Played the final day of the course's season 10/18/20. Second group of day out at 10:10
Greens a little faster than normal.
Fairways had been punched late September and recently the areas around the greens and bunkers not fringe. Some par three white tee boxes (#8 for sure) need some over-seeding.
Had a great season here taking advantage of a ten play package usually offered in the early season. This was the second year using that plan.
Let it snow soon...

High ratings in all areas at this ocean-side gem. Played 10/11 8:30 on 225 mile 1-way day trip ride from Sacramento, and it was worth it.
Driving Route 1 past Marina and Seaside at sunrise Monterey Bay in view mild temperature gentle breeze. Just as we got to the SB parking lot the fog came in quickly. Played the first 3 holes in pea soup by feel and general direction from Alex only one of our group with experience here. Sun came out warm partly sunny the rest of the round. Nice as can be.
Greens rolled well maybe a touch slow as they had been liquid fertilized recently. All conditions excellent.
First tee area can be a little crowded. PPE protocol being followed.
Nothing more to say than highly recommend.

Played 10/4/20 early the dew was heavy on the grasses front 9. Course conditions overall very playable. I didn't lose a ball which doesn't often happen in my round.
Greens healed from aeration rolling a bit slow and bumpy allowing for aggressiveness with the flat stick. Alas held birdie-less. Two triples kept me out of the 80's
Fairways nice. Sand traps wet and footprints in most need a tilling.
Good service fast POP and it's a recommend as a lower difficulty rating and slope course. Busy when we finished most carts out on the course. Practical Covid rules.
Ok Fun.

Putting in my 2 cents to go along with the other GK reviews from Saturday 9/26.
Have had the course on my want to play list for a long time and interest increased with Mpisarski01 rating this it so highly.
It is more than I expected. Plenty of acreage so there are no holes forced into the landscape. Robert E Cupp (opened 2005) had all kinds of room and used it wisely. A fair test for any level player with many sets of tees and lots of room of the tee. The woods give up a few lost Pro V's and TP5's if you go in there looking for one of you own.
Just a neat experience from the time you check in at the security gate. Personal service from the bag drop to getting a ride uphill back to the parking lot from the "lake house" clubhouse over looking the 18th green after the round.
A NorCal / Reno NV / Truckee CA area must play for the golf aficionado. On my top ten list of courses I've played.
Highly recommend *****

Played Friday the first round of three in a row. 45 min to an hour drive north of Truckee CA.
Course has a simple efficient clubhouse and check-in driving range close to first tee. Course is very green and lush. Little smoke this day made it a perfect autumn Sierra golf day.

Mix of local and resort players and a friendly feeling atmosphere. We played white tees joined by Gk'er Steve. Fairways are like carpet the greens rolled well hardly a ball mark to be found.
A bit tight through the forest and resort rentals. At 6000+yards felt like moving up to a shorter tee box would have been better for our 20ish indexes. POP at our own and just a beautiful relaxing round of golf.

I know it's off the beaten track but if in the area its a thumbs up Recommend.
