Eleven minutes from my front door. A little hidden gem right off the 101 in Buellton. Yeah, the Pea Soup Andersons town! Kind of like finding a good local surf spot... you hope nobody else finds it!

Favorite of locals and seniors and people who are just taking up the game... as it should be. A good place to work on your short game. Overall conditions are FAIR at best... but the greens are lightning fast!! Like indoor/outdoor carpeting fast! Stay below the hole or be prepared for your second putt to be from off the front of the green.

$14.00 Senior walking rate. You can play the same nine holes again... I didn't have time, but I will be back.

I have been wanting to play this course forever. Finally got my chance on Monday the 2 October 2022. As a twosome, playing with my fraternity brother's son who is, like the Dalai Lama... a "big hitter"!

We had a 9:00 AM starting time and the place looked deserted. A little foggy when we arrived. We used the Golf Moose app and got 50% off off the normal rate! We paid $99.00 for the both of us! Thanks Johnny GK and Greenskeeper.Org for this very cool program. They have lots of deals.

Very dewy morning so there wasn't a lot of fairway roll. Fairways lush but not completely green... no bare spots. Mowed to a perfect length. Rough was not too long but it was best to steer clear. Pretty juicy stuff when wet!

Greens.... inconsistent. Some smooth and fast. Some look like they are recovering from the last punching. Some were lumpy-bumpy. Soft enough to hold all shots well. But, man! People need to start fixing their pitch marks!! Players at nice courses should know better. Also, bottles of mulch and seed mixture on every cart! Fill your divots!

Bunkers also inconsistent. "Small medium and large rocks in wet cement" is how my playing partner described them. Back nine sand traps in much better condition. He was in a few... I was spared until the 18th hole.

Older electric carts with charging ports, ball and club washer, but no GPS. Recommend bringing your own range finder or app for the course.

Overall a great course, and although not in perfect shape, highly recommended! Now that I live in Santa Ynez... I will be back... often!

I was staying in Reno with a good friend and we decided it was too nice of a day to sit inside. Got a starting time at Sierra Sage for 11:20 AM. The starter got us off early.

The pro shop staff could not have been nicer or more knowledgeable. Gave us an extra token for range balls. And a very detailed course guide book. Came in handy as there were no GPS screens on the carts.

Played with another twosome, a father and son combo... Dad struggled a bit, but a couple of nicer guys you couldn't find!

The course is fairly flat and not a lot of trees. As a matter of fact, I might say it is wide open. There's some trouble here in there but you can generally find the fairway. The rough was not too long nor punishing. The fairways were in excellent shape. People were filling their divots and the turf grass was in great condition.

Compared to the greens I play regularly in Northern California, these were lightning fast. Like crazy fast. Nothing rolled off the green uncontrollably, but you really had to watch a downhill putt.

I only found one sand trap all day, but I got out cleanly because they were in super nice shape. Fluffy sand, not too wet.

I didn't eat anything at the clubhouse bar-and-grill, but my partner said that the hot dog was one of the best. Lots of choices like sauerkraut, jalapeno relish and spicy mustard.

If you are in Reno, try this course. It gets the Cheeseburger seal of approval! $45.00, senior rate, including cart.

So I thought I would give Foxtail another chance. I last played it on Easter Sunday. I figured I would give it five months to recover. Unfortunately... it has gotten nothing but worse. Sorry to say this, because it's a short drive to get to the course and it's a nice layout. But the conditions are now officially in the "terrible" range. I cannot believe the shape of the fairways. They are beyond description. So bad. Gopher holes. Flooding. Bare spots. Un-mowed sections. It looks like a greenskeeper has not seen this place in 6-months. I shan't be back. Sorry to say. At $32 for a walking senior rate, it's still not worth it. Rest in peace, Foxtail... you are dead to me.
