Coronado Golf Course is as excellent place for golfers to work on their short game and it is also great for beginners. The course is relatively flat making it pleasantly walkable. The greens are large and the fairways are lined with trees, but still have generous landing areas. The holes are quite challenging with water hazards and bunkers coming into play. The relaxed atmosphere and affordability of the course have made it popular among locals, yet the course is still surprisingly not crowded most of the time. Coronado Golf Course has convenient practice facilities, including a lighted driving range that stays open until 9 every night.

One Word: Horrible

Wanted to take my wife out who is beginning to pick up the game and I hope I can erase this from her memory.

Coronado 9 is the worst condition golf course I have played in the valley. I understand its was the start of summer season, but there is no way it should have been this brutal. Do yourself a favour..........when your looking to play an executive course, head to Encanto, Aguila 9, Augusta Ranch or Rolling Hills. At least they have a maintenance staff!

And I have never heard of a course that only accepts cash?? Brutal

Great beginner course, great value

This course is great for someone like me who is learning and wants to play 9 holes. Great value. The course conditions need some TLC, but as a beginner I didn't mind at all.

Definitely a course for the very casual or beginner golfer.

This 9 hole executive length course takes ONLY cash, no credit cards. It is a no frills course. Not your daddy's country club, but it fills a golfing niche -- the beginner or very casual golfer. The greens and #1 & #9 par 4 fairways are in pretty good shape while #3 & #6 are not. No ball washers on the course. The big draw at this course is its driving range. It was completely full.

If need a walking practice 9 holes only

I enjoyed this course. I will start by saying that it has dry areas of hardpan dirt that you will either roll your ball through or have to hit out of during the round especially on the longer par 4 that does not have grass from tee to green. The actual greens are rolling nicely. This course is fun but can be disappointing if you're expecting grass from the tee box to the fairways to the greens. The range is great and can hit balls and chips at night.

The course was well kept except the fairways as some were brown and some green. Greens were nice and were quick and tee boxes well marked out. Enjoyable afternoon!

Great price, easy pace

The layout is a little tricky at the third hole but the staff try to explain it to me before hand when the website says the location is cash only they mean it if you book online through GolfNow it’ll accept credit cards but if you need anything else when you get there including adding a card or anything it would have to be cash on hand. But overall it was a great time.

Fun course to work on short fame

Easy, fun course with quick pace of play, and plenty of chances to work on your short game. Wife and I played nine holes in 1:20. Recommended for beginners but fun for a 15 handicap, too.

Great course to hone your short game

We were in town for one week and we chose this course to warm up for the more challenging courses ahead. This turned out to be a perfect plan.
While some of the fairways were a bit thin, the greens were in great shape. Testing out new clubs, and their performance around the greens was just what the doctor ordered.
The staff was extremely friendly, but be advised this is a cash only course. I highly recommend it for use as a practice round before a big game.

This title might be a bit harsh but this course is in really sad shape. All the greens have huge dead spots. There is no signage so you have no idea where to go to tee off or which way to hit the ball. The price was right for a course of this caliber. I'd recommend Continental, Encanto 9 Hole, or Mountain Shadows Short Course.

Fallen on Hard Times!

Played Coronado regularly in the 70's, 80's and 90's. It was a well maintained, simple course with just enough water and sand to add a little challenge. A great place to spend a couple relaxing hours My first visit back was a real shock. Aside from an odd and un-necessary redesign since i was last there, the course gets little to no maintenance beyond a basic mowing of the fairways. Huge bare spots on the greens, dead trees lying on the poorly watered fairways. No tee or directional markers. The good news is it's cheap...but it's not fun, challenging or relaxing.

Rough!

I played Coronado with my Dad and Brother (both gone now) almost weekly back in the 80’s, and was looking forward to a little nostalgia on my first trip back in more than 30 years. What a shock! CGC has really fallen on tough times. Greens, fairways and landscaping have obviously been neglected for many months….or years. I have such fond memories of times on this course, so hope it can be rehabilitated rather than succumb to commercial development. All that said….it IS cheap!
