Feature Holes to Look Forward To
- Hole 5 (Par 4, 386 yds from Gold): The No. 1 handicap hole on the course. Give this one your full attention off the tee.
- Hole 7 (Par 4): The highest viewpoint on the property. On clear days the panorama stretches across the Los Angeles basin, and you can pick out the Hollywood Sign from the tee.
- Holes 9, 14 & 18: Water is the story on all three. Nine closes the front with water in play, fourteen asks for a committed par-3 swing, and the 18th green is framed by a waterfall, one of the best finishing backdrops in Orange County.
- Hole 15 (Par 5): At 526 yards from the Gold tees, the longest hole at Coyote Hills and a real three-shotter for most players.
