Golfers can truly experience High Sierra golf at its finest at Coyote Moon Golf Course in Truckee, not far from the busting town of Reno. Located more than 6,000 feet above sea level, Coyote Moon is a delight for the senses, as the well-maintained fairways lead to blissful, panoramic views.

Part of what makes Reno and the High Sierras an outstanding golf destination, Coyote Moon was designed by former PGA Tour pro Brad Bell. This is a course that will challenge every level of golfer, and many make sure their vacation plans include a stop at this wilderness wonderland of a golf course.

With 18 scenic holes that overlook the Sierra Nevada ridgeline, Coyote Moon Golf Course gives players a true challenge. Because while the high altitudes will add distance to drives, the many trees will add a serious challenge, as will Trout Creek, which meanders throughout the course, With great service and conditions, Coyote Moon is a High Sierra gem.

Coyote Moon golf course in Truckee, CA

Love this course! Challenging, but I always score exceedingly well here. Saw two healthy looking coyotes and a handful of deer. Oh, and a tree on hole 2 that got hit by lightening!

Very picturesque

One of the prettiest and diverse courses. Greens are very challenging. If you are lucky you may see a few handsome bucks locking antlers in play

Really Nice Course

This is the second time I have played this course. The first time was a couple of years ago was a 1-2 star rating as the personnel (especially the course marshall's) wrecked the experience. No one seemed to appreciate guest golfers.

However, this time they seemed to have learned from other past player's comments as it was a very pleasurable experience. The staff was welcoming and friendly from start to finish and the course was in excellent condition. Only once did we have to ask the Marshall to stop following so close (we were on schedule). He did.

The epitome of mountain golf

The most unique course I’ve ever played. Went in expecting mountain golf... got so much more than expected. By the time I left I felt like i returned from an incredible backpacking journey. Played Edgewood a few days before and in my opinion Coyote Moon takes the cake due to how incredible it is that they were able to create a golf course in the mountainous terrain. Will certainly go back next year.

Beautiful mountain course, no houses!

Course was extremely well maintained. Interesting and challenging but not crazy difficult. Lots of holes you could run up on the green and others you couldn’t. Spectacular rock formation backdrop on the par 5 12th hole.

Coyote Moon best in Tahoe area

The course was absolutely perfect, we played it on Friday June 19, 2020 and could have not been happier with the course. The only complaint from our group was that we should have played this course last (we played 4) so the other courses wouldn't have seemed so bad. I've played all of the courses in the Tahoe/Truckee area and Coyote Moon is hands down the best.

Great scenic, challenging course

I have played quite a few courses from Southern California to the Canadian Border. This course is in my top 5 most beautiful and remote courses I have ever played. The course conditions were excellent, the staff members were great. There are a few kind of trick holes that I would have played differently , but all in all it was a wonderful experience. I am an old guy who doesn't drive the ball far anymore, (200-220 avg). If your driving distance is similar, take the pro's advice and play the forward tees; it will be a much more enjoyable experience. All kinds of wild fife around - enjoy!

good condition, no driving range, funky layout, pace of play abysmal!!!

good condition, no driving range, funky layout, pace of play abysmal!!!

We quit on 15. Never saw a marshal. took > 3 hours to play the front. golf is a tough business. Old Greenwood and Grays' Crossing nearly closed in early 2019 & they are much better courses than C. moon. I should have called the clubhouse to alert then to the pitiful pace of play but didn't do it, The weather was nice and the course is very nice although a few of the holes have a very funky layout. No driving range. Not worth $115.

Great views with a golf course!

This is a must play and see! I play here everytime I come up this way! The playing conditions weren’t as good as previous visits but they are still very, very good considering the long spring thaw! The only thing you’ll regret here, is that you didn’t score better! It will get ya if you lose focus!

The quality of the course is a reflection of all who work here!

I will play here many more times!

It is a must play!
