Interesting little course

I am a 18 handicap women and we played blue tees. Some of the carries off the tee were a bit long and the greens were a bit slow. Enjoyed playing the course and would recommend to others.

Beautiful day

Even with some greens punched the course is in very good condition. Some of the tee boxes need some care.When making the turn to #12 I found that 3 groups elected to start on #12. It put a kink in pace of play, but made the best of it.

Good novelty course, some poor conditions

Going out at 6:45am as a single was nice, and gave me time to look at the course. Some interesting holes, 4 horrible punched greens, and yardages that were inaccurate. I played the blues and should have played black for more challenge. The difficulty lay in the lack of knowledge of some of the holes, and poor direction on the course. The par 4's were almost drivable, which allowed me a good chance to score, and the yardages on the tees did not seem accurate, having overshot some greens, so I relied on my own evaluation. For $23 can't complain since I hit well, but it's only a novelty course if you want to score. The non-punched greens rolled true and were nicely fast though.

Bolder Oaks

This is a good course to play with your wife or son/daughter. It's affordable and not very long. A lot of the holes have blind shots, which is sort of ok.

The course is in fair condition, some of the traps need attention (clean the weeds out). If you use a GPS device be warned that they seem to have shifted the holes around. It was out by 11 (eleven) holes, (not 9).

poor time to punch the greens

we had a back up on a Sunday at 115 because the mgmt decided that was a good time to punch the greens as the course was busy. We had to wait on numerous holes while the greens keepers were either still punching or were blowing the green. 3 1/2 hours later on hole 11 we were asked to jump back to hole 1, where we could golf as many front 9 holes as we could get in. We usually enjoy this course. Just frustrated with their choice of timing.

Always love playing here

The main reason I always play here once a week is the fact that they let my dogs ride in the cart with me. They just sit there and ride along and love it! Hard course too so when you play at a more forgiving course you kill it.

For $20, Course was comparable with price

Greens were good as long as you are familiar wilh slopes on hilly courses, fast downhill and slow uphill. Fairways decent and there were no sand bunkers on the course just dirt bunkers (would make great vegetable gardens) Many blind tee shots with no means of checking group in front. Overall, you get what you pay for.

Boulder Oaks is Back

I used to play this course almost every Monday when I had that day off. It was Meadowlake then. Loved it. After the remodel I was a bit disappointed. But they have fixed a few holes and it's shorter now, but the fun and challenge is stil there.

I personally love this course. Never gets old, never gets boring. GO PLAY IT.

Interesting course with some beautiful views.

My husband and I played Boulder Oaks on March o1, 2018. We really enjoyed the course. My husband was challenged with the links style longer tee boxes and I enjoyed the more forgiving forward tees. The greens were very fast and some holes had beautiful views from elevated tees.
