WOW! What a course!!
Talk about a fun golf course! Conditions were good and we didn’t have to wait at all on a Friday afternoon. Short but tricky par 4s and 5s had me dragging my sack all over the fairway! Shoot the lowest score of your life and don’t tell anyone that the average par 4 length was 230 yards.
Lots of fun
I like the changes, lots of fun to play the extra hole. Tough starting on the old #12 as the new #1
Good Test
A fine test of your ability despite it's being very short. In good condition and fun to play.
Great round
My dad and his buddies came to visit north county from Santa Cruz and loved the course
MaxJ
The course was fun to play. They have changed some holes around so a little on my not recently updated gps watch. The course is a great value for the money and fun to play.
Cool course good times but…
They recently changed the layout of the course and the golf app I used didn’t have the updates so I had to play old school going by the markers which I couldn’t always find
Solid course
Not a bad place to come enjoy a round of golf. I come here often and I always enjoy playing Boulder oaks. Challenging course that requires your driver to be on point otherwise you’re in for a rough second shot. Greens are always nice, staff/ bar has super cool people.
Awesome Fun Golf.
This course is great, a lot of the reviews are kind of nitpicky on the conditions, I think of all the courses that I’ve played out in San Diego area this one is one that is getting better and better! Super great layout and was a fun round! I would go back and play this coarse again!
CONDITIONS IMPROVING
Great layout, fun design. Yes like the other reviews show the course has seen better days, I appreciate that they’re spending money to improve what impacts the game most immediately. Greens, fringe and relevant portions of fairway. Hit a bad tee shot, shank something short left or right and you’ll be playing out a “desert” scape.
$50 for a Sunday morning time, I’ll be going back when I need a last second tee time!
My Round at Boulder Oak Golf Course
I played this course years ago and came back because I remembered the fantastic vistas. The course was in horrible shape from the very dried out first hole to the eight-inch-long grass around the greens. Maintenance is obviously a problem there. Either they don't have the help or can't afford to pay to get it.
Need to mow
The grass was thick. The clubhouse was in construction. No indication that the kitchen was not open when we booked. Markers missing on several holes. In future this should be ok course. Hope they finish repairs and do course mowing maintenance. Also a lot of thorny weed bushes which are not so pretty. Would love to come back under better conditions.
Well maintained, ODD layout & Great Value for $30!
For $30 you cannot go wrong here!
Cons:
- Grass is good for summer months, But TOO TALL there are many parts of the FAIRWAY that the grass was so tall you’d lose your ball after a pure drive down the middle. Absolutely bonkers!
-Layout is odd with random extra par 3 hole in the front 9, some may enjoy but it caused us not a chaos with our group using GPS apps
-Don’t bother with GPS apps as they changed the order of the holes here and the extra hole throws it off.
Pros:
-Course conditions: were better than average for end of summer, grass was LUSH - Too lush…
- Pace of play good for Labor Day even for newbies
-Very nice views
- Awesome budget course if you book through the App for <$30
Good round for a good price in Escondido
Challenging course, friendly staff, fast pace of play and good course conditions. Best value for the $ in Escondido!
Improving conditions but still needs work
The course has improved a lot in the past two months, the tee boxes, fairways and greens are in nice condition.
The negative is the fairways are very uneven and the rough needs to be better maintained, balls hit down the middle tend to roll off the fairway and can be difficult to find. Overall better but still room for improvement.
