Inland Empire Water and Wide Skies

Sierra Lakes Golf Club Fontana, California

A Ted Robinson course in Fontana, built around lakes in a part of Southern California that always has more sky than coastline.

The place

Sierra Lakes sits at 16600 Clubhouse Drive in Fontana, which is a very Inland Empire sentence. Ted Robinson loved water, and this layout does not hide it. Against the San Bernardino Mountains, the course feels like a different California than the one on postcards—hotter, wider, and still capable of a beautiful afternoon if you respect the heat.

JW’s personal notes from the round will live here — the funny moment, the people, the 19th hole — without inventing what hasn’t been written yet.
