Alta Sierra Country Club

I’m a member at a few clubs from Florida to California & was really in awww with the lack of care the course has for rules or pace of play

They claimed it was slow due to cart path only

I walked 18 holes in 3 hours & 20 minutes at a home course running 6700 yards

The issue with this course is you get the kids coming and hitting 2-3 off the tee box
2-3 approach shots after they shank em

And the Marshalls don’t ever hold anyone to the pace of play set per hole

Pace of play was deathly slow. Seemed like this is the place newbie’s come to play, young kids without golf etiquette. Needs a Marshall. Fairway grass was thin and muddy, tee boxes weren’t amazing and greens were bumpy with long grass. Bunkers are hard packed mud with poor drainage. Layout and design was challenging, could be a nice course with better management all around.

Beautiful day, beautiful course. Greens are good, but tough to read. Be prepared to fooled by some of the breaks!

Had a great time!
Layout was great and the design was superb!
Good value for the money!

Super fun course! It was really wet and over watered. The greens were really fuzzy but in great condition

We completed the front only to discover the shop had sent groups out to start on the back nine...?
A slow round made longer!

Course was in good condition considering all the weather they have faced. Pace of play was good and staff was friendly!

This is one of my favorite courses in the area. Beautiful layout, well kept, staff friendliness, and now with new carts, makes this course a real gem.

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.

Good test of golf. Greens rolled great. Hidden gem.

40-44 degrees but beautiful day and not many golfers

Very cold,, but had the course to ourselves. The employee in the pro shop saved my wife with a beannie ! we were so grateful !
I love this course,,always have
