Area residents said they've seen the coyotes roaming the course, on and off, for the last couple of years. They thought the issued was resolved last summer when the owners of the golf course trapped a couple of them.

In recent weeks, two coyotes have been spotted on the course. Residents say they want the golf course owners to do something before their young children are attacked.
