good shape but tough. bring plenty of golf balls
greens were very good- fairway green and as were the tee boxes
Blue tees: 5050 yards and black 6100. but many of the shots were blind
desert landscaping and if you were off fairway by 10 yards - lost ball.
you needed to be straight as most fairway were tight
challenging little course
will play again
Fun course
First time playing here and I must say for only being 6200yds from the tips this course is tough and fun to play. Greens were in good shape and pretty quick, especially down hill and there are a lot of down hill putts. The greens are small and fairways tight so accuracy is key here. I hit mostly 3 woods off the tees as holes are short and about being in play.
Lots and lots of bunkers and most of them had good amounts of sand in them and the holes are fun, very very fun with beautiful views from everywhere. You’ll hit every club in your bag and the back 9 has some lengthy holes which will challenge every golfer.
Staff was super friendly and what you want when you play somewhere.
I’ll be back.
Black Friday
Course was supper packed and played extremely slow. Our tee time was scheduled for 12pm. We did not end up teeing off until 12:37 pm. The course as in good in shape and the greens were nice, but was just super slow. Then there was a group of 5, who slowed down the course the last few holes.
Better
The course is steadily improving and we found it a fun track. Staff very friendly. Back nine especially nice, no waits, and good value. Will come again.
Lots of changes....
Hadn’t been to the course in about 6 months.....hip replacement surgery....
Lots of changes, and re Orientation......quite pleasant.
Course continues to be in better shape...
Thank you....see you soon again
what a difference a week makes
Played here last week and the conditions where pretty good. Played again today and they must have had a tournament or something. The greens where tore up and the fairways where not as good as last week. This course can eat balls. Food is great but took longer than expected today. Still a great value and the pace of play is always good. Needs a few weeks possibly to get back to optimal conditions but I would still play here even with rough greens.
Tricky for first round
Golf now had a super deal for this course. Don't let the price fool you,this is a nice and challenging course. Best deal ever.
Significant improvement
Didn't play this course for 6 months. The course condition has been greatly improved and the layout has been rearranged in a good way. The old hole No. 1 is now No.hole 12 which is extended from par 4 to par 5. The blind tee shot on hole No. 10 is challenging for Blue and Black tee. You have to put your ball at the middle of the fairway, otherwise you may easily lose your ball. Fun course to play.
What a Gem, I’d like to keep it secret.
Suggested by my cousin as a good meeting point this little track is sure to deliver. I started my day with a burger from the cafe and it was awesome. Fresh ground beef hand made patties, fries where excellent $10, can’t beat it. The course is hidden behind a mountain and surrounded with nice homes. This is so far out of the way it’s hardly played. We where able to play as fast or slow as we wanted. We teed off at 11:30 and had nobody in front or behind for at least an hour. The course is challenging from the black. It’s nice and green, the fairways are in good shape, greens are really nice and tight. The bunkers are a joke and the tee boxes are totally soaked in some areas. This is what makes this course fantastic though. It’s not perfect, it’s not close to anyone, it’s $25 on golf now and it’s absolutely magnificent for $25. The value is there, the ability to actually enjoy a course and even tee off a few balls becuase nobody is waiting. The layout is a little wacky and they have a cheesy range but this will be a regular stop for me. It’s everything you need to have a feel good day of playing golf. Price, beauty, good food, no people, powerful carts and a bit challenging from the black for an average golfer with some power. Go for it, this is a neat place
Love this place
The best rates and the course always gets better and better. Great staff too!
Has Improved a lot!
Boulder Oaks, formerly Meadowlake, has improved a lot since its' turf reduction "make-over." The lay-out is a bit quirky, but can be fun and challenging. Greens are in great shape and run fast, especially on some of the more undulating greens. What it lacks in distance, it can make up for in shot making and putting. At $15 on Golfnow, it's an extraordinary value!
Nice course!
Been years since I last played here. I like what they’re doing to the course. It’s a bit shorter course, but it was fun. If you’re use to teeing off the blues, do black instead
Good morning and thank you for playing Boulder Oaks Golf Club, the Hidden Jewel of Escondido. Playing from the Black Tees is a great challenge, as its approximately 1000 yards longer than playing from the Blue Tees. Our course maintenance is finished and course is near 100%. We look forward o seeing you in the near future.
Good morning Danajedrey,
Thank you for playing Boulder Oaks Golf Club, the Hidden Jewel of Escondido. We hope to see here soon and check out our Oaks Bar weekly events like Friday Nite Live w/ a different band every Friday.
Good for Twilight
Should be the home of the GPS open for the first few holes. Really needs better signage for tee boxes. Finding the first hole was a chore along with the tee boxes for the first few up till the 6th tee. A bit on the short side so a 100 +/- slope rating from the whites is sensible. A lot of holes are real ego boosters like the downhill par 4 18 that is drivable. Need to keep it in play though as much of the area outside of the fairways are hardpan or disappear into rattlesnake country. Interesting time going 4x4 on the way to some tees in carts. Otherwise good value at $20 for twilight so can't complain.
Play this course quite often. The conditions were not normal due to over seeding. It was cart path only but no big deal still had a great time. Pace of play was great just over 3 hours for the round. Play as golf now patron all the time and have found the staff very friendly and no problems getting out ahead of time if the course is open. It is a short course but we always have a great time playing it.
Re-seeding
Wish they had announced advisory on re-seeding the entire Golf course before I booked. Driving was only allowed on the cart paths. Somewhat challenging with elevation changes, narrow fairways.and lots of blind spots. Most greens were well manicured.
These people do not welcome Golg Now patrons!!
While the course is getting better and better under new management the management does not welcome Golf Now patrons. Yesterday I arrived about an hour early and was told to wait because they had teamed me up with another Golf Now patron due in an hour or so. There were no other golfers in the lot or clubhouse. When I asked if I could just go I was told no because I "did not pay the same as their regular patrons". After almost an hour they finally let me play......alone since the other Golf Now patron was a no show. This is the second time (the other a couple of months ago) they have done this to me.
I had the same experience and the person I was paired with had to leave early so I had to drive him back to his car.
Won't Play Again
Tee boxes were not in good shape, the fairways were all burned out and there was too much waste area where you ended up hitting off dirt. I understand the idea of target golf and trying to save water, but with such a hilly, sloped course, you end up getting penalized for hitting good shots. Sorry, but I liked the old Meadowview better.
Thank you for coming out and playing Boulder Oaks Golf Club in Escondido. The Meadow Lake CC started its renovation about two years and reopened last year under the new name. The renovation was a program for turf reduction to reduce water usage. This time of year most, if not all, golf course go through their bi-annual course maintenance. We ever-seed the fairways and tee boxes and aerate and top-dress the greens with sand. These conditions could last anywhere from 2-4 weeks depending on weather. If all goes well, the course will be in spectacular shape by the end of October. Please come by and give Boulder Oaks Golf club another try.
The old course was Meadowlake not Meadowview and it utilized much more ground. Granted, this course needs some modification and work but it is rather new. Give it some time. And at $25.00 you can hardly complain
Thank you for your 5 Star review and we look forward to seeing you again.
Hello Terramarman,
Thank you for play Boulder Oaks GC, the Hidden Jewel of Escondido and for the 4 Star review. We have been working diligently on the course and now that our bi-annual course maintenance is finished, everyone can enjoy a great course. Hope to see you soon.
