Used Golf Now for discount

We used GN for a decent price, then found out that we had to pay a $25 cart fee.

Course has a nice layout to it, but upkeep is minimal and it needs work. Greens are Ok. Holes are confusing with numbering and following along when you play. Probably will not play here again.

Worth it if you can get under $50

Honestly a very respectable course, front nine plays very short and it lengthens a bit on the back. Very narrow course overall though, several extremely difficult holes. Overall good and challenging.

PS - some of the spongiest greens I’ve ever seen in my life. You can thin a shot right at it and it’ll probably stay on.

Terrible Service

Worst service I have ever experienced at a golf course. Little to no directional signage when you arrive. When I finally found where to check in, I asked the guy if someone was around to get a cart and give directions as it was my first time. Told me yes, the guy that was down there pressure washing the carts had the WORST attitude I have ever experienced on a golf course and talked to me as if I worked there and knew everything. I played 3 holes and left. Honestly if it wasn’t for the cart girl I would have just left and not even played 1 hole. Not sure how this course is still in business. Save your money go somewhere else!!

Course Overview

The conditions aren’t great but for the money, I enjoyed the vast challenges this course offered. Don’t come into this with high expectations and I think you’ll throughly enjoy this place.

Course needs a little care

I don’t mind this course because there is usually no one there and it’s easy to move through. The course needs some care but they have improved the greens a lot. The price I believe should be a little lower due to the conditions. For a quick round to move through and not worry about slow people in front I like this course.

Boulder Oaks did not disappoint - course is improving

I have been coming to Boulder Oaks for several years. This course used to be a place where you could play for $35, but over the years, golf courses in San Diego County have gotten expensive. The owners are finally investing in the course. After buying new carts a few years ago I see marked improvement in the conditions. The greens were amazing compared to the past and I can see they are taking care of the grounds. Look forward to playing again.

CONDITIONS!

Hello viewer. Boulder Oaks is an interesting course to say the least. One thing right out the box is that the website is way out of date, especially the scorecard. It is indeed a 19 hole course, but they only have about 2 black tee boxes not roped off and available to play off of, and given that the course is only 6300 at max from black, you do lose a lot of distance on the course. (Plays max about 5800). The layout if this course is challenging, and the greens and fairways were in good condition. However, the conditions on everywhere except the greens and most fairways was brutal. Dirt everywhere, dusty unpaved rickety cart paths, and sometimes in the rough it was like hitting on concrete. The course if kept in better shape would be challenging and a great course for the money, but the conditions of the course unfortunately made it feel like a goat track. But, the service was good! The people who checked us in were friendly and helpful. I overall wouldn’t recommend this course to anyone who likes a cured golf experience, but for the average Joe looking for cheap golf with some buddies, this course is just fine!

Challenging course but a bit rough for the price

Boulder Oaks is located in a beautiful area and the views were awesome. Course is challenging and enjoyable. That being said, when comparing the price per round on how much you pay for other local courses, I think that the upkeep would be better. Course was pretty rough in spots and could use some TLC from the grounds crew

Great course. Layout has changed since I was last here. Greens and fairways were in great shape. Staff was very friendly. Marshall/cart worker was cool. Super laid back place. It’s not arrowwood or links…. Cart paths are a little rocky on some holes and you can get lost as the paths kind of crossover each other on some holes. Several tee boxes were roped off, possibly under repair. No cart girl. but for 55 bucks with a cart… can’t beat it. If you want to work on your game and not have to worry about pace of play or the course being over crowded this is a great course, like I said greens and fairways were great. 55 bucks for a 12:30 tee time on a Friday. Would recommend

Fun Layout but a bit rough

The staff were all really good: helpful and very friendly. Great value for money; this is obviously not one of the higher end courses but it was very playable and a great walking course if you don’t mind hills. It was a damp day when we played so we had no one ahead or behind us. It’s an executive course with lots of par 3 holes but the 4’s and 5’s required you keep it more or less straight. Wet weather and some wind had it playing a bit longer and that was ok. Exceeded my expectations for the price.
