens were a little dry. Overall course layout was very nice and fun to play.

Walked

Alta Sierra

The value for the course was excellent. They don't seem to be fully back, so the amenities were lacking. The course was in good shape....except for around some of the greens. The greens were good, but right off the greens there was some crab grass that should not be there.

Watch out! They charge for carts now

They charge $15 for carts now. This means if you pay $30 here, plus service fee, and $15 for a cart, you are actually paying more than if you just walked up to the door. Watch out!

Great day at Auburn Valley

Play during COVID-19 where many courses closed. Auburn Valley was well maintained and fairways and greens were good.

Tthey organized sanitized avenues for check-in, drinks, restroom access. Could have been more descriptive on touch (NOT) the flag pole, etc. at check-in. Was posted in the cart if you noticed.

keep it in the fairway

tough but fair course, great layout, plenty of elevation changes, playing during covid-19 restrictions, staff had many procedures and restrictions in place, Brian the head pro was extremely busy, but he had a smile all day, was very helpful, looks like he is the glue holding everything together, i will definitely be back
