My wife and I played Coyote Creek for the first time yesterday and we had a wonderful time. Affordably priced, nice grass range, and the course was in great condition. The greens were a little slower than I’m used to but they held good shots and rolled true.
I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of water on the course and I didn’t expect, but really enjoyed, the longer, difficult par 4s on the front. I also liked the longer, challenging par 3s and overall, the nice mix of tougher and easier holes.
Even though Coyote Creek is about 40 minutes from where I live, I’ll definitely play it again soon.

I’ve played this course maybe 10 times over the years. I thought the course today was in decent shape, greens were consistently very good, fairways good, roughs were not so good…. plenty of dirt patches and inconsistencies. The price was $75, they must have raised them. Honestly, although it was a Saturday, not sure the course demands that price. You can pay that for far nicer courses.

The course play is fantastic! 5 stars. Maintained well. Fast greens these days. However lots of construction noise and dust and tee box annoyances. 2.75 stars. If it’s a hot day no shade trees. But a challenge course for sure.

With all due respect to the gentleman who gave this course a negative review based on having played it in June of 2022, I will say I strongly disagree with his assessment and critique.
I have played various courses in the North Metro area that compare to Coyote Creek in price point and style including both Riverdale courses, Buffalo Run, Thorncreek, Legacy Ridge, Hyland Hills and others. I played Coyote Creek with my dad on the 4th of July and in my opinion, it definitely measured up!
The course was in fine shape. As seen in some of the pictures I have posted here, there are some weeds and dead sections. However, MOST of it is found far away from the fairways and greens. There was some extra growth in the bunkers, BUT the majority of it was found in the fairway bunkers, and NOT the greens.
Speaking of the greens, they were in GREAT shape, cut nicely, and surprisingly lush for mid-summer. They rolled very true on every putt. The only reason my ball didn't drop every time was because I didn't read the green correctly, NOT because of the conditions.
We even came across a beautiful turtle crossing the 7th fairway on his way to the water feature that lines the hole and protects the green.
The $63 price point was a little steep, but it was a holiday, and normally, it isn't that high, even on weekends during peak season.
The staff was very friendly! One employee greeted us with a smile as we arrived and was very accommodating. Madeline in the Pro Shop was VERY nice and hospitable.
So, yes, while the course IS NOT without blemishes, they are MINOR at best, and overall, it is in good shape and a fun place to play. If golfers want courses that are completely green with no blemishes ever and perfectly manicured greens and fairways, they should join a Country Club. If they want a relatively affordable public course that is a friendly environment and is in good shape, Coyote Creek is a solid option for sure!

The course was in great shape and the price was fair. I like this course and overall had a great time. The only complaint I had was we were told we needed to speed up because of a gap. Although I really appreciate marshalls keeping pace of play timely, and he was very nice I was a little annoyed due to the fact we finished 9 holes in 1 hour and 55 minutes as a foursome. We didn't have a stack up behind us and we were not holding anyone up behind us. Have your marshall check your starting time and if you are over 2 hours then push people otherwise don't tell foursomes playing under 4 hour rounds that they need to go faster. Not to mention we got to 13 and caught the group in front and stood around on the tee boxes for the remainder of the round.
