First time playing Sierra Lakes on Sat Aug 13. Had the 7:08 tee time as a single and joined two other singles who were a pleasure to spend the time with. At the first tee, there is a starter getting everyone lined up in the proper order which is great. We were stuck behind a very slow 4-some all day long, but in their defense the group ahead was also very slow. Just a little painful to watch the group ahead tee off on 16 of 18 holes, especially when one of the players was really struggling to get off the tee. Anyhow, on to the course conditions. I was super impressed with the conditions at Sierra Lakes. Very level tee boxes, fairways were mostly green and nearly immaculate especially for summer conditions in 100-degree weather. The greens were really amazing and rolled very true. I didn't hit into any bunkers but they seemed like they were fine. The only downside was the pace of 5 hours -- we walked off the course at 12:15 pm. But all in all, it was a very good experience, and I definitely want to play again because the conditions are great. It's a pretty fair course with a good mix of holes. It helps to have a local with you because there are some hidden trouble spots to stay away from too.
