Coyote Creek Golf Club - The Tournament Course

Course conditions are better than I've ever seen them, looks like the grounds crew has been picking up the slack of the players to fix pitch marks, greens look incredible. The only complaint I have about this course is the pace of play, which is always at a crawl unless you are one of the first groups out. This course is riding-only, there is absolutely zero reason for 4.5-5 hour rounds, which is absolutely miserable for the avid golfer. I used to play this course 15-20x per year, but it has been much less lately due to pace of play. I know a lot of local golfers feel the same, and would play it more often if a marshal kept the pace of play at 4 hours.

Coyote Creek could be a champion course but it unfortunatel is managed poorly. About a couple months ago they blamed not being able to get carts for waiting for an order. That order came in and during my recent visit, they still ran out, very poor planning. The course itself is in decent shape except for the ridiculous amount of geese crap on the 16th hole Tournament. How hard is to setup some geese deterants, other courses do it. The pace of play was extremely slow for a Sunday and the lovely cart GPS keeps reminding you on a your pace of play every 5 min, but there was no Marshall to be found to speed up the play on the groups ahead causing the issue. Lastly, not sure why every time I go to the driving range we are hitting off dirt. They seem to be rotating where we tee off but not caring for the grounds so you are just rotating back to old dead grass spots.

Really enjoyed the course despite the wind.

Greens were in good shape and rolled true. Fairways were well cut and tee blocks well maintained.

Clubhouse had great food at reasonable prices as well.

I'd play it again for certain.

There was a long and loud wedding ceremony going on in the middle of the day and during the round blocking the cart paths and access to the 18th hole green.

There was no previous announcement about this event so it really interrupted and annoyed many players on the course.

It felt more like a venue/banquet place than a golf course.

Regret that I didn’t ask for any discount or reschedule if I were told beforehand

Tournament Course Only… the Valley course is useless…

The Tournament course is always a measurement of your golf abilities. The greens were extremely fast and well taken care of.. Stay out of the bunkers, sand is hard packed. Someday I hope to get par on hole 6.

Coyote Creek Tournament Course is a track on the downward slide. Right now, there is encroaching crab grass that has spread from just outside the rough to basically being spread throughout, with parts intruding into the fairways. The fairways themselves are as much divot as they are grass. The integrity of the layout is severely compromised as course maintenance consists of simply mowing the grass. The hazards (water, ravines etc) are poorly attended to as well leaving you with a feeling of a substandard muni. It’s hard to see any value here.

The Valley course, considered the lesser of the two, might actually be the one to play as (while it’s conditions are no better) the price during weekdays are closer to its deserving price. Nearly every course in the area at the same price point are much better maintained. Choose elsewhere.
