Long and repetitive

I've driven by the valley course dozens of times and finally played. Got a great rate through GolfNow. We played as a twosome and had a very fun day. I am a 10 index and found the course long and a bit repetitive. My second shot to many of the holes, from the white tees, was close to or over 200 yards. The greens were interesting and in very nice condition. Many of the holes looked like many of the holes. There were maybe 6 or so with individuality. Brand new white sand that makes bunker play very good, and provides visual interest. There are a couple of forced carries for long second shots that were layups for me.

Valley Course in Great Condition

Everything from the grass driving range, customer service at Pro Shop, Starters and Marshall and the food was excellent. I especially like this course for a fast pace of play and condition of fairway and greens. High, thick grass in the rough makes things challenging along with the bunker placement. The course if not too difficult but not too easy. In addition, the course has easy access from Hwy 101.

In shape, bad bunkers, getting an overhaul soon...

I loved the tournament course which I somehow ended up on that course by accident. Ended up paired with Sam, a 2 handicap which was good fun and two ladies joined us after ten holes and we finished 18 with them. Not bad for a 20 dollar hot deal/ with a cart.

I had fun playing this course from the black tees, as it presented challenging shots and risk/rewards on every hole, with a few chances to get home on the par fives, and lots of driver holes.

Bunkers need work and it really derailed my round every time I got in a bunker because I would blade it out.They are really hardpan bunkers...just chip it out I guess until the renovation.

Hot dog at turn is convenient and was good and a big beer was refreshing at around 12 dollars total before tip.
Course in wonderful shape other than bunkers.
Highway traffic is sometime annoying so I thought that course could plan more trees blocking highway noise.
I'll be back.

Added Challenge

It was very windy the day I played, this added an extra level of difficulty to most of the holes. Course has some very interesting holes, rough and traps need some attention. Overall it was an enjoyable day of golf.

Be careful and pack a lunch

Plays smoothly but the only problem we had was when we got to the turn all the food was practically gone which I would view as poor ordering processes or poor food management. Also you had to be careful with the ground that was not fairway due to numerous ground under repair. Do not use a yellow ball even though its great from the fairway it truly was hard to find as the ground and some rough was yellow also.

saved the day

My playing companions driver came apart on the course. The marshall was approached with a request to help us out. He came back with a brand new Taylormade R15. My buddy handed him his ID and we got to finish the round. That's what I call great service.

Nice course with well maintained greens and fairways

This is a well maintained course. Best for beginners and high handicapped players as the course is flat and wide, but still challenging enough for intermediate level players.

Scenic by Foothills

It's off season but Coyotee is a good challeng for an experience player. It brings ball positioning and thought processing I to play. I am expecting friends to visit and I will show them one of the better courses in San Jose !

Not Bad

I've played other courses in the area that were more challenging . This course is for the most part flat with little in the way of hazards. The condition of the course was good, the greens were in very good shape and pretty fast, the way I like them, and somewhat consistent. I played 36 holes, in the morning round the pace of play was excellent. The afternoon round pace of play was poor. I didn't see one marshal after the 5th hole. We had a foursome in front of us that held up the whole course, at least 3 holes behind

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.
