Let’s start with the course….the back and front 9’s are completely different. I really enjoyed the back nine that rolled thru the oak covered hills with some great views of the SC valley. The front seemed to be laid out to accommodate home & townhouse views ($$$) and seemed like a different course. We bought a yardage book ($8) and it was worth it, several blind tee shots and approach shots along the way make it a must for first time players. Even with the book, we took a drive up several fairways to see where we were hitting. The course is fairly playable, fairways tended to be generous, water comes into play on only 2 holes, and the greens were not overly guarded with traps. The greens are the challenge on this course. They are large, multi-tiered, and fast with some tough reads (a playing partner putted one into the water hazard on #9, TWICE). Overall conditions were very good, what you would expect for a TPC course. Only complaint is that some of the fairways were a little thin in spots. Facilities were exceptional and rival private clubs (which is what this course will be in a short time). I played TPC complimentary of someone’s great gesture. So it was a truly a great experience, one that I would like to enjoy again. However, at $113 for a weekday round, I will NOT be back (>$140 on weekends). If the $$ is not an issue for you, than go play the course now. Our 4-some had the entire course to our selves, never waited for a shot and never held anyone up. Just not worth that price to me, I’ll head up the road to Robinson’s ranch and play, with coupons, at less than half the price.

This is the 3rd time I have played Coyote Hills in the last year. The course was in great shape. I was surprised how soft, but quick, the greens played. The surprised lasted the entire round, as evidenced by my number of putts. The course is tight and you do not need the driver on too many holes. However, if you can keep the drives straight, you will be looking at many PW's into the greens. Course conditions, with the exceptions ofthe tee boxes were great. Some of the tee's were not level and a tad bare. As far as value for the money, I only rated it a 50-50 because I had a 2-for-1 coupon. No way I would play at $90 on a Monday (non-holiday). I played Tierra Rejada and Robinsons Ranch over the last week, and no way-no how does this course deserve the higher green fee. Over all, a really good experience, but only with the coupons.

Enjoyed my round on the valley course last week so much, I came back to play a twi-light round on Sunday ($60 after 12:00 with coupons from golfq.com). The rains softened up the greens and slowed them down just a tad from what they were last week. Some long shots held that would have rolled through before the rains. Nothing changed from my comments made last week, an absolutely great course in a great setting, a must play. I did forget to mention something last week..... when I made the reservation, I was told that the range would be closed that morning for maintenance and was asked if I wanted another tee time after the range opened. Many courses would not offer up that info when the reservations are made.

I had to go out and play TR (first time) based upon the continued existance on the top-10 list. I would have to agree with all the prior comments. TR is in great shape. I just wish we could have dialed down the wind. Seemed like every down hill shot the wind was blowing behind us, which made for some great drives. Conversely...the wind seemed to be against us for every up hill shot. Let me add my 2 cents on #17...seemed so easy, but after my tee shot initially contacted the edge of the green within about 5 feet of the pin & then rolled into the trap it was all down hill. Ended up with a 6. I look forward to coming back to TR for the rematch with 17!!

Awesome!! Course is in great shape. I strongly agree with everything JohnnyGK reported a week back. Course is tough, but not unfair. RR claims they have the "fastest greens in the west", and I would have to agree. It was fun to play on greens so smooth and true. Played on Tuesday with coupons from www.golfq.com that allowed 2-somes to play for $85 total. There is not a better deal around!!

Had an 8:12 time Sunday morning. Showed up around 7:45 and noticed no one was on the course and lot's of cars heading out. Outside temp reading from the car was showing a balmy 47 degrees. Got to the starters window and there was a sign that said the course was closed because of "Frozen Greens" and would stay that way until at least 9:30am. Not a sign of frost any where and the practice greens were just fine. I understand the need to protect the integrity of the course and not to allow play when a signiifcant amount of damage can occur, BUT......it was close to 50 degrees!! Thumbs down to the crew at Hansen.

Got off Sunday morning at ~7:45 as a 3 some and finished 4 hours later. After the first hole, never had to wait and never held up the group behind us. Some greens still recovering from aeration, but over all in pretty good shape. A little wet from the night rains, but you really had to look to see any leaves on the ground. Kudos to the staff. It was a really great day. While some have complained about the rate increase, I can't complain about $28.50 for a weekend round!! When we finished 18, I did notice a stack of about 6 carts waiting to get off #1. Get out early and enjoy.

Great course to work out the kinks with the long clubs. I have not seen a muni with better fairways and greens than Olivas. The ball sat up nicely on every fairway and only the green on #11 showed any brown spots (and then, only in a few small areas). I look forward to playing again.

Went out to play a quick round at the local course Friday. Thought we could save some time by not taking the 30 minute drive to play some of the other nearby courses. Boy, was that a bad assumption!! The 5-somes and general slow pace of all the groups ahead of us made for a 5 hour round on a par 62 exec course. We had to wait on every shot until our tee shots on 18! To be fair, I did talk to some people that got out in the early morning and finished in 3.5 hours. The green fees are on the high side, $62 for 2 (with a cart). Course conditions were not the greatest. The greens are recovering nicely from heavy aeration 2 weeks ago. Give them another week or so and they should be pretty decent. Fairways were thin with many brown/bare spots. If you can get out early in the morning, this would be a nice place to play, if the conditions were to improve. There are some really tough par 3's and a 450 yard par 4 to a very small and guarded green.

Paid $22 to play twi-light which started at 2:00pm. Thought this was a great bargain. You must call 7 days in advance and early morning to get these twi-light times.
Course was in great shape, fairways, greens, and T-boxes were lush. Greens were fast and fairly firm. Can't imagine a better course for the money.
Sorry nishimu, but I was able to lose 1 ball as I pulled my drive on 17 into the stables.....

Played 8/30 for $65 with a "click4teetimes.com" discount. Had a 9:30 t-time, arrived at 9:00 and was told we could go out when ever we were ready. Not bad for a Sat morning. Did not see anyone until we caught up to a group on #7, the round slowed a little from that point, but we still finished in 4.5 hours. I enjoyed this course. Over all it was in good condition. My biggest complaint is with the idiots that leave huge ball marks on the greens. I have never seen a course with so many large unrepaired ball marks, does not speak well for the regular crowds that play at this nice track. Minor complaints for the course centered on two areas; (1) the tee boxes need some work to bring them up to speed with the rest of the course, and (2) on the rare occasion when I sink a great putt I like to hear the sweet "thunk" of the ball hitting the bottom of the cup, but on a few holes I was meet with a "TING" (much link the sound of kicking one of those old aluminum trash cans) because of the metal plates at the bottom of the cup. Not a good effect for the purists..... I would recommend this track to anyone. It is pretty easy to get a discounted round at the last minute using "click4teetimes.com".

Played a little slow (4:40) with a 7:50 tee time. Fairways and tee boxes were in great shape, as were the greens. The greens seemed to be a little firmer and faster than usual. Bumped and ran a 50 yard pitch (with a nice smoothly lofted shot) that bounced in front of #16, slowly rolled onto the green, and continued to roll up hill to the back of the green, and over the back lip. Could not believe my eyes! Great course for the money.
