Boulder Oaks Golf Club

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.

If you like some elevation challenges and a hand full of blind spots, give this golf course a chance.

I always enjoy some challenge 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.

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.

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.

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.

Beautiful views! Course kept up very well. Some challenging holes. Good pace of play

I have played this course 4 or 5 times in the last month. This golf course has a ton of potential. A highlight was the greens. Most of the time they are very well maintained and very fast. However, on busy days they can get a little rough with people not fixing their divots or fixing them improperly.

The bunkers are inconsistent. Some are pretty firm while others are a little softer. The fairways are decent for a California course. My biggest complain is the tee boxes. Very few of them are level. A tip I would have is to play the blues. It does not add a substantial amount of distance, and the tee box is in MUCH better shape compared to the whites.

The layout of the course is also odd. The course used to be named Meadow Lakes. At some point it was bought and renamed to boulder oaks and as part of that transition the layout was adjusted. I am not sure if some holes were added, removed, or changed, but you can tell that the course is different from how it was built. I will say, hole 6 has an absolutely incredible view. That is a gem of a tee shot.

The practice facility also needs some work. The mats were in ok condition, but the practice balls are absolute junk. I was hitting flush shots with my irons and woods, but only getting about 60% of the distance, and it felt like I was hitting rocks. Very harsh feedback.

The pace of play is typically good, however I played on a weekend and it was severely backed up. It took us almost 4 hours to get through 13 holes. We often had 2 groups behind us at the tee while we waited for the fairway/green to clear. We decided to skip the group in front of us on 14, they had fallen about 1/2 hole behind the group in front of them, were taking 2-3 shots from the tee, spending several minutes looking for lost balls, not playing ready golf. The group in front of them was a 3-some and were also playing VERY slowly. There was no one in front of them for holes 16-18. I was very disappointed in the lack of a ranger to manage pace.

The bar & grill is pleasantly good. There could be more selection of draft beer, but the food is decent and fairly priced. You can usually get a $10 deal for a burger w/ chips & a domestic beer. You can upgrade the beer for $2 and upgrade to fries for $1-2 more as well. While not "cheap", the price was pretty reasonable. The burger is decent and the fries are not bad.

All-in-all, if you can play this course for $25 or less I think you are getting a good value. If they cleaned up a few things (like the tee boxes), this could be a great course.

I booked my round via Golfnow and apparently Matt at the pro shop took offense to me saving some money even though I chose his course to play at. I arrived early purchase a large bucket of range balls and completed practice and checked in with the starter who said he would start me and work me in as soon as he could. But... Matt called ahead and told him not to let us start until our tee time at 12:37. It was only about 11:15 and even though the number one tee was wide open and groups of two were starting Matt was still going to make us wait until our tee time over an hour away.

Pace of plkay was lousy today. I signed up for a full round and only got 13 holes in. I started at 1:45 and think I should have finished my round. There was a foursome in front of us that played the red, white, and blue tees. And apparently below average players that ruined our game. I would think that the club would monitor this better.

Lots of fun.. Have to be pretty accurate off the tee or bring lots of balls.
