Alta Sierra Country Club

Enjoyed the course; it was challenging but fun. However, the slow condition of the greens was disappointing and took the fun out of the round.

The course was in excellent condition - tees, fairways, and greens were great. Rough was a little high on the back nine, but I guess we should be in the fairway!

The staff, both on check-in and on the course, were excellent. There were marshalls on the course, but they weren't needed, as the pace of play was normal.

This was my first time playing Alta Sierra and what a treat it was! Beautiful setting, beautiful and challenging course, excellent course conditions, and very cordial staff from the Clubhouse to the Marshall. If you've never been to Alta Sierra, go...if you've been thete before, go again!

Playing from the white tees I found this course difficult. It played long to me. and being in the hills made for some sidehill lies.

The course was almost in the mountains or hills, very nice. I certainly would play there again. the price was fair.

We were lucky to play before the routine maintenance 4/15-4/16. Felt like we were the only ones on the course. We decided to walk due to cart path only. Although there were lots of elevation gains and drops. The walk wasn’t that bad. The course offered a lot of variety: creative bunker placement, undulating greens, and your occasional hidden creeks. Play your yardages correctly and you’ll be rewarded. Would play here again without hesitation.

Alta Sierra is always in great condition!! The fairways were a little fuzzy this round, but will always be a great day on the course!!!

The service in the bar is always pretty slow, especially when making the turn!!! They’re really under staffed, the bartender/waitress has to handle everything from serving restaurant customers and golfer making the turn!!!

Hadn’t played this course in over 5 years. Was a nice day so wanted to play a round. With all the rain wasn’t sure what condition the course would be in, was pleasantly surprised. The greens were in great shape, bunkers had water in some but most were in good condition. There were wet areas in some of the fairways but there had been a lot rain. The majority of the fairways were in pretty good shape. I will be back.

I give 3 stars due to the fairway conditions & no food / beverage in the morning (off-course amenities) both of which equates to the “value for the money” selection. Honestly, maybe 1/2 to 25% less greens fee would have been applicable. I understand the rain we've had this winter, but I want to return sometime this summer to see if conditions change. Maybe the greens fee would fit then. Most of the fairways are not just extremely bumpy (soil conditions for the area?), but a lot of grass clumps everywhere. Other fairways were shaggy & apparently not cut when the opportunity arises (in between the rain?). There were only a few really bad soggy spots I noticed though. Using the cart, I was trying to stay on the path to avoid bouncing all day in the fairways, but a lot of paths are cracking like tree stumps are pushing up, so I still bounced (!). I just took it easy. The conditions allowed a lift & clean, but the clumps require moving the ball anyway or most of the time you're going to chop at the ball. The greens were well taken care of for the conditions though. Very consistent. The bunkers weren’t too bad considering the weather & most had enough sand but rain filled some too. Greenskeeper staff were out & friendly during my play. That's cool. I admire what they can do with what they have available under these conditions. The snack bar / restaurant wasn't open until I made my turn & got a cold sandwich (forgot her name but she was wonderful). I expected to grab a granola or something early from the pro shop to start my round but they do not have anything in there. Nice shop, but no snacks. Eric was there & he was very courteous & professional to me. I like the layout. Enjoyed the elevation changes. Again, I want to see how different the course plays in the summer. Not sure this is actually a Country Club anymore though. This is a lot, but hope it helps.
