I rated my experience a 3 star this time due to various little things which made it a frustrating round. I was the first one off on the Blue course. There was an older couple behind me that would not play through when I offered it to them, but kept on my heels so much that I skipped 2 par 3's to try to create some space between us. The bad part is that I was on pace for an under 3hr round on my own! SMH Next was the grounds crew! They usually would stop their mowers or movements for golfers shots, but not on this day!! The only one who did stop was the young person who was setting up the greens. I'll never book early again if thats how it is.

The course was in terrible shape. Fairways were yellow, rough was so high that all four players had to search for any balls that were hit in it. The greens were probably the worst I’ve played in my 20 years living in Arizona.

On the plus side, the driving range had grass!

We had a frost delay, which happens this time of year. It caused some slow play, but opened up some on back 9. It’s a deal for this time of year when a lot of raggedy courses are charging over $100 per round. The fairways were ok but anything off the fairway can be a bad deal. The greens were chewed up and patched with sand and spray paint.

If I had to complain about anything, it would only be that the locals randomly drive onto the course and start jumping in on holes. Other than that, the fairways were ok and the greens were great. POP was great.

Nice challenging short course. No Marshall to regulate pace of play. Too many hole jumpers. Happened too many times. Greens we’re in great shape, but no one fixes their pitch marks and there were way too many people playing from the Blue/white tee boxes and only hit the ball 50 yards. Should’ve been on the reds.

Greens are bad. They’re chewed up and patchy. Fairways are the same. Pace of play was 20 min or so per hole! I don’t recommend this course to anyone!

When checking in, the guy at the pro shop told me that they had changed the rates and it was now double of what I booked it for. I told him that if they cannot honor my reservation then I would just leave. After some discussion, I asked for a cart, because my coworker whom I was playing with is slightly disabled. I was told it would be $32 per person riding in the cart. My coworker decided that he would be ok to walk it since it was only 9 holes. The fairways were chewed up! The grounds crew kept watering the greens even when people were trying to put or chip on to the green. The grounds crew showed zero courtesy to golfers teeing off or playing from the fairways. The guy in the drink/snack caret was very friendly & funny. He was the main reason I gave the staff 4 stars.

Coyote Creek Golf Club’s Tournament Course is probably one of the better courses ive seen since I’ve been here in the San Jose area. The layout was great. The fairways were in great shape. The staff was great. BUT, the driving range was overrun, so those of us who paid to play the course could not even warm up! Then there was the golf cart management! There were no carts available, so we had to stand around waiting right up to our tee time! Golf cart management was bad. I saw non staff members just driving around the parking lot trying to charge people for rides. There were 3 people on one cart and I heard the staff talk about how there are a few dead on the course! I understand not being able to buy new carts, so buy extra batteries!!! Charge them so you can swap and go! Then the pace of play! We were not even able to get 9 in. The people in front of us sucked worse the me. Some just jaw jacking, others taking forever to look for a ball. Maybe only allow handicaps 12 to 15 or less on the tournament course! The guys paired with us we so bad, they never made it off the tee box on any hole. No one repaired ball marks on the greens so it ruined what looked like pretty good looking and fast greens! Well, I hope they read this. Some small changes and they get a 5 star from me!

If you’re a nature lover, it’s a great place to go and take pics of the wildlife. As far as golf goes, the course is in poor condition and the greens were sanded. If they advertised that, I never would’ve booked it. There were also groups of kids (6-7 per group) playing and being loud. Had a twosome in front of me who were blasting their music. I don’t recommend this place for a competitive golfer, but I would definitely recommend it for kids and beginners.

Driving range, Staff, bar, sand chipping range are all great. The course is terrible!! The greens are all chopped up and dead. Several of the lights didn’t work, so what’s the point of night golf? If you just need a driving range after dark, go here. Don’t waste your money playing their course.

I understand it was a historical course , BUT being that, the upkeep on it is not one of such. The tee boxes were terrible and some holes, you couldn't tell the fairway from the rough. Also there is no driving range or real warm up area. If asked to play there again, I'd probably pass on it!
