You could feel that you are playing in the private country club. The staffs are really well trained and the restaurant's food quality is so amazing.
Golf course condition and management are also top quality.

Signature Jack course in the South Bay

I picked a nice sunny day about 2 weeks after the greens were plugged so ideal conditions. The course is relatively flat and there is a good mix of trees and bunkers with minimal water hazards. I enjoyed my round very much as the rough wasn't too difficult to manage. The greens were slower than I was expecting but were in good shape.

Fun place

This course is very fun. i would rate it hard but not overkill for mid to low handicap players. If you hit it long and straight you will score well. I really appreciated the greens they rolled very reasonably probably a 10 stomp very prestine minus the few locals leaving their ball marks for the maintenance crew. The lady at the pro shop is my sole complaint. I'm not a fan of people who like to throw their wait around especially customer service workers. Seemed like it was the joy of her day to deny any request for hospitality I made. The guy at the range was nice though.
*note on value only 4 stars at 30$ payed not the house rate.

It's been years since I last played this course. Best greens I've played in the area. Nice wide open fairways. Definitely one of my favorite for the price.

Valley Course

Kind of a convoluted layout. If you like to walk you will get frustrated by the distance between tee boxes. There are a couple of interesting holes but many are pretty straight forward. Greens are in fantastic shape.

Need Breakfast

The only thing really I have a recommendation for is, have breakfast burritos available before 9:00 a.m. Tee times before 9:00 a.m. You are on your own. Snack shack does not open until 9:00. However manager at first tee let the food cart know out cart number and she came to us a couple hours later with burritos. Thanks.

First time playing this course. Course layout is great especially for a hacker like me. Did not run into any trouble. Fairways were in good condition, rough was thick, greens were fast, hole placement was challenging on some holes. All around myself and playing partner had a great time. Staff was friendly, "beer cart" was accessible and friendly. Would recommend for all playing capabilities.

Good Layout

Nice course layout that offers a challenge to any skill of golfer. Valley course though needs some TLC done to it. Lots of big bare spots where the rough should be. The sand traps are in horrific shape, like hitting off of the cart path! With the bunkers strategically placed where some if not most of tee shots end up in them you would think that the course would take better care of them. Greens were really nice and firm, the type that if you go at the pin on approach shots the ball ends up on the back or in the rough. Overall not worth the $80 it cost me to play there, more like a $45 to $50 course.

Pay the extra $$ & play the tournament course

Have played the tournament course a few times (2-3 years ago) and it was in excellent condition with a lot of interesting/challenging golf holes. I knew the valley course had some holes left over from the old Riverside course, but with the exception of 3-4 holes, it was one of the most boring courses I've ever played. Due to the drought they are not able to cut the grass as short as they used to (compared to the tournament course)on the fairways, tees & greens.
Better selections of course out there!

quite a challenge for a 15 handicap

blue tee will be quite challenge for mid-handicap. With the wind as a factor, some par-4 holes look like par-5, especially where hazard around the green.

Fun course to play for moderate skilled players

I like most the short game practice range.. staff at check in very nice and helpful. If you keep your ball in play its a fun course..Greens are in better shape than previously..I hope they'll keep them thus. It all made for a nice afternonon.

Wide Open

Good challenge, especially from the back tees. Couple of young bucks were paired with me…..big hitters….to the other fairways….caused time to drag.
Off fairway conditions were dry…..but course was good. Greens a little hairy, however, recently sanded and was a bit overgrown, but I'm sure they will be much better within the week.

Nice and convenient

Used golfnow on Fri. for a 9:10 a.m. Time on Sunday. Paired up with a nice local couple. Rough was long & tough. Greens all multi-sloped & a little bumpy. Overall a good option when passing thru as we were.

Coyote Creek - Valley Course

The course was in Ok condition. The greens were good but the fairways have a surprising number of sketchy spots, especially for a course that markets itself a bit on the higher end. I play both courses a few times year. I generally don't play unless I find a deal on Golfnow.

Pace of play could have been much faster. Not necessarily a knock on the course, but slow groups never seem to know or inclined to let much faster groups play through. Didn't see any marshals on the course the entire time or a starter on the first tee, which was the start of the slow down for my twosome. Pulled up to the first tee ahead of schedule. The threesome in front was already late getting off the tee and then proceeded to not even reach the fairway on their tee shots. They saw my twosome pull up before teeing off and we were behind them the entire time. Took them four holes to finally let us play through even though we were always right behind them waiting the entire time.
