I’ve played this course 8 or 9 times
Course was always in great shape
This time it was really rundown
Bunkers- Rock hard
Fairways- Hard and dry
Greens - Shaggy
Also had downed trees and damage still on the course

Awesome course but too close of tee times!

Also wondering what the typical schedule is for cart gal for waters and snacks on the course? Saw her once and that was it but maybe that was all that is planned??

I’m a foodie and only eat organic, definitely over bar food…so I may not ever be able to eat at the course.

Well done otherwise!

Horrendous Course Conditions

Very poor fairways, tee boxes and greens. Got a deal time with coupon and paid $28. Not worth the drive or discount. I was told the mower broke. Beware and stay clear. Dark Horse or the Ridge is a much better choice for slightly higher green fee.

Good for the money

I really like this course, but it seems to be lacking in fairway maintenance. Lots of dry spots. After this winter you would think it would be in better condition. Greens are nice but fairways are not in great shape. Food we got at the turn was very good.

Cold weather

Ripped off

Yesterday, the weather was cold, rainy with THUNDERSTORMS. I called the pro shop at least 5 times to see if they were open. No one answered.
We chose not to play because of THUNDERSTORMS.
This morning I called Alta Sierra to see about a rain check. They stated that because we booked through Golf Now they could do nothing. In light of the fact that there were THUNDERSTORMS, and they never answered their phone, I expect a refund of $128.00 from Golf Now.

Surely, Golf Now would not have us play in a THUNDERSTORM, and because Alta Sierra never answered their phone, we assumed they had closed due to weather.
I expect a timely response.
Thanks,
Dave Krizman

Nice course for the $

Course was in great shape. Pace of play was okay, better than it is at many other courses. Keep an eye out for online rates, and play this course for a very reasonable price.

Drive 70 miles for 3 holes

Played 3 holes and left the golf course. A family of 6 in front of us were husband and wife, grandma and 2 little kids and they were all hitting balls but even in front of them there were 2 groups waiting at tee boxes because everyone had to wait to get a cart because there weren't any.

First Time Playing

First time out this year

This and awesome foothill layout. A little bit rough around the edges, but let's be honest they are coming out of an extreme winter. Based on that I was pleasantly surprised with the conditions of the fairway/ rough.. Greens rolled very well considering it looked as if aerated 7 -10 days ago. The greens are always very slow to me, but again knowing that very fun day
