Coyote Creek Golf Club - The Tournament Course

Tee box, fairway,green are in good condition especially in this drought timing, drinking water are set in every few holes, we have nothing to complain j

with the wind even long hitters fail to get where you need to be, extremly difficult with the wind conditions, course is beautiful though.

Course was in great shape, greens were excellent. Definitely have to use course management to score well, very challenging course, enjoyed my day!

Drove to coyote creek from central valley in CA. The price was exactly as quoted in Golfnow.com and there were no surprises. Staff in pro shop were friendly and knowledgeable. Course was in great shape, and it was an overall great day ! Can't wait to come back.

This course requires more thinking and planning than any other I've played. If you like the course analysis part of golf, this design will capture your interest.

Nice course, excellent greens. Bunkers are sketchy, not much sand, pretty muddy. Rough was hard to get out of, but most of the time the ball sits up a little. It's just real club grabbing stuff. Fairways are real nice. Greens looked rolled, Putts roll real true.

Jack Nicklaus designed. What more can you say? Very challenging and it can be quite breezy out there

This course is a very long course and with the high winds starting in the early afternoon makes this course even tougher and longer. This is a great course if you really want to challenge yourself. Expect to use your long irons often. Driver, then 8-9 iron on to the green is out of the question.

One of the best bang for your buck deals. Course is in excellent shape, nothing at all to complain about.

Coyote Creek Tournament course is a gem. It is a "must play" destination in Silicon Valley. The cost is very attractive!

Try it!!

Pace of play was a little slow, picked up a little on back 9 when a twosome in front dropped out.
Greens were in great shape.
The local rule of no penalty when your ball goes in the rough is crazy and therefore good play is not rewarded (drop out and play with no penalty).

The course is in lovely shape except for the bunkers....there is no sand in them ...in process of being redone in the future....course is very challenging and greens run fast...approach shots from any distance are very hard to hold the greens ...you end up in 3 inch rough....a fun play for sure!!

I played this course on two days during a week. Both rounds in the afternoon. Great course, very well laid out and a very fair test of golf. There were no boring holes, truly worthy of a Jack N design. Only gripe I have was pace of play; both rounds 4.5+ hours on a Monday & Wednesday teeing off around noon. My suggestion is to have a marshal move the slow pokes along, saw a lot of ball collecting going on. Overall great course would recommend to all players, true gem.

Loved the course, the carts have GPS built in to assist with rangefinding. Be careful as the rough contains some poisonous plants and I'm still itching due to a rash from some contact. Won't keep me from coming back, just wish I had some prior warning.

Can't wait to come back and play again.

I pass by the Coyote Creek Golf Club everyday on my way to work; the standard green fees are towards my high limit, and I had heard that the Tournament Course is challenging, but I wanted to see where my game is on a first rate track. I found a good deal on Golf Now for $49.00 on a Saturday, so I booked the tee time as a single player. I was paired up with 3 other players.
The staff/facility is top notch for a public course. Great practice areas. The carts have a full screen GPS unit with the usual front/center/back yardages. The course is a great test of your skills to see what your strengths and weaknesses are. Every hole presents a challenge in some way, either right off the tee with your tee shot, or in your approaches to the undulating/hidden greens. Basically the course will shock you into reality of where you game plays (like it did for me) on a course that is really appropriate for 10 or better handicapper. The first 8 holes of the Tournament course will challenge you to bring your A-game. Every shot in your bag will be tested; not in a punishing/penal way, but more about forcing you to think about where you want to hit the ball, and having the skill to execute the shot (more practice rounds for me) All in all, Coyote Creek is a stiff challenge, but the quality of the facility and staff/food and beverage will more than make up for the bumps and bruises the course will give you.
The Valley Course is currently closed for repair. It is supposed to be more forgiving; I will give it a run on my next visit to Coyote Creek GC>

Played in the afternoon on an unusually calm day in under 4 hours. The sand traps could use some work but that is in the works. Otherwise, the Tourney course was in great shape.

I live about 90 miles away, so the drive - especially the return trip took nearly 3 hours (during commute traffic), so I wasn't happy about committing to play there, drive 200 miles and spend about 5 hours in the car. If I lived near the course, I'd play it often enough. Course layout was strange - I'd guess they re-numbered the holes now that they have 2 18 hole courses. One course was closed due to trap maintenance. Many "environmental areas" which don't allow you to enter the area. This speeds up play but can cost you a lot of balls if you don't hit the target areas. Fast greens take some getting used to. Overall, a nice course to play.

I have driven by the course a thousand time but finally decided to play it. Fortunately, my partner and I paired up with a twosome that had played the course many times and could tell us what to do and not to do. Of course know what to do and doing it are not always the same thing. Many of the holes have severe trouble layed out far from the green which makes things difficult. I would hit a good drive and then have to lay up with a short iron or go for a BIG (for me) 210 yd shot to carry the trouble. We did play from the blue tees and maybe should have played whites but I hit drives 240ish so usually can handle the blue tees. I plan to score better next time now that I have seen the layout and can play smarter? or not

course conditions were very good, weather was very good March. Thanks to golf now we were able to get good rate on green fees ($52). they have new gps system in the carts which are nice, but cart turned off twice during round as it thought we were in restricted area when we were on a cart path (cart came back on after couple min.). Great course in fees are kept reasonable.

Tournament course is a Great course Always a challenge. And they also updated their GPS system which is great and accurate
