Good with a deal

Got a good deal on Teeoff.com. Staff was very friendly, and some holes (more on the back) were beautiful. Apparently, though, the course was recently redesigned and, had we not been paired up with a local guy who knew the course, we’d have had no idea where to go—especially on the front. Paved cart paths were abandoned in favor of new dirt paths to the new tee box locations. Hard to know which direction was correct. The course also has 19 holes—different to say the least. There were some beautiful views along the way that made the experience, for the price we paid, worthwhile.

Course was closed and communicated nothing.

When I arrived, the course was closed. I called and they said this was due to weather but didn’t communicate that to people who had tee times.

I was charged for the round and told to go through GolfNow to seek a refund.

Boulder Oaks Hidden Meadows

Boulder Oaks has finally returned to pre-Covid conditions! I’ve lived here for 10 years and the course is better than ever! They roll the greens daily and continue to improve the course! The new Clubhouse Restaurant with its 7 Big Screen TV’d still has some of the best BBQ Brisket around! z hopefully they will get some new ballad for the driving range! You can see the ocean from the 5th green and several views of the snow capped Mt San Gregornio and Mt Baldy!

Completely dry. Be prepared to lose balls.

This course is run down and not worth the money they charge. For $60 you’d think they could water the grass. Greens were good though.

Good times!

Boulder Oaks is known for being a mellow fairly easy course. I enjoy the course during the week. The greens played slow and were nice, and in great shape. The 3rd hole was closed for renovation which kind of bothered me but they have a bonus 19th hole par 4 which made up for that. Our cart battery died on the 11th just after tee off. I called the clubhouse. We let 3 groups through and the clubhouse brought us a new cart. After that we had no one behind us. At the end of the round packing up in the parking lot I noticed I didn’t have my wallet. It was left in the dead cart and the clubhouse had it. That’s never happened to me before. Fantastic service from the staff at Boulder Oaks! It went from a great day of golf to a bad day right back to being a great day! Thanks Boulder Oaks I’ll be back. I can’t wait to take on hole #6 again!

Needs Some modernization

My son and I played this course for the first time Sunday 8/17. The course layout was really cool and tucked into a really nice community. The greens played and looked amazing, fairways could use some growth in many spots really dry and missing grass. The Sprinklers were on and made it a little bit of a hassle while trying to play. The golf carts for sure were old and outdated and we had to swap carts at the turnaround due to a low air rear tire, also one closed hole due to maintenance. Very friendly staff at check in as well as at the snack bar and cart girl. For the most part very fun course played short so allowed us to work on irons and short game which we both needed. I thought the price was a little high for being an 3 out of 5 rating and under maintenance, however I will for sure look to come back and play in the future because it is a fun course with a good amount of difficulty.

Great for last minute golf

I thought I was going to lose more balls than I did. Must stay on fairways, this course can be a bit challenging. Needs a little more TLC!

Not for the price

I hadn’t been here in a few years. We paid $75 . To me, it’s not worth that. The course layout is pretty cool, but if you’re not in the middle of the fairway, or on the green, good luck finding your ball and getting a decent shot off after that.

2nd time a lot better than last time

Used Golf Now, but had to pay for cart.

I challenged myself to play better and reduced 13 strokes to hit a 77.

Played a lot better. No melt downs.

Greens are good, fairways and traps are ok.

Wet Greens and dodging sprinklers

Plays fast on a Wednesday morning. Greens were wet and in bad condition. May fairway sprinklers were running.
