A course to come and play

Alta Sierra is a excellent golf course. Not to easy, not to hard. I'm just beginning, but I enjoy the challenge of each hole. I join others who have come from Reno to Lincoln to Roseville and they also have said they enjoyed this course.

Ups and Downs

Really a nice course. Don't let the yardage fool you, it plays considerably longer from the tips. The greens are very tricky so look your putts over from all angles.

Great first impression!

First time playing the course and I will definitely be back! Greens and fairway were in great shape. Nice carts. Finished a full round with a 2pm tee time in less than 4 hours when paired up as a foursome. Beautiful course overall and a great value too!

great layout

Course was in great shape both the greens and the fairways. Nice escape from the valley heat.pace of play was perfect we never ran into another group. Friendly staff gave us ice for our personal cooler. Drinks in the bar were good though the hot dogs from the snack shack were cold . Will definitely return to Alta Sierra.

Mountain golf at its finest. . .

The course is scenic, well maintained and nicely laid out among the abundant pines -- and homes -- of Alta Sierra, elevation 2,000 feet. The greens are even but on the slow side. It is a startlingly beautiful layout.

Nice

Course is in great shape. Not your snooty tooth country club. Everyone was friendly from staff to members. They had a tournament in the afternoon so they had an early shotgun for everyone wanting to play beforehand. Everything went smooth and we enjoyed a nice 4 hour round. Would definitely play again.

Nice Track

Course was in good shape - greens were not fast but fair - subtle breaks. If you are short left on greens (except #11), you will have uphill putt.

Great Day at Alta Sierra Country Club

We split a bucket of balls before we tee's off. Went off as a twosome,the condition and weather we're good 73 degrees!
I liked the course layout it is right out in front of you. Playing a second time I would have taken advantage of some of the back stops and approaches would have been slightly different . I thought it to be very fair and challenging .Greens were in great shape, True and I would guess they were rolling in the 10+ neighborhood

Alta Sierra CC

This course was in great condition. The staff was very helpful and we were playing on time with no delays. The course is challenging and you do have to hit it straight. Great time had by all. Only draw back was the grill was closed when we finished our round.
