Solid Course

Challenging layout, with plenty of water. Course conditions were just average, which is expected this time of year. Will definitely come back. Our starter on the Forest course was extremely friendly and made our experience enjoyable.

NEW SAND IN BUNKERS

ALWAYS LIKED THE LAYOUT AND GREENS, BUT THE BUNKERS WERE BELOW AVERAGE. NOT ANYMORE. THE NEW SAND IS OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY AND REALLY IMPROVES THE OVERALL EXPERIENCE. OUTSTANDING IMPROVEMENT.

Slow play

Course conditions were just ok. Very spotty in the fairway.. Greens were in decent shape. Don’t understand why it takes 5 1/2 hours to play. Waited almost 20 minutes (3 groups) at the turn. Pace needs to be monitored and enforced. Challenging yet fun layout.

This is a fun, yet demanding layout. The large undulating greens wreak havoc on your short game. Overall, an enjoyable experience.

Challenging and Beautiful layout.

The course offers a good challenge to a variety of golfers by using the various tees. When there was a backup, i enjoyed the beautiful surroundings. When play did slow down, a Marshall did come out to try and help. Much appreciated.

Nice layout

The layout is great and the staff is outstanding. But the sand traps are the worst I've ever seen. It's like somebody just dumped a load of sand in the bunkers. Way too fine and soft. Some fairway bunkers had no sand in them. I don't understand how such a great course could have such awful bunkers. Please fix.

Less than expected

I was expecting something on par with the Tournament Course. But it was a significant step down. Will return to play the Tournament course; but not the Valley.

It's too bad you didn't enjoy the Valley side of Coyote Creek, but we're glad you have enjoyed playing the Tournament Course! Thank you for trying both sides of our course.

Challenging Layout

The first time I played this course, the round was 5 1/2 hours. This time the course was wide open and I played in under 3. Challenging layout, with good sand trap quality. greens rolled true. Will definitely go back.

Interesting Layout

Fun layout that called for a variety of shots. Course plays longer than the yardage due to elevation changes. Fast greens. Must be on the correct side. Will definitely play again.

Not only was the round extremely slow (5:45), but the conditions were not good. The greens hadn't been cut and were extremely slow.

We are sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars. We are currently looking into any pace of play or maintenance issues at the course. As we continue to transition into our cooler fall months we hope you'll give us another try in the near future.

underwhelmed

i had played this course in the past, and although not a huge fan of the layout, was always impressed with the course conditions. Unfortunately it has not been kept up. The bunkers were rock hard and nearly unplayable. The greens had ball marks all over and were in poor shape. Im disappointed they let the course go.

4 hour round

I had an enjoyable afternoon round last weekend. Played in 4 hours, which is unusual for weekend afternoons. Several of the greens need to be reworked as they take the skill out of the game. A 10 foot putt should not break 15 feet. At times it felt like miniature golf, but for the windmill. But the layout is good and worth playing again.

Challenging Course

This course requires you to have a plan. There are certain places you can not miss. Staggering the tee-times 10 minutes apart made for outstanding pace of play. Greens are true and fair. A wonderful upscale golf experience at a reasonable price.
