Usually Fun Not Today

Played here several times. Today the cart broke down. They said they would send somebody right out to us. That would have been fine. After 20 minutes still no cars in sight. We were playing with a handicapped man who needed a cart. I ended up jogging back and getting a cart. The pro shop was not willing to offer any compensation for our lost round because we had booked thru Golfnow Hotdeal. Problems happen no big deal just dont make the customer responsible the business problems.

Not as great as it once was.

The course is a shadow of it former self. If you don't hit the fairway you will be hitting out of unkept weeds. If you land in a bunker you will be hitting out of a mix of DG and weeds. It's really a shame this course has been let go. For the price, it really isn't worth the money. Since the remodel this course has steadily gone downhill. This is my second time playing since the remodel and I was even very disappointed in the sate of the course.

Disappointed

I was really excited to play this course after the reviews. I was highly disappointed. The course was not well kept. Hole 2 greens were in terrible condition. Most of the course fairways were dead and riddle with gopher holes. Cart paths were very confusing. Pace of play was great with 18 taking only 3.5 hours. Staff was super friendly as well. All of the sand traps were over grown and not taken care of properly. The holes if you hit even slightly off the fairway you were in hard rocky areas. No roughs. The worst condition of a course I have ever been to. Will not go here ever again.

Return to Boulder Oaks

First visit back since the re- design or elimination of the former 10,11 and 12th holes. The new layout is a little odd since you make the turn at where the 8th hole used to be but if you’re playing 18 holes it works with a quick stop for refreshments after the 11th hole. It was a busy day but the course played well and the pace of play was running about 5 hours but didn’t seem that long. Some really great holes ( 4, 6, 8,13,14) and the rest are good. Greens were in great condition. Staff is friendly and welcoming

. Overall A great value when compared to the JC courses and I’’d recommend giving it a try. I’ll be back.

Charged wrong price

I had a tee time reserved for 6:37am today

That totaled $30.60, when I checked my bank statement they had actually charged me $45.00.

We appologize for the confusion here. You purchased a walking round online and requested a cart upon arrival. The 45 dollar fee is your round with a cart. Hope you enjoyed your time here and that this comment clears up any issues you may have had!

Greens are in great shape

Course was really fun. Greens are in great shape and fairways were good. Just wanted to address that there is a difference in price between what golf now advertises and what you actually pay when you show up. Still a great bargain. Will play again

Day at Boulder Oaks Golf Club

The course played harder due to the over grown rough. Some tee boxes needed to be cut.down. two temp holes that were moved up and made into a par 4 that was a five, and one par 4 that was now a par three. The greens were decent and roll nicely. All and all still well worth the amount that you spend to play here. If you like playing fast this may not be the course for you. People are sent out about every 8 minutes.

Overcharging

I paid my fee online and had an amount left to pay at the course. When I arrived, I was told the amount left to pay didn’t matter because that was a walking fee. I had about 26 dlls left and when I got to the course, they charged me 39. I advised of the amount left and was told that the amount left was for walking, the total for the course was 39. So I had to pay 13 dlls for the cart I guess when the sign posted on the desk stated 5 dlls. There needs to be accountability for the prices.

Boulder Oaks is getting bettrr

Played today and feel that the greens are in good shape but the pin placements were for PGA qualifying. Shot 75 and had three bogeys and a double.

Once the bunkers have sand back in them and the second cut of rough had been cut the course is really fun to play.

Needs work and Supervision

The course is currently in poor shape. The fairways are dry and spotty and the weeds are out of control, greens are also in need of work. BO was my go to course and its unfortunate that it has been allowed to deteriorate, I played several other local courses last week and they were in great condition. We had a group of 6 in front of us, drinking and playing loud music, not a great experience!!

Give them a few weeks to clean it up

Greens are good, but that's about it right now. Tee boxes are at least an inch long. Fairways long as well. I lost so many balls today in spots they would usually be visible. I'm sure they're catching up as fast as possible. This is usually one of my go-to courses

A Hidden Meadows Gem

I think they have some of the best GREENS in SD. They have been working in the course everyday during close. The greens are better than ever. A short course (6100) but great views and some really great holes. One hole is huge downhill par 3 (157) with views of snow capped San Gregornio AND Mt Baldy!

Called course 2+ hrs before T time regarding check in process & to see if open. Told check in was as usual, but kitchen closed. No biggie. Arrived at course 20 min b4 T time. Clubhouse locked, no one there, no info posted. Several other golfers in parking lot. I left & drove back home. Some played anyway. Overall rating? -2 Stars: wasted BOTH my time & money. "Chicken" can be substituted for the letter "B" in the review title. "How often do you play?" Here? LESS THAN ZERO
