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

Great course

I live in the Sacramento area and enjoy driving to this course when I can. Greens are fast and it’s a great layout. Not expensive. I’m sure it costs more than most courses closer to me, when I factor the cost of gasoline. But it’s a great atmosphere. No traffic or freeways nearby. Just quiet and enjoyable.

Excellent golf course.

I love this course. It’s a beautiful mountain course with hills and valleys, drop offs to the par 3 green, ponds. So much fun. Conditions are really good but not perfect, but for $30-$40 hot deal it’s great.
