TWO LOVELY COURSES

I recently played both the Tournament and Valley courses at Coyote Creek ...both rounds were very enjoyable...the condition of both courses is excellent and well worth playing....I do prefer the tournament course..variation of holes seems to be greater on the tournament than the valley course...all in all a lot of fun...

Home course

Coyote is 5 miles from my house. I played here often. The course is always in good condition. My only complain is sometimes the pace of play is slow if you get behind a slow group. I have played this course in 3.5 hours.

Disappointed

Has to be the worst Jack Course I’ve ever played . Trees down everywhere , rough looked like cow pastures . I’ve played on municipal courses in better shape. Way to bring the name down.

Long with challenging greens

A really nice course - very long 7000+ yards. You will hit many more driver shots than most courses. Greens are undulating and challenging depending on pin placements. Fairways are pretty open. It was very windy and this increased the challenge. Pace of play was slow - 5 hours with a cart. Overall enjoyable.

Less than expected

I was expecting something on par with the Tournament Course. But it was a significant step down. Will return to play the Tournament course; but not the Valley.

Awesome and Challenging

We had the opportunity to play the Valley side of Coyote Creek yesterday and even with the rains the few days before, the course was in excellent shape and very playable.

And most importantly is the great staff from the gentleman getting us settled on the carts, to Madison at the desk in the Proshop, to the amazing staff in the bar/restaurant ... Donna, Brisa, and Alyssa. We have a lot of choices of good courses but always have a fantastic time at Coyote Creek!

Too hard

Played here for the first time and thought highly of the course. However it is too challenging for a regular amateur player. You could not tell if the flag-stick were in the middle, front or in the back. The yardages in the cart were inaccurate as well.

Overall, the course was too challenging. I would only play there if I got invited. There was ground under repair on tee-boxes. It was a disappointing experience and hopefully it will be changed in the summer.
