“We had our wedding here on October 23rd, 2025. It was beautiful and the Epic team made the day as easy as possible.

“Coyote Hills Golf Course was a wonderful choice for our wedding venue. From the beginning, the communication with the staff was easy, friendly and effective. The outdoor ceremony site was worth every penny - it was beautifully landscaped and provided a gorgeous backdrop for our vows. While the indoor reception venue was a little tight, the staff did a great job coordinating the event flow and ensuring everything ran smoothly. The servers were friendly and attentive, and the food was delicious. A special shoutout to Hannah, Jordan and Shelby - they were amazing and helped make our special day perfect.”
