5 reviews for Coyote Creek Golf Club
A great great golf course. It's off the freeway, but we did not notice much from the course we were playing on. It's in amazing condition, great greens and fairways. The view is just gorgeous. It is a slightly challenging course when compared to muni courses.
Price, expect to shell out a nice chunk of change: $100+ per person on the weekend. Cart is mandatory. Was great on the company account back in the day. Do not know if I would shell out my own pocket. Not that much nicer than some muni courses.
By far, the best driving range though. Real grass, so bring your own tees. My absolute favorite, pity it's so far away. Highly recommend the driving range for some real practice, try the course maybe once at your own discretion.
Looking to play 18, 36, or, dare I say, 54 holes in a day? Coyote Creek is the ideal place. Two 18-hole courses, the Tournament and Valley, keep things interesting and their weekday "$99 for All you can Play and Eat" keeps costs reasonable (check the website for coupon!).
TOURNAMENT: In my opinion, this course is the more interesting of the two. After the first hole, it passes under Highway 101 where you play 7 of the best holes at Coyote Creek. After that, you return to the other side of 101 to finish with 17, which has a 'peninsula' green, and 18, which is their signature hole. Some shot making is necessary to score well on this course.
VALLEY: This course is long from the tips (7,000+ yards!), but if you keep it straight, you'll have relatively little difficulty. The land is flat and most holes are straight down the middle. As I said, not as interesting as Tournament.
Overall, Coyote Creek is in excellent shape. The course is well maintained with fast greens. The buildings and facilities are clean and modern. The staff, including those in the restaurant, were extremely congenial and helpful -- almost out of their way.
Can't wait to go back!
I could not agree more with Peter J.'s review. The "$99 - All you can Play and Eat" deal is the best thing going in Bay Area golf. I have managed to crank out an excruciating 54 holes, albeit the last few holes in the dark. I'm looking forward to doing it again this year.
Tournament Course: Again, read Peter J.'s description. It's the newer course of the two.
Valley Course: This is the one disappointment about the course. For those longtime residents of the Bay Area, this is actually the old Riverside golf course. Oddly enough, the holes have changed very little, but the order turns into a Laurel & Hardy routine as you race back and forth from one green to the next tee. As in the old days, it's still very flat and fairly wide open. Definitely the easier of the two, but not worth the steep prices. (When it was Riverside Golf Course, it was a whopping $12 for 18 holes.)
They have wonderful facilities, great food, a fine selection of beers and a decent pro shop. The Club House is in great condition and if you want to pretend you are a member at a country club, they do have a dirt-cheap Members program.
They have a LOT of tournaments during the year, and it can sometimes be difficult to get a tee time during the Summer. Be prepared to tee off EARLY!
WARNING: Don't show up in denim! The Pro Shop attendants will read you the riot act! Regardless of the fact that this is a public course, there is a dress code.
The place just didn't impress me. It's a nice golf course and all, but it's in the middle of nowhere next to a freeway. When I'm playing golf I don't want to see cars rushing by.
mmmm golf.. i love golf.
there are actually 2 courses here. the valley side and tournament side. i have only played the tournament side because it looks more interesting. its a Jack Nicklaus designed course so you cant go wrong. its usually not that crowded or at least the times ive gone and the greens are groomed pretty well. the golf carts have gps in them and tell you how far away you are to the pin so you arent guessing or asking ur friends how far away you are. one of the better courses ive played at. i definitely want to go again.
