Coyote Hills Golf Course 1440 East Bastanchury Road • Fullerton • CA 92835

Since opening its doors in 1996, Coyote Hills Golf Course has generated considerable public interest, and it's not just the links that have attracted a following: The versatile clubhouse and lovely setting have become popular for all types of events. While fundraisers, theme parties, anniversary celebrations and golf tournaments (naturally) are frequently hosted here, weddings are definitely a specialty.

When it's time to exchange vows, guests take their seats before a vine-wrapped wooden pergola that frames a two-tiered waterfall. It's here that you'll say "I do," surrounded by a landscape filled with fragrant jasmine flowers, olive trees, and abundant greenery.

A long walkway leads to their unique ceremony site, which is custom-built and quite breathtaking. Guests take their seats beneath a wisteria-draped wooden pergola that frames a two-tiered waterfall. It's here that the couple exchanges vows, surrounded by a landscape filled with flowers, trees and an abundance of greenery. This area also lends itself to intimate events and, of course, makes a gorgeous backdrop for photos.

Receptions are held on the upper level of the clubhouse in a pair of banquet rooms that can be used individually or combined, depending on the size of the celebration. The Vista Falls Room, tastefully designed with exquisitely styled Japanese lamps and a lofty ceiling paneled in polished maple, has an elegant simplicity. Plenty of floor-to-ceiling windows take advantage of the inspiring landscape spread out below: acres of green hummocks, footbridges, sand traps, and a gently flowing creek. The room also overlooks a lake and two waterfalls. One of them, the amazing two-tiered water cascade at the ceremony site, is especially captivating at night when illuminated. Four sets of double doors open out onto a long terrace that runs the length of the room. Here, you can sit and enjoy the sunshine or sweet evening air and listen to the music of the falls.

Another benefit of the Vista Falls Room is that the clubhouse bar, located next door in the facility's restaurant, may be available for your event. Airy and inviting, the restaurant is a big octagonal space accented with tropical plants that stand out against creamy walls. Sunlight pours in through an eight-sided skylight, and large picture windows offer a panoramic view of the fairways.

If you're planning a small meeting, reception or indoor ceremony, reserve the Vista Pointe Room, separated from the Vista Falls Room by a movable airwall. Laid out in an interesting octagonal shape like the restaurant, it shares the same patio as the Vista Falls Room as well as the view of the fairways and waterfalls through plenty of windows.

During our visit, we couldn't help but notice the serene, satisfied faces of the venue's patrons, inside the clubhouse or out on the links. Hold your event at Coyote Hills Golf Course and we bet you'll acquire that look of satisfaction, too.
