Coyote Creek Golf Club (Valley)

Coyote Creek’s Valley Course is the flatter of the club’s two Jack Nicklaus-designed 18s in Morgan Hill. The operator’s Valley description identifies the par-3 seventh as its signature hole: a long tee shot over a lake to a green guarded by bunkers on the right and a collection area on the left.

Course history and layout

A 2006 Morgan Hill Times club profile dates the Valley Course’s opening to June 2001, after the separate Tournament Course opened in 1999. The club’s course page calls Valley slightly flatter than Tournament and lists four tee sets. The Valley course map shows this as a distinct routing.

Scorecard context

The operator-posted Valley scorecard is printed 1/2024 and lists the Blue tees at 7,066 yards, par 72, 74.0 course rating and 132 slope. The operator’s current course-details table also totals 7,066 Blue yards but omits rating and slope. The USGA Valley rating row identifies Blue men’s 18-hole par 72 as 7,044 yards with a 74.0 rating and 132 slope; its displayed record has no effective date. The 22-yard difference makes it a distinct tee edition. We use the complete Blue 7,066-yard/par-72/74.0/132 tuple printed on the operator’s dated January 2024 Valley card, whose yardage the current club course table repeats. This keeps the structured figures on one named tee and one card edition while making the USGA difference visible.

The linked Golf Parfection Valley course vlog was published in January 2022. Its filming date is unverified, and it predates the club’s reported 2025 property-wide bunker work. Treat it as an older player perspective, not a survey of current course condition.
