Crazy Beautiful
Such a great and challenging track! Every hole is original and fun. Perfect for the mountain area with greens that present interesting surprises. Had an awesome time and even had a visit or two from a couple coyotes. They didn’t bother us, but just wanted to make sure we were having a good time.
Pace of play
My only gripe. I wasn't able to finish 15 before we drove to the parking lot. Tee'd off at 1:40pm.
Great Mountain course
The greens were just a little bumpy in a few areas, otherwise nice conditions. The amazing views are what bring me back. the wildlife is kinda cool to. We had no locust issues at all. At the time of this review a few of the other courses were having big locust problems.
The greens need help, snow frost cancer.
Pace of play was ridicules and way beyond slow.
Played the course many times, but someone dropped the ball on keeping pace of play. May be the last time we play this course the we have loved for over ten years.
Thanks
My New NorCal Favorite
First off let me say I showed up and showed them the tee time I booked (in confidence), which I soon learned was the wrong day.. The staff was super friendly and accomodating and gave me a tee time on the spot for my purchased rate. The course was looking sharp, (especially since there was a close fire to the proximity only a couple days prior. A couple of the greens had some work to do but for a course that was 10 feet under snow this winter it's hard to complain. I really enjoyed the layout and the various turns and twists..(especially the boulders).. Get out to this track and give it a go! NOYE: I played Old Greenwood a few days prior and think this place was better..
Coyote Moon Thoughts
Great course, decent speed of play. Late spring snow and ice apparently caused green damage but overall the course was in very good shape. The driving range is non-existent or at least has only a 20-yard carry into a net. It allows you to warm up your swing but with no distance to determine if you are hitting your ball correctly. The short game chipping and putting greens are excellent. $195 mid summer green fee is a bit steep but the course played nicely and their rental clubs are decent. Overall a beautiful course free of noise and homes. I will definitely play it again if I am visiting Tahoe.
Excellent Layout and Conditions
Excellent course Layout, conditions, fast greens and very friendly staff members. Thank you!
Only the pace of play was slow, because they played with 5 or 8 men in one flight....but the Club Management was flexible so that I could finish at the end the 18 holes.
Coyote Moon
Love this course. Beautiful, through the forest. Course conditions were excellent. Recommend calling pro shop for reservations, don’t use GolfNow.
Great golf course
Beautiful lay out, with gorgeous views
Some greens were a bit bumpy but otherwise golf course was in great shape
All the alpine views on a fair and challenging track
Loved everything about this course! So much so we were supposed to go home but changed our plans to play it a second time. The only bummer is the frost damage on some greens.
Coyote Crawl, disappointed
The pace of play here is pretty bad. Our round took just over 5 hours and we waited literally on every tee box as we watched the group in front of us wait for the group in front of them. And we waited on every fairway to hit our approach shot. The cart girl told me that the day before, rounds were pushing 6 hours. And the card attendant intimated that they tend to have piece of play issues here. For what they're charging for green fees here, they need to do a better job managing pace of play. It's simply is not enjoyable standing around on a golf course and waiting and waiting.
As for the practice facilities, they have no range but a very small area with some cheesy nets tied to trees and two worn out mats. Again, for what they're charging for green fees here, they can do better. The practice green was nice and well maintained though.
As for course conditions, overall they were good. A few too many tee boxes though had a lot of wear on them and a few of the greens had some minor issues. Again, for what they're charging for green fees here, they can do better.
As for the course, there are a lot of elevation changes and undulating fairways. Flat lies are a little more the exception and not the rule. And shot selection is critical on a lot of holes. Use the wrong club and you'll be spending a lot of time in the woods looking for your ball. You won't be using your driver a whole lot here. The layout can be quirky at times, especially a few holes on the back nine. And our group was talking about the 18th being a less than satisfying finishing hole.
Honestly, I was expecting a better experience here, especially for what they're charging. I've played much nicer courses and had much better experiences for a lot less money. Until they drop their green fees or improve pace of play, I won't go back.
Great resort course
Beautiful course in beautiful setting. Not to be missed. Hole 13 is breathtaking. Very fair course with no trick holes. Stay on fairway and you will be rewarded. Nice puttable greens.
Stunning course/great condition/awful pace of play
I played Coyote Moon for the first time yesterday and this course was incredible. The setting was amazing and the course was in amazing shape. Truly one of the best courses I have been too. Unfortunately the pace of play was one of the worst I have seen. It took about 4 hours to play 13 holes. I wasn't even able to finish my round because I had to catch my flight. They did not have an employee even trying to keep the pace at a respectable level which was disappointing given the course was not cheap. No golf course of this level should allow a round to take 6 hours. If they can fix this issue this course would be elite.
Good condition!!
Good condition, good greens!! Challenging course!!
This is the one to play in Truckee
Grays Crossimg and Old Greenwood are nearby but this is the one to play.
Staff were friendly and course was beautiful and fun to play. This one will make my play again list.
