Slow Play, No way to control it by the Marshall

It took 4:45 to play this somewhat short course. We had 2 groups that were together in front of us, young nice men. The problem is the 1st group would wait on the tee box to watch them finish the green. Then 8 of them would be on the next tee box, then the last 3 holes we had to play behind the total 8 some! The Marshall spoke to them but not until he saw them again on the 18th hole, to late! The Marshall tried his best to speed groups up but he said it was just busy, nothing he could do. The course is still not in good condition at best an ok public golf course. We love going there but....it won't be for a while after this terrible round of golf.

Beautiful

I didn’t know what to expect when I came to this course, but I heard it was very nice when I got there the staff was very friendly took me out on the deck showed me around, and I was very pleased at what I found out on the course, it was very well-maintained It was kind of difficult lots of up and downs, which is fun. Your club selection is important on this course and overall I enjoyed it very much and I am definitely going back.

Green frustration

The course for the most part was in great shape, unfortunately they recently punched their greens, so they were quite frustrating!!! GolfNow usually has a notification on the search page about courses punching greens!!?? Had I known about the greens I would’ve probably picked a different course!!

Fun course

Was a good time. They had a star war theme going which was fun to see. Only complaint was the bottle neck on hole 8. There was like 4 groups of golfers backed up which was wild.

Course in Repair. No Advance Notice.

Great layout. I will be back to play again. The greens were aerated last week and as a result the greens were all sand. This was not disclosed. I paid full price. I believe I should get a credit on my account.

First time

Overall enjoyed this course and will come back. I thought the greens were not bad but they do have some issues with some type of fungus. It happens and it only affected 3-4 holes significantly.

Fun, challenging golf course

Alta Sierra is challenging but fun. Variety of tee locations for every level. Elevation changes add to the challenge. Excellent experience for the money. Pace of play could be faster but a minor criticism.
