Always a fun challenge

The Valley course, albeit the lesser challenge of the two courses, is always a fun challenging round of golf. This round was particularly so as I was paired with a couple of "talkers" (no fault of the course staff).

The course was in great shape, as usual. The greens were firm and moderately fast. I played the back tees today (~7000 yards) and really enjoyed it.

A Fair Challenge

The Valley Course provides a fair challenge to golfers of all skill levels. The course has some difficult driving holes and many sand protected greens, but rewards good shots. The course is in great condition and the greens run smooth.

for the price they should have sand in their bunkers

The course is very good, the greens are fast and true.The only downfall are the bunkers. You think at$70 a round they would have nice sand around the greens.The sand is like dirt, one inch below is clay. I hope they address this issue soon so I can comeback soon.

arnold for the value

Considering the other exceptional courses in the area this course is underkeot and over priced. Though I enjoy each unique hole I was unimpressed with the slow greens and ignorant grounds staff.

The only complaint

The only complaint I have are the ball washers are put at the ladies tee's so it's a walk each time you want to wash your balls....it's well watered, so your ball gets muddy..... I drive the ball far and a clean ball it necessary...... I water is cold to drink and that's nice. Great job

Greg

Everything was in great shape. The greens had been recently sande so they were not perfect but still nice. The only complaint I had was the bunkers are too heavy sanded and too many rocks in them.

Needs some TLC

It appears they have fired their grounds keeper. The condition of the course is not great. It's beginning to look like an average muni.

Solid parkland course

I enjoyed the course. It reminds one of an old style parkland course with lots of trees and short green to next tee distances. It plays long for it's yardage , especially from the back tees. There is plenty of room to think your way around the course. Great practice facility. The only drawback I found was the Poa annua greens were a bit inconsistent but then that is the nature of that grass, especially at the end of the day when there has been lots of steps around the hole.

Always loved this course

First time to play the Valley course since it was revamped. It was in great shape. My only comment is that some of the "next hole" signs were a little confusing. We spent some extra time trying to figure out where to go next.

A good course worth the money

The roll of the ball was very true on the greens.

Good course sometimes forgiving, but you better have a good feel with your putter. Study the greens well on this course. Nice when you see your ball rolling nice and true on the greens.

Hurricane conditions

This course is fun but the wind after 10 am is brutal and they day after a storm is the worst ever. Sideways winds pushed the ball 30-40 yards offline.

Not the first time.

Love both courses at Coyote Creek. We played the Valley Course since the aerification was already done and the greens had time to fill in. Course was in good shape as always. We would have played the Tournament course but they were did aerification earlier in the week. These two courses are always a blast to play...except when it's real windy. It makes the course 10x harder!

Aerated greens and poor conditions

Course neglected to mention that the greens had been aerated recently so there were slits on all of the greens that made putting very inconsistent. The overall condition of the course is not very good, its in need of a lot maintenance especially on the green fringes that were so bad they look they are part of the rough.

Coyote Valley Golf Course

The Valley Golf course is very fair and provides a good test of your golf game. At the same time it is fun. The weather was perfect, but don't forget your sun block. We made it around in about 4.5 hours.

Putting at the beach

Tee to green the course was good, but golf now failed to say that the greens had recently been punched which made greens worthless. Something should be put on the web sight saying these things.

Second Visit

As a business visitor I find Coyote Creek very convenient. Just a quick hop south from San Jose. I always seem to get paired up with enjoyable players of good level. Played Valley Course and front nine on the Tournament Course. Previous visit played Tournament Course. TC is more challenging and during my visit the VC greens were punched, but I still had a great time. The views from this course are lovely, esp. from the Tournament Course on the other side of the freeway, up on the hill.
