Payne Stewart

Fullerton, CA

Coyote Hills Golf Course occupies 250 acres of hillside terrain in Fullerton, California, with views across Los Angeles and Orange County. Architect Cal Olson designed the course with input from PGA Tour player Payne Stewart, the only project Stewart was involved with as a design consultant. The course was built around dozens of active oil wells, which the design team reduced in number and screened with plantings and access roads, along with roughly 2,500 trees planted for cover. It opened in 1996 as a par-70 public course measuring about 6,510 yards from the back tees, with elevation changes of over 100 feet and water features on several holes. It remains a public facility with a driving range and event spaces.
