Recently took a golfing trip in Phoenix area and did a lot of research for my golf rounds. Was looking forward to playing this course but I left extremely disappointed in the course.

First of all, I booked a tee time for 6:18 am, my confirmation email even said 6:18 am, when I arrived at the course they informed me my time was 6:26. I asked the starter what that was about and he rudely said he didn't know, and that is what the tee sheet said. He was incredibly rude and would not even look in to my situation.

2nd, the value for this golf course was terrible. I was charged nearly $120 dollars for this round. That is fine if its a nice course, but this course is in horrible shape, the cart I was given was dirty and had food crumbs all over it and It was the most expensive round of my trip. I mean I played other 5 star courses for 107, 110 and 65 dollars. This course was a rip off.

Take a look at my pics. And think twice before booking a round here.

Had a really enjoyable round here at San Marcos. you could tell it was an old school course with a neat layout. The course was in pretty good condition overall.

Pace of pay was slighly over 4.5 hours, pretty average for todays golf courses. But not necessarily fast.

Would definitely play again

Golf course was a pretty fun layout. The starter was a very friendly welcoming guy.

My biggest problem was the conditions of the fairways and roughs. They’re were huge patches of crabgrass and missing turf all over. The greens were pretty good and rolled true.

Lots of elevation changes at this course. Know you have to take a cart here.

Also, for $120. The condition ought to be a lot better than this.

Overall I enjoyed my round

I normally really enjoy playing golf at Alta Sierra. I usually look forward to my rounds there and really like the course and staff.

Unfortunately my last round the day after thanksgiving was a completely different experience and has me questioning going back.

The course was in similar condition to previous rounds. And that is not my complaint.

My complaint is with the pace of play and the marshal. It was a horrendously slow, over 5 hour round. I walked the course (as not many do there) and had to wait on the incredibly slow group in front of us on Every, Single, Shot. The course Marshal/player assistant drove by us each time, asking if the pace of play was poor. And each time I explained how slow and terrible the pace was that day. What was disappointing was that each time I informed the marshal about the slow play of the group in front of us, he said it was backed up in front of that group. I wasn't able to see ahead of us until the back nine, at that point it was clear that there was no one holding up the group in front of us, that it was just them playing slowly. The marshal passed us 3 times on the back and I complained each time and he did nothing about it. It was so frustrating.

Debating just giving up on playing at Alta Sierra, even thought it has always been a favorite. I think maybe I will give them another chance. But I don't know.

Played this course on Sunday 10/2/22. It was not too busy and it was so nice to not wait on groups on a weekend round.

The course is in excellent all around conditions. My only complaint was the green speeds were much slower than I am used to or expect. If you can get past slow greens. I think this course is a great value

My first time playing Alta Sierra. I thought the layout was great and the course conditions were excellent. My only real complaint was the slow pace of play. The value for my money was excellent. Of course and it’s beautiful setting will definitely get me back again.

Played the course for the first time since September. I thought the greens fee for the winter round was extremely reasonable. I had never played it in winter before and while I am grateful I was able to play at all in January, the course was not in typical pronghorn conditions. The greens were very bumpy from aeration, and sandy. Just didn’t not roll like I have come to expect from Pronghorn greens. I do understand that its winter conditions so I would say that has got to be why. The rest of the course was in great shape for winter and the pace of play was fantastic. I actually shot my best score for for the Nicklaus course and had a great time.

Played on a Monday morning as a single. Was paired up with some nice golfers. I felt the staff was super friendly and helpful. The course was in real nice shape for a muni. Has plenty of challenges for an experienced golfer. The pace of play was slightly slow at times, but their was a full tee sheet of foursomes in front of us. I hadn't played the course in a very long time, but it is just how I remembered it. The changes to 1 and 10 they made a ways back were very much needed.

Awesome course. Will be back

I also found this course a fantastic value. only about 20 bucks to walk

We had a fun round. Pace of play was pretty slow. Saw a cool eagle and an osprey.

I always enjoy playing auburn valley. It’s such a classic course with a fun layout. It’s challenging but fun. Today the greens were really fast but rolled great. So that was an extra challenge on already tough greens.

Had an awesome round at Lost Tracks with my Dad. Neither of us had played there before. We both really enjoyed the course, the difficulty and the layout were fun and it was in great condition. My pace of play rating was improved by the fact we were the first tee time of the day. Would be interested in how the pace is later on during the day.

Love playing at Juniper. Wonderful course design that offers just enough of a challenge, Lots of fun
