La Contenta Golf Club

lot of beginers looking for ball.four and a half hours to play.

If you play for the first time, better to play with someone who play there before some blind shots in couple holes that can affect score, the pace of play on weekends can be really poor 5.5 hours ,it is a nice course that requires accurate shots

Course beautifully maintained, challenging but fair, love playing there.

The course layout was a little strange. For example on the first hole all three players in the group I was in played our second shots towards what we thought was the first green, it wasn't. It was the green for the second hole. This is a must ride course as there are many variations in elevation. The greens were in need of some repair as it seemed almost every one had patches of turf missing.

Staff was very friendly. I was supposed to play with a threesome, but they had four people. They let me play with them. Really nice group of guys. We waited on most of the holes, play was slow. I stopped playing after nine holes.

La Contenta is one of my favorite courses in the Gold Country

Each time I play this course I love it more. Great location, makes me want to buy a house on the golf course. Staff is great and bloody Mary’s are delicious. The locals hanging out at the bar afterwards are the most friendly down to earth people. Kinda like a “cheers” vibe.

The greens don’t roll true. Bumpy and a lot of marks everywhere. The fairways are in decent condition, but the lie around the green is so inconsistent. Patches everywhere of weeds. The sand bunkers are like and uncomfortable beach thy one wouldn’t feel comfortable taking there shoes off in. Very rocky, filled with rock pebbles sure to scratch your clubs. And on every hole the bunkers are absolutely horrific. The tee boxes are uneven, and jam packed with old divots not grown out. Staff is friendly and the bar is really nice. Over all I’d say this course is a 1/5 but only because of the conditions. The pace of play was bad (4 hour and 30 minute round) and the parking lot wasn’t even half full. You’ve got good ole boys out there playing like they are PGA pros taking 20 minutes a hole. I will say that the views on this course are nice and the weather was really good. No driving range and very small putting green. If your wanting to travel somewhere to play I’d say don’t drive more than 20 miles to play here or you’ll be disappointed. I guess 30$ makes sense for here.

Had to wait 10 minutes at each hole making a long and miserable day

Played here a few times but today was not a good day. We were all bunch up at the start and was waiting on every hole. Took us an hour to play 3 holes which is ridiculous. We finished in 5.5 hours. Crazy. The greens were awful. Pitch marks not being fixed and bumps all over the green. I had to putt through all this the entire round. The fairways were decent and the course layout itself is great. It’s due for aerification coming up so hopefully the greens will be better. Staff were nice.
