Golfer Reviews
Short but in great condition.
First time playing there since the renovations, course is in great condition, but too short. Some of the part 5s are basically par 4s.
Best value
The rates for this course makes it the best bang for your buck. Course is challenging and a wide variety of holes with different features. I will definitely be coming back
Unique layout
This course has been redesigned I was told. It shows up in a variety of ways. 3 consecutive par 5s which is a first for me. Par 32 front. Par 38 back. This wont be everyones cup of tea. A number of blind tee shots. A number of sloped fairways. If you are iffy with your driver bring a bumber of extra balls. That said if you can hit straight 3 woods or 5 woods or long irons. The course is not long. Accuracy trumps length significantly with this course. Fairways are so so. Greens are very good and fast. Want to be below the hole. Prior Course knowledge would be very helpful. I will play again when I am in the area.
Decent Course!
Went and played...greens are in excellent shape. Course is somewhat short, but challenging and fun. I'd definitely come back. Tough to lose balls here which is nice.
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.
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.
