Lovely and Difficult

Been getting out to other courses so we don't get stuck in a rut of playing the same 3 courses all the time. Alta Sierra was a breath of fresh air. We were the first pair of the morning, so the pace of play was up to us. There was one pair (probably regulars) who went around us on the 3rd hole, and they stayed well ahead of us. Never had anyone else behind us, so it was stress free. Grounds are well kept and the greens were slow with the morning dew but sped up as the day progressed. Some greens are hard to gauge the slope, but none of them have impossible slope. Not an easy course by any stretch, but I played one of my better rounds there. The hills make yardage tricky to figure out, but also make this course what it is. There are some houses near some of the fairways, but not so close that you have to worry about hitting them unless you really shank it.

We arrived about 15 minutes early, but the pro shop didn't open until 3 minutes before our round. No snacks and only bottles of water available, so my friend was glad I had a backup protein bar in my bag. The young man at the counter could have also benefited from some customer service training, but he was kind "enough".

Our cart was in great condition and had plenty of power to handle all the hills. Probably one of the better carts I've had vs other courses.

11 is a dogleg right that is sharper than appears. Lost a ball on that one that I thought for sure was center fairway. 18 is hard to see the green on approach, and it is much further right than it would seem if you can't see it.

Plenty of geese, squirrels, and we even had a group of deer join us on a hole.

Pace of play

The layout of this course is great, and it’s close to home for me. However, pace of play is always an issue. There are marshals out there but don’t really seem to say much. My recommendation is going very early or late evening.

Nice course, nice environment, nice staff but slow greens

Everything went smoothly, nice place, difficult holes, only draw back was slow greens, perhaps it was just an off day? Plan on returning again.

Nice course just in rough shape

With all the rain we had should have been in better shape. The fairways had a lot of dirt and the greens had lots of brown rough spots.

Great course

We tee’d off at 6:27 on a Saturday for $61. It’s almost an hour from home, but definitely worth the drive. Overall, it’s quiet, great greens and great price.
