There are (2) 9 hole courses in this area: Date: 10/30/16 Twosome Time: 11am Conditions: mild breeze 5~6 mph THEN after 2pm wind speeds picked up over 20mph Given a choice, I'd pick Coyote Willows over Beaver Dam because the rates are the same BUT Coyote Willows gives more of a challenge and you can hit Driver/3wood/Long Hybrid off the tee boxes on some holes. http://coyotewillowsgolf.com This course was re-routed to adjust for the floods. It has to be close to FIVE years since we played it last. Btw, the Home owners took over this course from the previous management team and have made improvements! LAYOUT: Hole #3 would normally be a PAR 5 but has been broken up into a par 3 due to the floods & the soil is not accepting grass to grow in many areas. Therefore cart path ONLY till you reach #4 Short Par 4. The (3) finishing holes #7,#8 & #9 really make you think off the tee box since there are hidden water hazards to avoid. (See my tips). Bunkers (NOT TRAPS): just a few on the course,wasn't in any of them but took a look at consistency (small pebbles & light sand) Greens: Speed? SLOOOOOOOWWWW.....SLOOOOWWWWW. Roll true but you gotta really rap it from long distances. Soft, hairy & held all shots. Barely any ball marks to speak of. Tee Boxes: Somewhat on the narrow side, some uneven lies can be found. Fairways: Course is Green & looking tons better since we played it last (5 yrs ago). Rough: not much to talk about, ball sits up & allows you to get back in play. Hazards: not to many but they are strategically placed #1,#7,#8,#9. Overall: We'd play this course again...again....again...It's a GREAT course for beginners who don't want to $pend over $100 rack rate at regulation courses in town.....There is always Beaver Dam "Executive", Meanwhile this is a "regulation" 9 hole course. Since there is no slope & rating, created a CDF 32.5 as a barometer. Customer Service: Volunteers of home owners who refused to let this course die in their community. It is a walk-able course but taking the carts helps to get you from #2 to #3 faster and even faster on hole #4 to #5. CF39
