This course is worth playing at price offered dispite heavy winds.

The course was in good condition overall. The greens were in excellent condition with the fairways good and the tees in fair shape. Great bargain at the price offered.

Valley Course = Fun Times

Played the valley course for the first time. I'm a pretty high index player and I thought it was challenging enough. Greens are fast but fair. The course is next to 101 but still fun. I'm going back and maybe break 90.

Well maintained, 18 hole pace of play is just right.

Well designed (although the layout is a little bit confusing to first-timers), well maintained course (although some fairways are too wet), greens are OK. Love the cart with the GPS and scorecard.

Great course to play. Sevice was great and fairways and greens are kept up very well. I recommend it to anyone who has not played there.

Great for a Relaxing Sunday afternoon

Wide fairways, challenging well bunkered greens, abundant wild life, great scenery, ok condition, so-so rental sets. But good for practicing all your shots during a relaxing round. I'd play it again.

I was surprised to see a $70 rate to play Coyote Creeks valley course for $70 on a Saturday. Much to my surprise when after the golf shop ran my credit card, he asked if I knew the greens had just been aerated. I assumed I overlooked the message when booking the course. Today I checked and could not believe the aeration message on Golf Now was not more prominent. This is easily overlooked by most people booking a golf tee time. Many people including myself will not play an aerated course, no matter what the price. $70 down the drain.

Coyote Creek is in great shape to play on. The afternoon winds makes the Valley Course a great challenge.

Flat/ long/ can use some better maintenance. High end price with muni conditions. Better value elsewhere.

Coyote Creek is one of the newer properties and is being marketed as a premium golf course. However, valley course is pretty flat, open and straight. You can shoot 4-5 shots under your handicap. No single signature hole. They all look same. Fairway has weed spots. Tee boxes are quite littered. Greens are good though.

Course is good; amenities are OK

Course is wide open (not too much trouble) and was windy in the afternoon. Pace of play was good for a Sunday afternoon, course was in good condition. Drawbacks: used the electronic scorekeeper on the cart and lost the scores from the first 9. Not sure what happened; but, the front 9 scorecard was erased. Snack bar was not ready with available food. One of the courses was shut down to host a wedding (!!!). Personally, I would hope a golf course would serve golfers first and wedding/events second...not the case for this course.

weird layout

There are two courses intertwined between each other. Sometimes you end up on the wrong hole because it's the other course. They force you to use carts on the weekend. The snack shack after 9 holes was shut by 4pm. We finished out round at 6pm on Sunday but apparently that's too late to get a beer and the bar and restaurant was already closed. I don't think I'll play this course again. Seems to be a poorly managed course. Not sure why Jack put his name on this badly managed outfit.

old reliable

This has always been a fun track to play. Can be longish, always windy, always in pretty good shape. Been playin here along time, even before when it used to be called Riverside. This course will teach you how important the tee shots is!!

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.
