Coyote Creek Golf Club - The Valley Course

The Valley Course was spectacular. Most people walking, perfect weather, and new great company.

Gotta hole and one on the 17th hole.

Perfect day at Coyote

The Valley course did not disappoint, I expected a quality course with Nicklaus name attached and it delivered. Staff was friendly and let you know course conditions including greens which was very helpful. Tee boxes were level, fairways were cut short so rollout was generous, rough was not bad at all and flag positions were challenging on certain holes which made play more interesting. I would recommend buying the course book which has all the distances and greens info, best 12 dollars I spent. I will be back for the tournament course in the near future. I would highly recommend this course.

Unfortunately not only is this course located next to a major freeway but it is also located in a wind tunnel.

Temporary drawback is that only handicap golfers may use golf carts on Valley Course.

I usually play the tournament course at this facility. It has well maintained greens and fairways, and has pretty consistent conditioning. However, since they are now charging $84 a round before 2:00 we decided to play the Valley course. Because of covid all the carts are use for the tournament course resulting in the Valley course being walking only even though it is close to 7,000 yards.

The fairway grass is very inconsistent with a lot of dried out spots. The greens were green but as hard as my concrete driveway. Impossible to land an approach shot soft enough to stay on the green.

I do like the course layout and contouring of the greens, but keep thinking that with better maintenance this would be a very nice course to play.

Went out with two friends and had another player join us. Had a decent day just not consistent on each hit. That’s in me of course.

I enjoy playing on different courses and I will definitely be back.

I was surprised to find out that the front nine was closed to aerate the greens. I was actually okay play holes 8-16 twice because I had originally planned to come out to get in a good practice round. The course was not crowded at all and I went solo hitting two different colored balls and keeping score for both. I have been having trouble control when hitting my driver so the practice was good. Second time around I hit my three wood. I will be playing golf here again,

It’s a hour drive from Palo Alto however I feel it’s worth the drive. On this day the greens were aerated with plenty of sand. No complaint here, the greens need to be maintained so had to putt on 18 mini.beaches.. look forward to going back with fresh greens.

Greens were fast but reasonable today. Wind heavy, two clubs less down wind and two clubs up into the wind. Staff was excellent and fairways were good.

Course conditions were great for the value, but play was very slow. Our group of 3 had to wait almost every shot and our round took an even 5 hours. Only members are allowed carts on the valley course, so I think this is partially caused by everyone having to walk. Even if most people still walked, I think having a few more carts available would be helpful.

I played on a Thursday morning on the Valley course on a whim. For what I paid, it was a good deal. Please keep in mind, I walked and used my own cart. I played with a couple of really cool older ladies and we had fun. Though the pace was pretty slow due to the party 2 groups ahead of us, it was all good. I tend to shoot high 80’s to mid 90’s and found the course challenging, but not annoyingly difficult. Going back to walking, if you do have difficulty walking, this might not be the option for you. As for the practice facility, it’s probably the best one around (note: I only play muni’s).

The fairways are in rough shape, no where near the condition of the Tournament course. Even the cart paths are broken and in need of rework. But on the plus side it was an incredible value for twilight play at $21 on GolfNow. The greens are in goood shape snd ther’s something very relaxing about the layout

Unfortunately it was pretty windy> than 10 knots and that alone can make this a challenging course. Pick a calm day and it would be a great practice course

Course is challenging yet not overly difficult. Some homes can be unforgiving for certain. Good golf however.
