Boulder Oaks Golf Club

This is a good track that is very poorly maintained. They should be ashamed to charge $50+ to play a course in such bad condition. Not to mention cart shortage & dead carts. This course used to be really nice.

Boulder Oaks was a horrible golf experience! We checked in and proceeded to get loaded into our very abused golf golf cart. We got range balls and was horrified by the condition of the driving range. We went to the #1 tee and discovered our first of many situations of not knowing exactly where we were going. The poor condition of the fairways and rough made it difficult to distinguish between the two. The bunkers were in really bad shape and many had grass growing. The one thing that was in good condition were the greens. We finished 18 and discovered the restaurant that was supposed to open at noon was now not opening until 1pm. We will never ever go back!

This course was in better shape than I expected because I had been told that it was in pretty bad shape. I'd say it was in pretty fair condition. It's a weird course layout. There are some really beautiful views from some of the tee boxes. The carts are pretty old and ours died on the 12th fairway, but they brought a new one out to us super fast. We didn't have anyone in front of us or behind us so the pace was awesome. The greens were exceptionally challenging but the course overall plays pretty short. For the price, I'd definitely recommend giving this course a chance.

Field was bad and dirty. Unorganized and the gap between the team front of us and behind us was like 5 minutes.

Tee time was 11 but we started at 11:25pm and took 5hrs to complete the course. Pay little more and try better courses nearby

Very welcomed place to play for all levels of play

If you like looking for your ball at least 8 minutes per hole, due to gopher holes, uncut rough, unpredictable roll or just plain not a fairway in sight, then go ahead and play. This is a joke for a golf course. Never again.

I usually don’t leave reviews, but after what I went through, I had to. Had a tee time for a foursome at 1:20 on a sat Feb 5 They were “short” carts and we didn’t get our cart until almost 2pm. Teed off on hole 1 only for the cart to die before getting to my ball. Walked back to get another cart and told my 2 buddies to just keep playing. My 2nd cart died before I could get to the last cart. I get out and start walking back a 2nd time , and there were my 2 buddies walking back because theirs died too. Yup - 3 carts in a row all on hole 1. Went to go back to get a refund and the manager was extremely rude. He (Mr. Kim?) Never apologized, and didn’t even want to give us a refund because we reserved through golf now. Was in SD on vacation and this ruined a half day. Horrible horrible experience.

I play Boulder Oaks a few times a month simply because it’s one of the few places in my area that has last minute tee times available… but there’s a reason for this.

The course conditions are mediocre at best. Greens are fine, but firm as a rock. My biggest issue with the course conditions is the amount of dirt just outside of the fairways. The rough is inconsistent patches of crab grass with an absurd amount of dirt and rocks. If they’d invest the money to lay down sod and build up the rough (AND WATER IT) then it would be a lot better.

Tee boxes are uneven. Fairways are VERY undulating. Luckily I’ve played here a few times so I know where to miss but some of the layout and holes are just laughable. Hole 7 for example… if you don’t land in the left rough or far left of the fairway, there’s a good chance your ball is going to kick all the way right and into the hazard or at least an unplayable lie due to all the crab grass and potholes around the rough/dirt areas.

I also don’t like the layout of the course. Par 32 front 9… Par 38 back 9 including THREE back-to-back-to-back Par 5’s to start the back 9. The 10th hole is a par 5 but plays like a Par 4 unless you’re playing from the Black tees.

They also need to buy new golf carts. The cart battery die incredibly fast and more carts have frame issues than not. Some don’t even have a plastic windshield!

Overall… I’ll continue to play here occasionally when I’m looking for an impromptu round, but I’ll always know what I’m getting myself into.

The burger / hotdog lunch specials are solid. The food is probably the best thing about this course in all honesty.

The course needs a ton of work and they were 30 minutes late with our tee time.

They sent people out with used carts with low battery charge.

Abandoned carts were left all over the course.

I thought I would get out of my comfort zone and play a track that I had not played for about 15 years. It took me 45 minutes to get their, When I did arrive, it didn't look anything like the last time I was their. The place looked shabby and used up. The staff was about the same. I wish I could tell you how the course looked, but I didn't even get to play. My tee time was at 2. When I got their they told me that they had a tournament, and that they wouldn't be able to get me out till after 3, if a was lucky. When I mentioned that I was playing twilight. Their answer was (well you weren't going to finish anyway). That did it. I just left. Bad service with bad attitude. Save your money, and your time. Play somewhere else.

Booked a 1220 tee time, and the cart guy laughed when I tried to get a cart around 12...told me they were 30mins behind, and how good that was compared to the usual. (1.5 hrs behind last Saturday)

Ended up teeing off at 1:10, and couldn't finish.

Bunkers have zero sand, and fairways are basically cut weeds. They keep the greens in great shape, and tee boxes are "ok". $53 to play that is a bit steep, but it seems rates are up almost everywhere.

I booked a last second 1:30pm tee time on golf now for for 29$ walking. Pro shop is interesting as the bar, snack bar, pro shop and restaurant are all in the same room. The starter was very friendly. The front nine plays much shorter that the back 9. The back 9 starts with 3 par 5’s in a row. You also don’t get back to the clubhouse until after the 11th hole. For a quiet club under 30$ I will absolutely play this course again.
