Coyote Lakes Golf Club

I have lived in Estrella Mountain Ranch in Goodyear for 24 years.

I have the Estrella golf course 10 minutes from my house but barely rarely play it because of the high cost.

I’ve driven by the sign off of Bell Avenue for Coyote Lakes golf course for years now and always said I was going to play it someday.

That someday came on May 9, 2024. My next-door neighbor visiting from Canada went with me.

He is used to playing on pristine tournament condition courses on Victoria Island. When we arrived we noticed what nice condition all the facilities and buildings were in. It looked like everything had been recently remodeled and updated very ,very nice! My neighbor was equally impressed.

Not to ramble on , all I can say is we were both blown away. This course has a great layout- challenging yet playable for bogey golfers like me, yet not a particularly long course.

In addition, it has a great beverage and snack bar with freshly made hamburgers, etc. at a reasonable price.

I will definitely be back again, again, again and again!

Course has a great layout, of the courses in sun city it’s the most challenging and my favorite lay out. Good price for what you get, especially when everything gets so expensive in season.

GN said Surprise AZ. Guys I played with said it was Peoria. Great greens and course design/ Other players said a company had purchased it and 2 other local courses with WATER rights in the past year and ALL the courses were looking good. The cost for NON residents is crazy unless you make it after WINTER RATES....

This is a very nice course. Loved playing it for the first time. Will go there many times for sure!

Pace of play was ridiculous over 5 hours; nobody cares how good of a golfer you are, they care if you are slow

Can't say this place would be super convenient for much of the valley but it is a great value. The track played with a surprising amount of slope and visual interest. I picked an afternoon with sustained 15+ mph winds with plenty of 25+ gusts which made the course extra challenging for a first timer. I'm looking forward to going back for another crack at it.

We got paired up with 2 beginners (which was not the issue). They didn’t have 2 sets of clubs. They had to share a set which means that when one is chipping, the other one had to wait to use the wedge before walking to their bail. That also applied to putting as well. Painfully slow.

The group in front of us were drunk and acting like idiots. They were playing bumper cars with the golf cart and kept leaving the flag on the green and walking away. They would get upset at their chips and swing chunks of divots on to the green. We almost got into fight because they didnt have any etiquette. Horrible day.

The group I play with love this course! The grass is green in most places. Fairways and greens are in great shape! The grounds crew do a great job and their hard work pays off. Traps need additional sand but are playable. Pace of play was a little slow but for the most part is was acceptable.

This is a very challenging course and you need to be straight off the tees. I do recommend this course.

Sounds insane considering the thousands of courses that could make the same claim, but this course has it all- and it’s priced very competitively so for my $ this is the best course in my world .

Always in perfect shape- super friendly and helpful staff. My son and I absolutely love playing here - thank you Coyote Lakes for making golf a great experience for us every week .

Tee shot accuracy is crucial to playing well at this course. Greens and fairways were in good shape. I’ll definitely play here again.

Awesome value! Tight fairways for the most part. Ok to hit less than driver on the majority of the holes if you have the distance to do so. Staff was great!

I love this course and play it every time I visit Phoenix. The staff there is wonderful, friendly. Unload your car, load it up, clean your clubs, treat you like a real private course. The course looks to the eye far narrower than it plays (at least for me), and course knowledge does help for sure. Glad I played with a local first time. Other courses in and around Phoenix charge a lot more for less. GPS in carts, greens were great, and conditions of fairways and tee boxes all well cared for.

Excellent course.

The only complain is that teeoff-markers are chaotic and hard to distinguish between black, blue, etc.

Otherwise 5 stars

First time playing Coyote Lakes and we truly enjoyed the course. Lay out is wonderful with lots of ups and downs and sidehills making it challenging but not crazy. Greens were fast but receptive with lots of nuance. Course was in wonderful condition and staff was excellent. Very happy we found this place and shall be returning.
