Hidden Meadows Gem

Course layout gives challenging targets and test your skills. Pay attention to the green tiers and fairway slopes.

Great price for the mid-week golfer.

Fun day of golf

If you are looking for a fun day of golf, consider Boulder Oaks. Staff was great and course is in good shape, when you stay on it. Natural landscape off the course or when you duff your drive...it is rough, as expected.

Course conditions

The staff was very friendly. The problem is with the course conditions. The fairways are pretty bare with hardly any grass on them. The bunkers are just dirt. The greens are not smooth at all. For the price I would try somewhere else.

a litle dissapointed

i have played this course many times and the last 2 times ive played here they charge an extra $6 because i play as a single. the advertized prices are like $32 to walk and $39 to ride. so why is it $45 for me? the price range on this websight should be $32 to $45 for a single.

A Course for Practice, Not Serious Golf

The tee boxes and fairways are very rough which is evident as a player drives a cart down a fairway. Too many gopher and ground squirrel holes and weeds align the golf course. It is a green course generally with the best playing conditions on the greens only, but not around the greens. The slope of greens and pin placement can be very challenging. It would help tremendously if fairways and adjacent rough areas were weeded. Tee boxes, fairways and adjacent grounds are in need of serious repair. Carts are older and lack windshields which is a problem as many times cart paths are dirt and leave the following carts in a cloud of dust. I would only play as we did because we got the round for $25 plus a $10 dollar cart fee per person.

Golfing with gophers

Hey golfers there is a course in North County that is the breeding facility for all the gophers raised for distribution throughout San Diego co. The course is also not ashamed of charging you as much as a real golf course charges for an experience on unmaintained fairways, bunkers and tee boxs...avoid Boulder oaks until they spend money on maintenance....

SLOWWW - JERSEYS & JEAN SHORTS

We played here on Sunday morning at 9:36 am. We didn't tee off until almost 10 am. The group of 5 in front of us were wearing NFL jerseys and jean shorts.

Do not waste your money and more importantly your TIME!

Overpriced. $65 for this course?!?

Horrible conditions. Fairways are literally dirt & weeds.

SLOW. Took 5.5 hours to finish. Waste of a day.

Rude staff.

Could be a nice little course, but they clearly don't invest in the course conditions and overbook tee times. 2-3 groups waiting on every par 3.

I've played here 3-4 times this year and it's the same way every time.

I'm done giving this place the benefit of the doubt....

They let groups of 5 play

I guess they are struggling financially because they jam the course and the pace of play is almost unbearable. Had a group of 5 two holes ahead of us and had us waiting every shot.

Good value

If you want to play an inexpensive round on a nice course try this. Some ratings were not very kind. I found it to be a good challenge albeit some fairways need some love.. The greens were in good shape and the staff was very friendly and helpful. I’d play here again.

Boulder Oaks

Staff is super friendly. Tee boxes and fairways are in good condition. Sand traps have no sand in them, and the greens were very hard. Would be nice to have some sand in the traps. You can't get a green divot and get the ball to stick with hard greens. Like the course layout and enjoy walking Boulder Oaks.

Waiting

How can it take almost 45 minutes to get a couple carts. Ruined the whole 18 due to getting dark fast.
