Bad business now allows ride cart in HOT weather

After I booked the tee time and made a call to the golf shop to find out the cart fees and I confirmed there will be additional charges. I am totally fine with it.

We arrived and check-in 45 minutes earlier at the course before our tee time's 10:15. Unfortunately, we didn't play today due to the confusion at the front desk and not allows us to ride the cart.

We saw other golfers ride a cart on the course plus there are many ready empty carts but not allowing us. So we were confused and decided not to golf especially under 106-degree HOT weather.

I'd like to get my credit refund.

Thank you,

Josh

Greens needs some work. Other than that its a nice fair round and enjoyable to play. Courser is forgiving, so you can have a good time without searching for that one or two lost balls.

Blotchy greens and hard-pack bunkers

I play the valley and tournament courses at coyote Creek quite often. Until recently, the greens have been in excellent condition. However, they have become very blotchy and the ball is not rolling true. In addition, many of the bunkers have become hard pack with no fluff to the sand.

Won't be back for a while...

I've played the Valley course a half dozen times in the last year, and have always enjoyed the course. I last played it in June, and was disappointed in the 4.5 hour round, despite the good course condition and reasonable price ($35). However, I left after 9 holes during my most recent round after it took 2.5 hours. Waiting on every tee box, standing in every fairway, without a marshal in sight. I did see the cart girl about 5 times, so maybe they're more concerned with beer sales than pace of play. I had been considering a membership here, but I won't be paying money to stand around in the sun at Coyote Creek anytime soon.

Carts

GREAT COURSE. Just know that the Valley course does not allow carts unless you’re a member. And they don’t usually have push carts available so you have to carry your bag for 18 holes. BUT great course!

Walking Only but set up for Carts only

Course was walking only due to COVID restrictions and that was totally fine. The problem was the course layout makes no sense to the walking golfer. Signage is all along the cart paths and the tee box right off the green is rarely your next hole. I waited for 10 minutes on a tee box for the group in front to clear before realizing I was on the wrong hole. Learned I had to walk along cart paths to see signs of where the next hole was frequently passing another tee box to get to my hole. Probably walked an extra mile or so just getting between holes. The course itself I knew was very flat and a friendly entry level course. For the price it was exactly what I expected and had no complaints. It’s nothing special but a good option to go out and play and not spend a ton. I would likely play this more often if the routing was set up for walking but I don’t want to walk a course that is clearly routed for carts. There are other options during this time that I’ll frequent while restrictions are in place. May come back after things return to normal. Played at 5:15pm and pace of play was brisk as a result. Can’t really comment on earlier in the day but my experience of pace of play on the Tournament course makes me skeptical

No carts available to the public

I was told no carts available to the public because of the pandemic funny how the same carts are mandatory on the tournament course where the green fees are30$ more but you can't walk ...have to ride ...get your staff on the same your place is barely worth 25 $ ...,Az golfer
