Played Sunday morning, arrived at starter 5 minutes before my tee time but they were running 30 min ahead so I got out as a single which was great. Thanks to all those folks with good etiquette who allowed me to push through but those who didn't, it became a bit frustrating. As for the course, conditions are coming around nicely. Greens have fully recovered now and rolling true. Fairways still dry at parts but they are working on them. Several holes still cart path only at this point. Customer service, as always, is excellent. As I have posted many times before, a great track and, with the OC Trails Card 30% off, a great value by OC standards.

Played Tuesday 17th,tourny,free. Only in Orange County would they pay $90 during the week for a 5600 yd course that plays shorter due to elevated tees and doglegs. Granted it is in terrific shape, but come on !!!! If ya cant score here ya might as well give up the game. Its way overpriced, way too short,way too much into itself. As I said, its in great shape, staff is wonderful,but,, hitting hybrids every other hole off the tee is a joke. Played the blues due to tourny rules. OK,, I wont be paying my $$ for this, but I am sure some OC folks will and think they are getting a good deal. Good for them. I would pay half once in awhile,, no more. Too many options within easy driving distance.

Played last Sunday (9/3) morning and finished in just over 4 1/2 hrs...This was the first time playing here and enjoyed the course layout (although it is a little on the short side, played from the black tees), especially the elevated tees. The fairways and most of the greens were in good condition. The greens could be in a lot better condition if people would fix their own and other's ball marks. For the price, range balls should have been included. Overall, had a good time and will definitely come back...

Note to self: Next time play from the Gold Tees. Course plays really short. Lost balls will be a problem here even at closer tee boxes if you can't place the ball where you want it. Course in beau... Continue »

Note to self: Next time play from the Gold Tees. Course plays really short. Lost balls will be a problem here even at closer tee boxes if you can't place the ball where you want it. Course in beautiful shape. Still needs spots for better shade but aside from that, there is plenty of water. Tell the gal driving the cart to be sure to STOP and ask if we want something. Thought I waved her down but she drove right past me. Had to jump out of the cart and literally yell after her. Tee boxes are flat. They rotate the tee positions well -- no bad scarring. Greens are fantastic. Occasional unfixed divot but rolls very true. Some spots on the greens were bad but only perhaps 1 hole back 9 -- the par 5 comes to mind. Fairways were lush. Rough was well tough. Don't go in it. Round played fast considering we had gal in our group.

Course was a little rough around the edges, but nice enough. A few bumpy greens but otherwise in nice condition. Using the coupon in L A Times reduces greens fees to $49, which makes the course worth the $$. Otherwise too much for this course. Fun course with some dramatic views and interesting holes.

Course has seen better days... Staff trying to deal w/ recent heat , but course was soaked. Lots of ruts(carts),mud spots and ground under repair(sod patches). Greens were decent, fixed my ball mark and one extra(out of courtesy). PLEASE FIX YOUR MARKS/DIVOTS, IT'S PART OF THE GAME, PERIOD..!! Played at noon on a Fri. as a two, no one in front or back for 10 holes, awesome.. But I believe that was due to $110 fee, we played w/ 2 fer coupon so it was not as bad, but , with all the golf in so. cal is there a course worth $100+ weekday?? Have'nt seen one yet, this course included...

Played Sat 07/08. Joined a company tournament and had to pay only $40 with Lunch included. Great price and enjoy the round. Coyote Hills is very nice course. Short but interesting course. However, I will not pay $110 to play this course. Total yardages from Blue tees are only ~5618. Very short. Certain holes have nice views but compare to Robinson Ranch or Moorpark, they are nothing. Fairways and greens are OK similar to other well maintain publice courses. Nothing really stand out for $110 green fees. Practice range is very nice.
Bottom line: for $40 - thumbs up but for $110, BIG Thumbs DOWN

I played on Sunday, July 2. Coyote has seen better days. I play this course at least once a month, and zehner was completely right about the recent heat taking its toll on the course. Fairways are mixed dry patches and wet spots. Tee boxes are fairly beat up. And greens were normal (this means good).

All these bad spots have sprung up over the last couple weeks because I played two weeks ago and the course was excellent. I would not be discouraged if you are planning on playing here anytime soon, as you could always do much worse in Orange County.

Another tip: Play super twilight here on the weekend! This time of year, finishing is no problem at all and the price is $45, cheaper than a at least a dozen much crappier courses in the area. Actually, cheaper than almost any course in OC on the weekend!
