Coyote Lakes Golf Club

Coyote Lakes Golf Club is an 18-hole public course located in Surprise, Arizona, near Peoria and Sun City in the West Valley. Designed by Forrest Richardson and Arthur Snyder in 1993, the course emphasizes challenge over length by embracing the property's natural terrain and undulations rather than flattening fairways with fill dirt. The compact layout rewards careful shot selection and strategic play, with abundant wildlife integrated throughout the course. While described as fun for golfers of all skill levels, the course presents genuine difficulty—careless play can prove costly. The terrain features natural undulations that demand precision, and errant shots may result in lost balls. The course received consecutive 4-star ratings on Golf Digest's Best Places to Play list and is owned by Swing First Golf since 2021. Coyote Lakes welcomes public tee times daily and accommodates group outings of up to 144 golfers, offering formats including scrambles and shotgun starts.
