SIERRA LAKES GOLF CLUB
🇺🇸 Fontana, CA, USA
Designed by Ted Robinson Sr.
Sierra Lakes Golf Club sits in Fontana in California's Inland Empire, roughly an hour east of Los Angeles. Designed by Ted Robinson Sr. and opened in the early 1990s, the course reflects Robinson's signature approach to golf architecture in Southern California's developed corridors: generous use of water features, strategic bunkering, and layouts that balance playability for daily-fee golfers with enough challenge to keep skilled players engaged.
The routing unfolds across relatively flat terrain typical of the region, with Robinson incorporating multiple lakes and ponds that come into play on several holes. Water hazards define both strategic decisions and visual character throughout the round. The course features Bermuda fairways and greens suited to the area's warm, dry climate, with mature trees now framing many holes after three decades of growth. Bunkering tends toward the bold, sculpted style Robinson favored, often positioned to guard greens and frame landing areas.
Sierra Lakes operates as a public facility serving the Inland Empire's substantial golfing population. The course sees steady play from local residents and visitors drawn to the region's concentration of accessible layouts. Robinson's design provides a straightforward test without severe elevation change, relying instead on water placement and green contours to create interest and variety across eighteen holes. The setting offers mountain views to the north and east on clear days, situating the course within the broader Southern California basin landscape.
