Pace
They let groups of 6 on the course. No Marshall was around to push pace of play.
Not Happy
I played a good round; however, they have changed the course layout and my GPS scoring app did not know which hole I was on. The reason the pace of play was excellent was because there were very few golfers on the course. My main complaint is that the cart rental was more than the price of the green fees. $25,00 is way out of line to rent a cart.
Not real happy
The charge for the cart was way too expensive, actually more than the green fees.
They changed the layout and my golf pad app no longer works.
I played a good round, but was not thrilled with the course conditions. I probably won't play here again until winter.
The Most Below Average Public Course
Boulder Oaks is definitely a two star course. It should not be 50 bucks to play here at 3pm. I think 25 would be a much more fair price for what you get. The fairways are bad on almost every hole. The sand traps are hard caked dirt. Only redeeming factor is the greens which are just flat out average. This course is in major need of a rework and attention. Compared to other courses near by like Mt. Woodson and Native Oaks, this course is overpriced and in bad condition. That being said, I lost my phone during the round and the staff did everything they could to help me find it(very nice people!). I would recommend this course for beginners who need practice and don't want to hold up nicer public courses.
Needs a lot of work
Tee boxes & greens were okay, but fairways were really rough. Most cart paths were torn up or pure gravel. Very slow play with no one to assist. I would not play here again.
Awful
Greens are awful with dead grass, flow of play is awful no true stop for the back nine and is split into back 10. Plus there the new front nine is such an awful start. Tee boxes aren’t taken care of either.
Get What You Pay For
This course is in ROUGH shape and it is pretty challenging because of it. I walked all over the place trying to find the first hole, the course was redesigned a while (?) ago and need a lot more work. The signage is terrible, the rough is full of holes and ankle high grass. Keep it in the fairway or your ball is gone.
never coming back
Started off the course really confused. on my golf app, 18 birdies, we had to start the round at hole 12 instead of 1. it looks like they haven’t watered the course since 2020. bunkers were horrendous. even with a great tee shot, there’s no guarantee it’s landing on grass. the only redeeming quality was the pace of play. we basically had the course to ourselves, and i think for a good reason, no one ever comes back here.
Better than Vineyard
This course is solid. Conditions are SoCal conditions, but the layout is fun and challenging.
Under construction
I usually like to play this course, but there was a lot of maintenance going on. One hole was not playable and not on the scorecard. We were not told of the conditions. Also, there was a group of 5 playing ahead of us. Made it slow a little. I am going to wait a few months before I play this course again.
This was my first bad experience here, hopefully just a one time thing.
Disaster round
This was the most confusing round I’ve ever played. The score cards are wrong. Me and my playing partner had didn’t distances on our scorecards. The signs for the hole were mislabeled. It’s under construction. I would not recommend playing here. We were on “hole 3” but the bench said 14 and our scorecards showed 2 different distances that did not match the bench sign. Sooo confusing.
Confusing Construction
The construction on the front 9 was terrible. Marshall told me halfway through the round that they had “flipped” the course previous week. Back 9 was in really good shape. No app of mine had the correct course layout and score cards club gave us were all wrong too. Different cards for both carts. Once they are finished “constructing” would be a good course. Wish they would have reduced the rate for their poor planning.
