The golf course has had numerous complaints about residents windows and vehicle windows being shattered due to bad golfers and will do nothing about it. Terrible policy with a few terrible golfers that give this place a bad rep. If I had 2 more thumbs I'd give it 4 thumbs down.

Customer service from the manager was sad. He knows the etiquette and professionsm of golf and needs to show that since he is at the front desk. For the price a great course.

**Sierra Lakes Golf Club – A Must-Play Inland Empire Gem** Sierra Lakes Golf Club in Fontana is a fantastic course that offers a great blend of playability, challenge, and scenic beauty. The course layout is well-designed, with generous fairways that provide some forgiveness off the tee, yet strategic bunkering and water hazards keep things interesting. The greens are in excellent condition—true-rolling, quick, and receptive to well-struck approach shots. The staff is welcoming and professional, making check-in and the overall experience smooth.

This golf course almost makes you feel like if you were playing in palm springs. I think it's a very well kept course, challenging and nice scenery for being in Fontana. The restaurant has some good food as well. $$

Nice track. Slow play. No GPS. Range is mats + $2 if want a rubber tee...😑. Silly imo. Breakfast burrito was ok.

My review is only about the teaching pro, Rick Danruther. I highly recommend Rick for anyone interested in improving their game! My game was in the dumps. I've always been about a 13 handicap until recently I couldn't break 95 or even 100. I shot a 102 and was ready to quit the game. I did online lessons that didn't do anything except make things worse. I developed a major slice and a duck hook on my driver and was starting to get the yips pretty bad on my chipping. I was chunking and thinning irons all over the place. I signed up for 5 lessons with Rick and it is the best $ ever spent on my golf game. When you think about how we spend so much on golf clubs, lost balls at $50/box, and golf course fees, why don't we spend more on lessons??? and then being frustrated after shooting a bad round, the $ spent on lessons isn't much at all compared to our sanity! But then Rick! In my first lesson, Rick analyzed my swing and gave me a single swing thought. Every lesson things got a bit straighter and more consistent. My contact became more crisp and I pretty much eliminated the slices and hooks. As I improved, he gave me additional swing thoughts to tweak things just a bit. My swing is more on plane and I'm hitting the ball like I haven't hit it in a good 15 years. (I'm 54 y/o). The best thing is he didn't try to recreate my swing, he worked with what I already had, and made slight improvements to get things working again. To top it off, the dude is just a nice guy, patient, calm, and has a great demeanor. I just went out and shot an 81! From a 102 to 81 in about 2 months! The 81 was my best round in about 5 years at least. What a difference Rick has made in my golf game!!! Thanks Rick and thanks to Sierra Lakes for having such a great pro at your course. Maybe I'll do another 5 lessons to try to get into the 70s!

We were hired on for our Photo Booth service a couple of months ago at this venue and the staff were very friendly and helpful. They directed us to where we needed to set up. The outside has a large pond and is great for pictures. The inside is large enough for a nice reception and dance floor. I would definitely recommend this place.
