Tournament at Coyote Creek Golf Club

The Tournament Course at Coyote Creek Golf Club in Morgan Hill, California, opened in 1999 as a Jack Nicklaus design situated in the rolling foothills south of San Jose. The property occupies terrain characteristic of the region, with elevation changes, native oaks, and views toward the surrounding Santa Clara Valley. Nicklaus routed the course to take advantage of the natural contours, creating a layout that moves through varied topography and requires thoughtful club selection and course management.

The design incorporates water features on several holes and uses strategic bunkering to define landing areas and frame greens. The course plays as a championship-length test with multiple tee options, and the conditioning standards reflect its tournament aspirations. Coyote Creek operates as a daily-fee facility, making the Nicklaus design accessible to public play in a region where such access to signature architect courses is relatively limited.

The Tournament Course has hosted various regional amateur and professional events over the years, serving as a competitive venue in Northern California. The layout emphasizes accuracy and green-reading skills, with undulating putting surfaces that reward precise approach play. The facility also includes a second eighteen-hole course, the Valley Course, providing golfers with options on the same property. The setting offers a relatively quiet escape from the nearby urban areas while remaining convenient to Silicon Valley.
