Coyote (tournament) is a nice course. Interesting layout with lots of challenges. Tee selection is important as there are lots of carry overs so shot selection is key. Take a few plays to really understand the course. Take food and drink with you and the on course options are very limited and it get hot in the summer.

Shoreline is well past its prime, The course is very tired, Fairways are rock hard and almost no definition between the rough and the fairway so getting any sense of where to play the ball is lost. The squirrels define the rough more than anything. Greens have lots of undulatons and are in ok shape compared to the fairways. Pace was slow, our group waited on every hole and finished in 5 hours. For a course that is not particularly long or difficult was a slog. Played her several times but this is the last.

The Valley course is a straightforward up and back course that is well maintained with greens that are challenging but fair. Big practice facility. Tournament course is much harder but fun when up to the challenge

Wente is a roly poly layout with lots of undulations and a few deep drops to keep it interesting. Plays longer than the tees due to the wind kicking up in the afternoons. Fairways are in excellent shape. Greens were heavily sanded so hard to tell what was going on there. Not a lot of water but a little tight so bring some extra balls.

Enjoyable course with some undulations and several dog legs that forced a think about how to play the hole. Not a bomb it every hole and wedge in kind of place. Greens are in decent shape for winter. Some tight fairways but reasonable for the average golfer. Course is tracked through a housing development but the houses are set far back from the course so not in play for errant shots.

Plan a few minutes ahead as the tee box is a long way from the clubhouse. Driving range is very close to first tee. Highly recommend the breakfast burrito begore the round. Most excellent!

Would play again.

Overall layout is good. Challenging without being a killer. Lots of ups and downs with some forced carrys so no need to overpower the course. Greens are fast and roll fast so that can make for a long round. Don’t expect to play a speed
Round, Not that kind of course

Course is one of those weird layouts where they shoehorn a course in a canyon and try to make it work. Some holes are in decent shape but many are pretty beat up. Same for greens. Lots are pockmarked with some sort of blight. Very inconsistent speed of greens across the course. Signage is terrible so for first time players spent a lot of time trying to find the way to go. Price is high (cart is mandatory due to hills) so green fees + 30$ cart rental makes the value pretty low.

Los Lagos is a suitable muni with decent tees and challenging greens. The short layout should be fun but the pace of play drags the whole experience down. Played here several times and 5 hour rounds for a par 68 are common.

Tilden is a study in extremes. Almost every hole is a steep uphill or steep downhill. Not terribly long but requires some precision to keep out of the trees and lined up for the green. Played during a light mist and the course was extremely muddy so better to wait for spring or at least not after a rain. Did I mention muddy? Interesting layout and depending on the tee can be a test for anyone.

Eagle ridge is undergoing some changes. Many of the sand traps are getting removed so lots of sand ground under repair but course is very playable. Greens and fairways are in great shape and layout is challenging. ER had way way too much sand before so the end result looks promising. Had a good time and would play again

Spring Valley is a nice and well laid out course for any golfer. Not terribly challenging but has some tester holes to keep you honest. The greens are in good shape and overall well maintained. Not for the expert golfer but is great for an afternoon of golf.

Nice layout with several sets but not a course for beginners. Fairways are well maintained. Greens are very fast and firm, maybe a little too fast. Can get windy but overall a great course

Seascape is a nice layout. Yardage is short but elevation changes and sea air make it play a little long. Par 3 are particularly challenging. Fairways are generous but rough is long enough to punish if you go off track. Greens are fast so hot the practice green. Great weather when valley is roasting. Traffic from Santa Clara valley can be bad so time is to avoid beach traffic. Good track with great pace of play.

Spring valley has a generous layout that won’t beat you up on a casual round. Has a little roll to it in places but prettty flat. Fairway and greens are in good shape. Pace of play was good for weekend in Bay Area

Newish course close to downtown Palm Springs so very convenient if staying in Palm Springs. Course is laid out well and very well maintained. Greens are fast but true. A lot of undulations so hit the practice green. Staff is friendly without being oppressive. "Range" is a net so only good for warm ups, My only gripe is there is no snack bar so no food during the round. I would play again.
