Coyote Creek Golf Club - The Valley Course

Valley course is fun to play. Wide open and not too difficult. Practice area is the best I’ve seen in the area. Will definitely be back

I haven't played here in years, the standard rate is above my pay grade but after two weeks of wet weather I had to get out there and swing the sticks. Played as a single with two pals, and we slogged through the round in similar fashion. Oh Boy!

No warning from course or web site about heavily sanded greens. Very dissatisfied.

Cart service personnel is missing.

Everything food wise shuts down after 4 basically.

The place is more packed then before Covid and they charge more so not sure why they can’t have minimal staff to serve late lunch or early dinner, or have a cart going around like they used to.

After a long round everyone tugs on the dinning room doors and they’re done for the day.

An average 18 round takes 6 hours. This is the spot to learn the game if you have money and NEVER have golfed before. Thanks goodness you have brand new PXGs and head covers for all your clubs.

It feels like they’re making the same amount of money, probably more so why keep the dining room open after 4 with less customer service.

They’re in desperate need to help them understand that the dining room and food/beverage service on the course can actually be profitable if they weren’t being so cheap.

I’ve been stuck behind one of the owners before on the tourney course and the Marshall told me, yea… that’s one of the owners so we’re not pressuring them on playing faster.

Get your stif together and start worrying about paying customers.

Other than that, great track

My second time out at this course. The highlight again was the greens. They are fast and true and require calculated approach shots if you want to stay on the green.

From the very first hole, my group of two golfers was held up by the groups ahead. A pair of father/son combos where the dad’s weren’t playing but rather they were instructing their sons. In my experience, this is the absolute slowest group you can get stuck behind. What was weird is that there were more than a couple of these groups spread throughout the course. I have nothing against teaching or learning. I have everything against the opening hole taking them, literally, 28 minutes. We played through them on the 2nd hole Nehrer getting caught behind another group on the 5th. It was really, really, slow.

One area to improve is the snack shack never has food until after 9A making us disappointing for early golfers who need food.

Both courses are good and conditions are usually very good. Well designed, greens are good, and practice facilities are good.

Don't get me wrong, Coyote Creek is a great facility, but I do have a few suggestions. Range balls are pricey and are quite old. Also, the greenside bunkers are rock hard. In my opinion, it is ok for fairway bunkers to be rock hard, but greenside bunkers should have loose sand. I wish golf courses would find a way chop up the rock hard bunkers so they have some loose sand.

Bunkers need help it’s like hitting off of concrete

I really enjoyed playing this course, nice layout, course was in very good condition, staff was nice and very helpful. I like the GPS on cart and the fairways and greens were very nice. Two problems I can see are the abundance of ground squirrels and the pace of play was excruciatingly long. They do however have a nice beer selection at the snack shack. All in all I give Coyote Creek a thumbs up.
