    I had the absolute pleasure of staying at Cordevalle Resort. It was a part of a golf trip that one…read moreof my friends put together up north. We started the trip with what I can say was a can't be beat resort stay here. We each had our own king rooms that honestly almost made me hate my own home. From the start of the stay pulling up to the security gate and getting greeted with so much energy and friendliness then being handed a rosemary bag to bring you into the mood. Immediately I knew I would love this place. The valets were great. The lobby staff were great. I was at the resort for two days and I swear I never touched a door to open. My room was ready early which was a bonus and the room. Again just great. Spacious. Ultra clean. All the amenities you could want. Fridge bar area. Fireplace. Sliding double doors to a private patio overlooking a fantastic golf course. Giant bathroom with separate soaking tub that was divine. I could review the golf all by itself. Super nice caddy Jack who it was a pleasure to spend the day working alongside and perfect weather because it can certainly get hot out there. We had a catered private lunch and then we had dinner in the bar area and everything was, you guess it, perfect. I will be back it's just a matter of when.

    We stayed at Cordevalle for a few days while their golf course was closed. It was very relaxing and…read morewe felt like we had the place to ourselves. Not sure how busy/crowded it feels when the course is open, but having the course as a backdrop to our dining experiences and our room was beautiful. There is a hiking trail we didn't attempt because it was windy and our allergies were already bothering us, but a very nice option for those without allergies (or not staying during the spring). There are also pickleball, tennis and bocce ball courts and a nice gym! Our room in the resort was very spacious, they were really accommodating with baby amenities for our 15 month old which is always helpful when you're traveling. Cordevalle provided a crib, baby bath tub, baby bath supplies and a diaper genie!

    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.

    June 2026 I retired…read morein December 2025 and decided to try golf. My wife and I never played before so we wanted to develop good habits before we made an attempt at golf. Coach Kelly was highly recommended by many of my friends. Consistently, they described him as chill, laid back and a great teacher. My wife and I booked a private session with him. We met at his house and he has an indoor golf simulator. On session one, we worked on grip, hip rotation and hinge. On session two (3 weeks later), Coach Kelly worked with our rotation, power shift in the hips and our follow through on the swing. From this point on, we will take individual lessons with him. We've incorporated everything he taught us and are making micro improvements as we continue our golf journey. Scheduling was simple. Prices very reasonable. And that man is Hawaiian! That should tell you enough about his personality. I highly recommend Coach Kelly!

    This review is long overdue! Coach Kelly is an amazing coach and all around one of the nicest…read morepeople I've ever met. My daughter was a complete beginner that wanted to make it on her girls high school golf team. When she first came to him the summer leading up to her junior year, she didn't even know how to properly hold a golf club. By the end of her senior year she was captain, made it to BVAL as a solo player and fell in love with the sport. Coach Kelly was so patient with her, encouraged her and because of his knowledge and teaching style allowed her to grow so much in such a short time. I highly recommend Coach Kelly to anyone looking for a coach.

They were there for us throughout the entire wedding planning process. They also supported us the entire day - bringing us drinks, appetizers and even lipstick when I needed a touch-up. The flowers and proprep decorations were beautiful. We got so many compliments on the cake from I Do bakery!! It was delicious! Guests loved the drinks, appetizers and salad, but mentioned the entrees were a bit dry. The bartenders handled the busy bar with ease and the DJ kept the dance floor packed until the very last song. Our banquet captain Leandra packed up all our decorations and personal items from our suites and loaded it into our car at the end of the night. The team was so efficient, it allowed us to continue mingling with our guests as we headed to our after party. Everything went perfect and it was all because of the wonderful team at Eagle Ridge. We can't recommend them enough!!

    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.

My wife…read moreand I looked for the perfect venue that would be in San Jose, the city we love but provide the perfect dreamy setting we've dreamed about and this was perfect. This venue was perfect to have all of our friends and family together in one place. But what really made what many would normally describe as a stressful experience anything but, was the team at Wedgewood. Shout out to the planning team behind the scenes Melissa, Kelli and Tiffany for making it so no stone was left unturned the day of. Alejandro and Tori, the chefs who's food ALL of our friends and family couldnt stop complimenting. The food logistics teams Kennia, Emily A, Giselle, Tom and Lucas who kept everyone fed and food moving throughout the entirety of the event. Krystal & Diego, the bartenders who went above and beyond and even partied alongside my party animal friends and family! And as an even more special shoutout to three people who legitimately made the day feel like a dream i couldn't wake up from. Nicole, thank you so much for being attentive to every single need for drinks and food for my wife and I. We love living in the moment and spending as much time as possible with friends and family so we didn't spend time focusing on getting food or drinks for ourselves but you kept us energized and hydrated throughout the night, couldn't ask for a more attentive banquet captain. DJ 'Miggy' Miguel, the way you took us from a dreamy ghibli inspired wedding setting to a pure bay area hyphy experience into the night was absolutely legendary and was EXACTLY as I'd hoped for the day. You are legendary amongst my family and friends now and I hope you the best in your future. And finally Emily, you amazing soul. The way that you are now a household name amongst everyone who was present at our wedding is a testament to how easy you meshed with all of our friends and family. The way you took care of us all the way through the day really made this whole experience seamless and unforgetable. You are exceptional at what you do and your idea of perfection makes art in the Lourve look flawed. You took the day we wanted and made it even more incredible than what we could've ever achieved. When we think of Wedgewood, we will think of you. Thank you so much for EVERYTHING!
