Boulder Oaks Golf Club

The greens, fairways, and rough are in good shape. The bunkers are hit and miss but it looks like they are slowly bringing in fresh sand. A great deal for the price.

The “decorative” white sand bunkers are a mess largely because they were placed on hills with the greatest view angle but greatest runoff. This was an expensive and unfortunate architectural blunder but has no impact on playability.

The “desert landscape” areas are unkept in many places and this detracts from the experience of an otherwise beautiful golf course. Most notably, the hardpan surfaces on the steeper hills are filled with erosion channels. I think a great solution would be to plant sprigs of the clumpy and wispy grass that grows naturally along the side of the hilly road on the way up to the golf course. That stuff is perfectly suited for the hills and hidden meadows microclimate. It already grows nicely near the 5th tee box. It looks amazing in the spring and good all year round all while preventing erosion. I know the course has watering regulations resulting from the redesign but maybe the avoidance of soil running off into the public drainage channels could be basis for an exception. Once established it would require zero maintenance. From a golfer’s point of view, I’d rather lose my ball in that stuff then see it roll 60 yards down a hill. It would also justify the shorter than average hole distances.

The less hilly hardpan areas are becoming weeded. In my opinion, this should be left alone while the natural plant progression fills these in over time to match the surrounding natural area. Fighting nature on this one isn’t worth the cost. I’d make a few exceptions in the flatter areas where the nice landscaping worked.

Always pleasant, challenging, even though it’s short.....one of the guys did comment on the difference between the speed of the practice green and the course greens.....caused him to misread speeds, and not putt very well....

This is a very challenging course. It is tight and there is VERY little room for error. It is rather scenic. There are several holes that you can't see any fairway from the tee boxes so if you can get a tour and take some notes before you play, you'll score far better. The staff was very friendly and accommodating.

This is a great course to go if you just want a nice relaxing round. Some very nice holes with scenic elevation changes.Front nine a nice easy par 32, back nine more challenging par 38. Give it a try, I think you'll like it!

Course is butchered due ro redesign. Makes for incosistent layout from whites creating really short holes. Tee boxes are intimidating even.from blues. Landing areas challenging. Prior course knowledge a plus. Leave driver in bag for most. Course is work in progress. Greens and fairways in good condition. Great value.

Fairways and roughs are fine and greens are exceptional. I am new to golf and love boulders oaks. 10 bucks for a replay!

Nice tight little course. Lots of options from the tee and many blind shots. Never had SW into a par 5 before! Will definitely be back. Best price in town.

Enjoyed the round. The owners have been working very hard it seems, to create a quality course. Greens were in excellent condition, and the fairways played well. Need to keep it straight. Many narrow holes, and lots of opportunities for lost balls if you don't. Pretty much my home course. Give it a try.

I booked a threesome last week and when I showed up to the course, they informed me that someone was going to fill our 1 leftover spot. This is normal, what isn't normal is telling me that the extra person is riding in my cart, not a separate cart. So I got stuck the whole round sharing a cart with someone I didn't know when they had 12 carts there not being used. Horrible management. I have played here for years but won't be back after this owner change. Ultimately the cheapest move I have ever seen from golf course management.

The greens were fast and a pretty good shape. The fairways had been trimmed and mowed but they were pretty choked up up with all the clippings, hard to find your ball.

Staff was friendly, but there was no ranger and a very slow foursome in front of us, who did not let us through until the 13th hole. There was no one in front of them for the rest of the nine holes.

Fairways were in good shape; tee boxes and first cut of rough were shaggy; no sand in the bunkers; greens were in very good shape, but quite slow.

Food and bar were very good..

Course is in nice shape.....greens very smooth, pace of play was excellent....

A nice day of golf....

Course played quickly, was in as good a shape as I have seen it the past few years.....

Greens were particularly nice....

I think we got lucky with a foggy morning, there wasn’t anyone close to us. I didn’t bring a jacket so the guy in the pro shop let me borrow one. Everyone’s just really nice there, and the course plays better the 2nd time when you know the layout.

This was my first time playing this course I played from the black tees there are several blind shots from these tees and long carries 250+ yards because of the cut back fairway areas the course is in fair condition the greens are nice they hold well fairways are OK do tee boxes are good I recommend playingFrom the blue or white tees if it is the first time playing this courseIf you are over an eight handicap

Enjoy playing here.

Last half is more challenging and exciting

First time playing this course and thank God we were paired we 2 others that had played it many times.... Course is narrow with alot of blind shots.... All the natural vegetation which is on every hole should be played as a lateral hazard and not a lost ball... In my opinion its just to narrow to play all the vegetation as list ball territory....
