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.

Not good

This courses was redesigned and everything is shoe horned into a smaller space. Upkeep of fairways and landscaping are poor. Clubhouse is a wreck. Very cheesy atmosphere.

Needs work

The layout of the course is fine. But with all of the washout and overgrowth, in areas around the course it could use a lot of TLC, but once that is taken care of it could be a great course.

Getting better.

Tee boxes and some fairways still rough around the edges, but overall improvements have been made versus previous years. Greens usually in good shape. Didn’t help my last impression of BOGC that our cart stopped dead on the 15th tee last time out. But we did get a refund.

Rip off

Paid for 2, each with a cart, was forced to only have 1 cart. No change in price. Staff was disrespectful and inconsiderate. Paid for 1:20 tee time, didn't tee off till 1:50

Absolutely horrible, stay away from this course!!

Barely a golf course

Total waste of time and money. Didn’t hit a fairway all day....because there are no fairways! Goat ranch. Greens were kept nice but everything else was terrible. Tee boxes were often like a fairway bunker. Wait time was ridiculous!! Starter tried to make our threesome a “fivesome”. Was told they regularly group fives and sixes which make tee boxes stack up with waiting groups three deep. 6,hours to play a crap, short, course. We won’t be back.

Fun, but in terrible shape

No sand in bunkers, tee boxes are trashed, and just in bad shape. I paid less than $30 so it wasn’t all bad.
