Great course, terribly slow play.
Course was in fantastic shape but I was only able to finish 14 holes through 4 hours when darkness hit. The on course ranger made it a point to tell the last several groups we should go in on the 12th and 13th holes despite not trying to speed along anyone in the group last ahead.
Everything else was great but I wouldn’t tee off in the afternoon as it gets really backed up.
Slow Play and Poor conditions
4 of us were on a research trip to evaluate golf courses for our club as travel destinations. Its 4 hours from our location to Truckee/Reno. While the course is picturesque and the staff friendly, we were very dissappointed to find that half of the fairways were being aireated, leaving huge plugs all over the fairways. It was nearly impossible to hit a fairway shot due to the plugs all over the fairways. Also, the pace of play was very slow. We allowed a 2 some to pass us on 9, caught up with them on 13 as they were waiting for the group ahead. The Marshall came by and asked us if we knew why the people 2 groups ahead were playing so slow--isn't that his job? We had hoped to finish 18 in under 4.5 hours, but decided to leave after 16 after almost 4.5 hours and we had a 4 hour drive ahead. Maybe this isn't the norm for the course, but we played 2 other courses around the Lake and had much better experiences.
4 hrs and 50 min - REALLY!?!???
This is an extremely difficult golf course. Very narrow and if you don't know the layout - buy a course guide in the pro shop cuz there's no gps on the carts!
Yes you read that right - 4 hrs and 50 min to play today. Awful and unacceptable.
But - I'll be back. It's too good of a track to NOT play.
Nice course
The course was great. But I left my wifi device in the cart and didn't get it back.
Outrageously difficult greens
First time playing and I don't think I'll play here again. Definitely not for beginners. The severity of the undulation on the greens was astonishing, and for me, just too much. On the practice green I said to myself "there's no way it will be like this on the course," and I was wrong. Uphill putts were rolling back to my feet and barely struck down hill putts were flying off the green. Course is gorgeous. Greens were in great shape, they are just insane and makes it really difficult to score. 18th green (waving tiers on an elevated green) is straight up mickey mouse.
Also had an almost a 30 minute wait on one hole, #13, a severe downhill par 3. Am employee was even there to marshall and it still was a huge wait. This seems like it should be a 3:30 course and it took 5 hours to play. Design is funky, trying to utilize the landscape but in some cases just made weird holes to play.
If you're in the area and are going to be paying this much to golf I would suggest Old Greenwood or Gray's Crossing instead.
The course fairways were in great shape but the greens were just ok. The guys in the pro shop were kinda rude. The starter was excellent and so was the snack bar hostess. There was no cart service on the course, so it was just an ok experience
great round with friends
Manage to play here a couple of times each season. Started at 8:30 and the 4 of us finished in 3hrs and 50 min. The greens were in great condition and always very challenging. The tee boxes and fairways were in excellent shape as well. Employees we encountered on course were very friendly. I always tell people who want to play a nice course in the Tahoe Truckee area you can't go wrong with Coyote Moon, a beautiful mountain golf experience with not a home in sight. Always enjoy seeing the wild life here.
Great golf
Great golf course with well manicured bent grass greens.
Coyote Moon golf course in Truckee, CA
Love this course! Challenging, but I always score exceedingly well here. Saw two healthy looking coyotes and a handful of deer. Oh, and a tree on hole 2 that got hit by lightening!
Very picturesque
One of the prettiest and diverse courses. Greens are very challenging. If you are lucky you may see a few handsome bucks locking antlers in play
Perfect
The staff was amazing an the course was even better.. definitely playing again asap
Really Nice Course
This is the second time I have played this course. The first time was a couple of years ago was a 1-2 star rating as the personnel (especially the course marshall's) wrecked the experience. No one seemed to appreciate guest golfers.
However, this time they seemed to have learned from other past player's comments as it was a very pleasurable experience. The staff was welcoming and friendly from start to finish and the course was in excellent condition. Only once did we have to ask the Marshall to stop following so close (we were on schedule). He did.
The epitome of mountain golf
The most unique course I’ve ever played. Went in expecting mountain golf... got so much more than expected. By the time I left I felt like i returned from an incredible backpacking journey. Played Edgewood a few days before and in my opinion Coyote Moon takes the cake due to how incredible it is that they were able to create a golf course in the mountainous terrain. Will certainly go back next year.
