Fun course

Coyote creek can be really fun if you're hitting it straight. There is danger on both sides, so make sure you bring a few extra balls.

The front nine is a little easier. The last two holes are the toughest because the wind blows strong and there's water everywhere.

awesome conditions

One of my favorite courses in the south san jose area. the course conditions are similar to a private country club. Great Tee boxes, fairways are cut with some rough on edges, greens roll true with subtle breaks.

The tournament course is worth the challenges!!

The course is always in top notch condition

Have played several times here and I have yet to be disappointed in its condition. The staff is very friendly and helpful. As an example I forgot my putter this last visit and Shawn at the pro shop immediately loaned me one. I had a great experience with the putter. Definitely will be playing many more rounds here.

First Time Playing

Coyote Creek near San Jose

Interesting, friendly, very well maintained and yet also challenging course. The wind blows generally down the valley and so when hitting into the wind on several holes it is pretty tough to reach the greens in regulation. Traffic noise from proximity to the adjacent freeway was unexpected given that setting is lovely and really very scenic. Pace of play is slow but goes with the challenging layout and the wind - most players needing more shots to reach the greens. Will definitely visit the course again.

this course has great features

A very nice course layout, challenge course for mid to low handie players. Windy day which will test your adjustment on club selections. Great grass condition at fairway and green, sand trap as well. Friendly service at pro-shop, easy and relax Sunday afternoon. Definitely a good golf course worth to go.

Fantastic fast greens

The course was in very excellent shape, the greens are completely healed from the aeration back 6 to 8 weeks ago, they were fast and ran very true. We began @ 12:30, played in 4 hours, no problem with any slow golfers on the course.

There are two goofy designed holes on the course that make you lay up to a river and then have a nearly 200 third yard shot to the green. The course has some difficult holes, some tricky holes, but enjoy playing a place that is truly properly maintained.

Better than ever

The tournament course, and the Valley too has always been kept in tip top shape. It’s easy to recall the the Senior PGA used to have a tour stop there. Great layout, challenging but fair. We got paired with a mid handicap-capper (like us) that had never played the course before. Honestly there were about 3 times we steered him away from the seemingly obvious but treacherous routes but otherwise, what you see is what you get. Greens had been punched in the last month but the new growth was taking very well. Thanks for a great day Coyote Creek.

The Tournament Course is always a challenge. With some wind and greens that were aerated about 10 days prior, a bit more of a challenge. I was paired with one other player, and we completed our round in less than 4 hours. Enjoyable.

Opening day of The Masters

It was opening day of The Masters.

And all I could think about was to take advantage of the day. Then come home and watch The Masters later on that night. The course is coming around , sand traps are clean and well manicured. Fairways are looking great and in perfect shape. The greens were running fast but challenging.The staff was very nice and accommodating.

I will definitely be back here next week!
