    Shhhh, don't tell. I found this place and am reluctant to share, it's that good!…read more The location is tucked away from the city hustle with picturesque views and beautiful property landscaping to complement. The fairways are well-maintained and the greens are kept smooth, fast, and quite challenging. Heads up, there are many forced carries to conquer, so don't forget to pick up some extra balls at the pro shop in case that perfect tee shot doesn't go as planned. Playing here is very spoiling too. The pace of play always outperforms other public courses I've frequented in the Bay Area. I just started back to learning how to golf again, such an intimidating sport, but the incredibly attentive and helpful pro shop staff have been the key to feeling both comfortable and welcome from day one. From facilitating my first equipment fitting to helping me book random, afternoon replay rounds Adam's passion for delivering a remarkable experience when visiting Cinnabar is always on point. Coach Fred's lessons also enabled me to break through total frustration, find joy when I was struggling to improve, and 100% bonus, achieve multiple PR's this year too. Membership, where do I sign up?! Thank you Cinnabar, you're my home away from home and the entire staff is amazing!

    Cinnibar is an amazing course with a staff that is top notch .. as a UPS driver in Willow glen …read more. when I'm on vacation as this week it's always a good get away of great golf with great friends amazing views of of not only the golf course but Calero lake .. thank you Bill and staff in the pro shop for another great time out !

    Coyote Creek Golf Course was the perfect venue for my husband's retirement party. We had the event…read moreat the outdoor patio (which was covered and secured). It was the perfect spot for our group, not too hot, not too cold, with a light breeze coming through. The views were lovely and the freedom to roam onto the courtyard patio was a plus! The Event Coordinator, Miranda, was a pleasure to work with. She was flexible, accommodating, and clear with all arrangements. The ease of having everything done in-house was absolutely wonderful for me. I just showed up two hours before start-time with some decorations and favors, and everything else was already set-up and ready for me. The service was stellar... everyone knew the bartender's name by the end of the night (thank you Elliot for taking care of us) and everyone raved about the food. It was not only delicious, but aesthetically pleasing and plentiful. Everyone in attendance (and even those who missed out) are still talking about the event. My husband had the best time and said it was one of the highlights in his life. Thank you to Coyote Creek for making that moment happen for us!

    Coyote Creek is very green at this time of year. With the ongoing heatwave in Bay area, it's also…read moresuper hot! The faux leather seats on the cart really heat up under the sun and they transfer the heat very efficiently to your posterior, so be careful. We played the Valley course. It was very long! Lots of 400+ yard par 4 holes. It lies entirely within the southern Santa Clara Valley, so there's little elevation change, but the views are still rather good. I liked the relative lack of hazards, so I didn't lose too many balls. The fairways and greens are in quite good condition, and the greens played somewhat fast, with lots of challenging slopes. The fairways are somewhat narrow, so errant tee shots from other players can hit you if you're not careful.

We worked with Emily, Theresa, and Kelly, and the team is very communicative during the planning process leading up to the wedding. Very easy to customize exactly what we wanted for our wedding. Kelly was our on-site coordinator on the day of the wedding and really went above and beyond with being attentive throughout the entire event and ensuring everything went smoothly. Also highly recommend DJ Brian - he has such a natural personality fit for this and was so professional!

From the planning process all the way through the wedding day, Jennifer and Priscilla were so helpful, organized, and accommodating. My wife and I can definitely be a little indecisive at times, and they were so patient with us every step of the way. They made decision-making feel easy and helped guide us through everything with such professionalism and kindness. On the wedding day, they made everything run perfectly and completely stress-free. We were able to fully enjoy the day knowing they had everything under control. All of the staff at Wedgewood Eagle Ridge were incredibly accommodating, attentive, and helpful throughout the entire event, and they truly made us and our guests feel taken care of. We couldn't have asked for a better venue or team to work with. Jennifer and Priscilla went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect, and we would highly recommend Wedgewood Eagle Ridge to anyone looking for an amazing wedding venue experience!

    Post-wedding review: venue was great…read more Coordination/answering questions regarding wedding planning was great. It was a bit annoying having to fill out the DJ forms several times and repeating similar info, but I understand we were caught in between them switching systems. Not everything was perfect, but nothing in life will ever be perfect. It was raining on the morning of the wedding, so we were very close to having to switch everything indoor. We made the call at around 2:30/3pm for a 4pm ceremony, so naturally some seats were missing and the staff had to shift things around last min. The staff graciously let us into the venue an hour early because the weather was not great. We had originally planned to start with the makeup service outdoor first. Venue's indoor bathroom toilets was not clean when we first entered. Good thing my bridesmaid checked and we were able to inform the staff before guests arrived. They took care of it immediately. I do highly recommend having a second coordinator, or have someone in the wedding party as well reversed in the wedding schedule/plan as the bride. There was mixed information at a point, and that resulted some confusion during the photos with friends and family at the alter. As a person who plans/organize/coordinate event for work occasionally, I couldn't help but felt the urge to push things along at several times during the wedding to keep the schedule on track. (Ie: vendors were supposed to eat at 6:30, so they can be ready to serve desserts/do photos at 7pm, but I had to remind the staff again. It's understandable that they wanted to wait for the vendors to be settled in first, but I really wanted to make sure things were on schedule since we only had 2 hours booked for the dessert vendor.) The DJ was good, but he did ask us questions on the day of. Some of those questions could've been redirected to the coordinator, but I guess he wanted to make sure. I did wish he asked some of the questions earlier since we had guests standing in front of the mansion & the wedding party was ready to make the grand entrance, but we were waiting for the DJ to ask questions and then make his way to his station. In the grand scheme of things, it was fine, but I was hoping for guests to do less waiting while doing nothing. The tabling layout was a bit off centered from what I had originally planned, but it was too chaotic on the day of to actually check and make adjustments. I was told that they needed to leave the space there originally so they can move things around, but that they will readjust the tables afterward. I did not have time to check the table after they did the first adjustment. As for the hor d'ourves, I was told that they'd prepare a separate plate for the bride and the groom, but it was actually a separate plate for the whole wedding party. I don't think we got enough for everyone because my husband and I only got to eat one out of the 5 we chose (we paid for extras). We did have to leave for photos immediately and asked the staff to put them in the bridal suite for us. My brother stole/ate a few of them while we were taking pictures, so I had to ask for more and they only had chicken skewer left...and it was cold.

    Recently had my daughter's sweet 16 here…read more I would give them 4.5 stars because so much was awesome and went right!! Very beautiful venue. They even gave me a discount which I'm truly grateful for. Claire our coordinator was very kind and helpful. During planning process we emailed many times. Then Christina( her manager) would take over. Christina was nice but I got a vibe she knew best. Felt rushed at times and communication felt insincere. I understand the time line was a quick one so that's not their issue. I knew they wanted to help. The food was delicious including the desserts!! We tasted the whole menu at the Granda a month prior. The food is excellent!! The decorations were completed by Luxe. Savannah who was very patient and met with my daughter and I twice to review. Quite pricey. Table centerpieces beautiful. Stairway was pretty. All decorations beautiful. The seating chart was done last minute and Christina did a wonderful job! I really appreciate Leal helping with last minute DJ and allowing an outside karaoke last minute. They did not need to do that, and they did! As far as the night of party lighting not so great. It was like a spotlight was on you. I had asked and a few others had asked about lighting. My daughter's theme was Midnight Enchanted garden. Way too bright. Willow heights allowed balloon company to come in early to help with balloon ceiling which was a super plus! I had hoped for a coffee station. Even though it was shared it would be there it was forgotten. S'mores area was darling but maybe a few low seats would have helped so kids could sit around fire pit. Dj Darren was great however I had hoped for him to help get the teens to dance. Maybe a dance off? My daughter hoped for that also. He had added some personalized touches which everyone greatly enjoyed. The staff was kind and helpful. This is not leals issue but it may have helped for coordinator to recommend photos outside with tea lights and fountain during night hours. I didn't think to ask photographer and photographer left before I could ask. I emailed a few times after event and no one responded. Would help to send out an after event review form. With that said I would book again. I'll just be more in advance and I'll be strict with asks.
