Reviews of Lake Almanor West Golf Course point to a strongly positive trend: lush, scenic, well‑kept greens, a fun 9‑hole layout with dual tees, and exceptionally friendly, accommodating staff (even helping an EV golfer). The grill gets frequent praise. Downsides: pricing feels high to some and a few note dry fairways or a basic feel. Little to no info on wait times, “inventory,” yard organization, or parts—likely not applicable. Overall: 93/100.

What clients say about Lake Almanor West Golf Course in Rochester (CA)
Golf course is a great shape. Very expensive for what you get. Cost me $125.00 for a 2some 9 holes with a cart. Diamond Mountain Golf Course is $74.00 for the same thing. Diamond Mountain Golf Course is also an 18 hole Golf course, so if you want to play 18 holes you don't have to play the same 9 holes. Like I said course is in great shape, but so are most of the courses in the area. Probably wouldn't play there again. Almenor West also doesn't comp a PGA teaching pro or a general manager from another course. I find this a little ridiculous. I manager a course and that is a priority of mine. Oh well each to their own. My opinion go to the Diamond Mountain Golf Course if you want quality at a very affordable price.
I drove to the course from the Bay Area in my electric vehicle with a couple of buddies for a weekend of golf. Charging options in the area are extremely limited. We found a slow charger in Chester, and I asked the staff at the pro shop if they could pick us up at the charging station the next day and bring us to the golf course, and return us to the charging station after we finished our round. They immediately agreed to accommodate my request. The golf course was in excellent condition, and the staff was extremely helpful, especially Kim and Hope.
Great course! Really enjoyed the layout and amazing views thru the trees. The different tee box's (white front/blue back), make each 9 unique and offer different challenges. Some holes are a little narrow so fair way shots are rewarded. Will definitely be back.
Almanor west grill at the lake almanor west golf course: stopped in for lunch on the patio. We had the Philly cheese steak, Reuben fries and the pickle fries. Also ordered, the cheese curds, but not pictured. Probably one of the best cheese curds we've had. I had higher hopes for the Reuben fries, but the fried pickle spear were amazing. The philly cheese steak and patty melt got got 2 thumbs up from the teen age boys. My fried food extravaganza paired nicely with the draft 805.
I recommend visiting this summer for lunch.
This golf course has it all for anyone looking to relax in the Almanor area. The scenery was breathtaking and the ultra-friendly staff made the experience even more memorable. I will absolutely be coming back in the near future.
