Coyote Hills is in Fullerton, off the Orange Freeway at Yorba Linda on the west side. The course was designed by Cal Olsen and Payne Stewart, and is a good solid layout, well conditioned, fun with the elevation change, and challenging. The course is routed through a residential community, but the interior holes aren't really impacted, and those houses that border the holes really don't infringe. A number of forced carries, very scenic course, with elevated tees and big drops to the fairways and greens. Rates are a little steep, but it keeps the pace of play at a decent level, by discouraging the higher handicappers. From the tips, it's 6510 yards, par 70, 120 slope, and is all the course you can handle.

The course is rather hilly with a lot of extreme elevation changes, especially on the front nine. There are a few strangely designed holes and a few inventive ones, with all built around several old oil derricks that add an interesting flavor to the round. There is some good use of water and hillsides that keep the round interesting, and there are a few standout holes. see more at Golf18

Some of the tees are so elevated; you get some really wild views of the hole below and surrounding areas. There are actually a bunch of small oil derricks on the course that look like large children’s toys. What I really liked about this track is that the 6510 yards from the tips felt legitimate all the way, each green was beautifully framed with soft evergreens and slopes so it felt like you were hitting into kind of a crater setting and the greens were in great shape. A round with cart cost $100. The place was empty this day so we finished in 3 hours and change so we went for the $25 replay and played until the sun went down. Very reasonable. Lunch was good as well. If you are in the Los Angeles area and seek a course that is fun to play and a great price alternative to the $250-$350 greens fees you will have to fork up for the Laguna tracks, this is a good deal.
