First off course was in much better condition than most reviews we read before going. That said this maybe NOT the course for short hitting men or women, it is not so much the length but the kikuyu grass fairways and all around the greens making landing short, just that short. Long hitters, for sure off tee may find this really great course, but short hitters are not getting any roll if they have much height on tee shots. You may find it hard to chip off the kikuyu also if your not used to it and the kikuyu around most greens is packed TIGHT. I would call it a good course for long hitters off the tee just to get closer to greens and be able to hit greens with short irons. The course if very popular and was full on the Monday we played, just know if you never have played on an almost full kikuyu course the first time is different for sure (and hard).

Monday, 6/22, was our first private course event at Alta Vista CC. It was a big turnout of over 100 players on a beautiful day. I was impressed with the fun challenging layout providing a large variety elevation changes and doglegs. The course was in excellent condition tee to green. Greens rolled smooth, held shots and were moderately fast. Fairways were lush and groomed providing great lies all day. Rough was a challenging blend of Kikuyu/Bermuda, about 2 inches adjacent to the fairways and about 3 to 4 inches greenside. Tee boxes were level, lush and well groomed. The bunkers lagged in comparison to the rest of the course from a condition’s standpoint due to sand quality which I found to be mostly firm and a little crusty. Interesting characteristic about the bunkers is they are all filled to capacity with about 1-to-2-inch lips. It seems like you could putt out of them but the edges of the bunkers are all surrounded by 4 inch Kikuyu/Bermunda rough making it highly unadvisable.

For an event organizer standpoint, Alta Vista CC has a fantastic staging area. Driving range, practice putting, proshop, golf carts, bag-drop, clubhouse, snack bar, parking and first tee box are all conveniently located for your group. With their excellent outside services and well-organized staging area, our group thoroughly enjoyed their pre-round experience. Plus, it made it easy for us organizers to check-in and keep track of our players.
I just posted some photos. The course looks even better in person.

It was a great day teeing up with GKers rgm2525, sparky14 and Itslikeimsayin who helped with the event!

I highly recommend Alta Vista CC for golf events and those interested in memberships.

We will be back!

Early round on a somewhat overcast morning, but still very pleasant. Michael's review was spot on, as I agree Butterfield is in as nice condition as I can remember, except of course for the bunkers, which usually are not that bad. Greens have always been the highlight of these two courses. Not a lot on run-out on the fairways, so combined with the early morning dampness, made t... » More

Greens have always been the highlight of these two courses. Not a lot on run-out on the fairways, so combined with the early morning dampness, made the course play longer than usual. Still reasonably priced, which is a rare commodity these days. Staff as always is great.

Formerly Jack Kramers racket club,open since 1925. Starter had my group off on time (10:17) for a trip around the South course. 6 par 5's in total first 2 holes on the front are 5's! 6700 yds from the mens is a very good test for a 15 like me. Bombers will enjoy the length and generous width of these beautiful fairways, beware of landing area slope. Enjoyed the full length cart... » More

Bombers will enjoy the length and generous width of these beautiful fairways, beware of landing area slope. Enjoyed the full length cart paths ( most in need of replacement ), nice modern GPS systems, not so fun geo-fencing. Mixed bag of sand trap textures of which I tested 5. Greens are receiving very nicely, rolling a bit slow compared to rounds at Indian, Butterfield, Jurupa of late. POP was aggravating (4:45) for a Tuesday morning, likly players challenging the south instead of the north course. You will enjoy the modern club house and restroom facilities, decent warmup on matt driving range and multiple practice putting surfaces. See ya out there.

No reviews for this course for several years, I'm surprised as it gets a ton of play.

Played yesterday, Monday, 6-22-2026. 2:40pm teetime and off on time. Slow start the first few holes but then things picked up. We were done around 6pm, so POP just over 3hrs. Waited on most tee boxes for just a minute or two, but not bad. Played with my buddy and our wives, so ... » More

No reviews for this course for several years, I'm surprised as it gets a ton of play.

Played yesterday, Monday, 6-22-2026. 2:40pm teetime and off on time. Slow start the first few holes but then things picked up. We were done around 6pm, so POP just over 3hrs. Waited on most tee boxes for just a minute or two, but not bad. Played with my buddy and our wives, so the ladies tend to like a nice slow pace. $25 to walk was well worth it.

Blue tees are pretty chewed up and not level. Big crowns or slopes in most all the tee boxes, they should really put some work into them. Nonetheless, take an extra few seconds to find a decent spot to tee it up.

Fairways were nice on the two par 4's. No complaints.

Bunkers were fairly fluffy but that's not a good thing when nobody rakes them!!! Tons of foot prints that were deep. I found two of them and they were very difficult to get out of, basically grip it and rip it out of the sand just to make sure you got out of the bunker.

Greens were fairly quick but were bumpy late in the day. They held shots very well, but were difficult to read. The cups were cut on some severe slopes and with the bumps, it was hit and pray.

No frills customer service, no beverage cart, but we BYOB, so not a big deal. Marshal was around a few times which was nice.

I recommend the course expecially for a casual game with beginners. It's fun and easy to walk. It has some elevation change and keeps your attention. Get on out there and have some fun.
