Swing Away

We played the old Riverside course now called the Valley course at Coyote Creek. Wide fairways make this a fun course if you want to swing your driver on everything but the par 3's. This is a well maintained course operated by a competent staff. New fast carts with an easy to use GPS help speed up play. Most of the greens were well maintained and relatively fast with some undulation. Great place to play. Course was open in front and behind us so we could play at our own pace. Nice place to have a beer after the round as well.

Great course, but could use marshals to control pace of play

Terrific course in fantastic condition. Played 36 that day so had a chance to experience both the Valley & Tournament courses. Valley was great, but play bottled up at the turn and it was a painfully slow back nine. Did not see a marshal on the course, so it was particularly frustrating watching the slow group ahead of us. Outside of that, great experience and a big fan of the courses.

Great course, friendly staff. Outstanding condition.

I have seen this course for the last 30 years and for some reason never played the Valley course. I've played the Tournament course and was underwhelmed.
The Valley is in wonderful condition, I used every club in my bag, played with my wife who also enjoyed the course.

The course is challenging

Course is good but fairway is soft in some area.

Yardage mark seems not enough, have difficult to find the yardage, but the GPS of the cart is very useful and helpful.

The office closed too early, have difficult to get into the rest room after six pm. Drinking water provided is very thoughtful. Overall , a pretty nice course worth to play more often.

Good Jack Nickalus designed courses.

There are 2 courses The Valley and The Tournament.
The Valley course is mostly flat and less challenging the The Tournament course which has some uphill and downhill holes.
Somewhat expensive compared to other courses but typically not crowded as a result. Can be windy in afternoons.

Simple but challenging layout

Nice layout, requires a control on your driver to avoid the fairway bunkers which can hinder your score, otherwise a straight firward course. Nice rolling greens.

Very nice!

I played here twice this week, both courses, enjoyed them both, the tournament course was the moderately more difficult of the two. Very good practice facilities, chipping areas, putting as well as sand. Carts had the latest GPS technology. Looking forward to playing again next time I'm out this way.

Great bang for your buck

Nice pace of play, only took 3 1/2 hours for a friend and I to complete 18 holes with a cart. $40 w/cart that has gps is a nice deal.

excellent course for the avg golfers;

This is a beautiful course and excellent by design for the avg golfers. Typically expensive for tee time unless there is a special deal offered.

Course was well-maintained; fairways wide open and greens were well-kept but was slower than anticipated.

4 out of 5 stars only because there was only 1 beverage cart available our entire Sunday afternoon round.

Good course, but sand traps were horrible.

The Coyote Valley course plays long and very challenging, especially when playing the white (6550 yard tees) this time of the year in the 20 to 30 mph wind, this makes many of the par 4 holes unreachable in regulation for the medium distance hitters.

The real problem was the really crummy condition of the sand traps. They are almost all wet (even late in the evening) contain dirt, rocks, and almost no sand. They play more like hitting out of soft hardpan. A golf course that charges this much money for golf should have pristine conditions for the entire course, not just the tee boxes, fairways & greens. Putting sand rakes into the trap's was a real joke, it was nearly impossible to rake anything but the huge glob of clay and rocks you just dislodged from the trap you hit out of.

The greens were in excellent shape, fast & smooth and if you can read them, putting very true.

Course was in great condition and the staff was very friendly. Excellent value for $40 (cart was included)!

I really like this course, excellent club house and practice facilities. The cool thing was, while on the 18th green a young man was cleaning our clubs, nice way to end our day! First time any course has done this, gave a small tip and thanked him for the special attention.

Nice course, but skip the dining room!

Played early on a Saturday morning, golf shop and starter were very nice. Couse was in fine condition, although it looks like the previous days golfers did not know how to fix ball marks on the greens. Carts could have used seed/sand mixture to fix divots.

All in all, very good golf experience. but don't eat in the dining room.

This was my second trip to the dining room, First was horrible, slow, unfriendly wait staff, mediocre food, and 20 bucks each for lunch? My second trip was quick, we did not get greeted or seated, we chose a table near the bar that had not been cleaned yet, three other tables surrounding us were dirty. Sat there for 10 minutes, without seeing any wait staff and there was only 12 customers in the place. We left without eating and drove up the road to have lunch.

I will certainly golf at CC again, but wont even walk in the restaurant.

One of the best courses in the South Bay.

We played the Valley course. Staff were very friendly. The course was in excellent condition. Even in the morning the wind blows here, which makes club selection and picking you target a challenge. We enjoyed our round.

Fun course but windy

Had a good time on the Valley course. Fairways were generous for the most part and, in general, the course was well maintained. I played in the afternoon and there was a steady 15 mph NW wind that gusted much higher at times, making it difficult, of course, for club selection and picking targets. All in all, I will play there again.

Good value for your money. They don't pack them in like our courses in the bay area. Greens always in good condition.
