Golfer Reviews
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.
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.
Won't play there again
I have played this course before and really liked it. Since then they have changed the whole course by renumbering the holes and they added a driving range. The two nines are completely lopsided with no par 5s on the front and 4 par 5s on the back nine, 3 of those par 5s are in a row. The course was very dry, especially the tees. We all had great difficulty putting the tee in the ground because it was so hard. The last time I played this course is was very green, I enjoyed playing it and was shocked when I played it yesterday. I won't go there again and won't recommend it to anyone.
Hello Mr. Johnstas,
First I wanted to thank you for this very important review. During this time of the year all golf courses go through their course maintenance; we are in the prepping stage as we get ready for over seeding and aeration. Many Bermuda-grass courses go brown and are overseeded with ryegrass(a cool season grass), where overseeding is a six-week process that takes place this time of year. Conditions change
2-3 weeks before overseeding, we dry out the Bermuda, creating firmer and faster conditions. Now that Bermuda has gone dormant, we start to overseed. After the overseeding, the ryegrass then gets drenched with water. The greens will be punched and top dressed with sand. Approximately 2 weeks after the course maintenance, the course will have great tee boxes, plush fairways and true rolling greens. We anticipate these conditions starting October 20, 2017 and we hope to see you then.
Frozen tee boxes
Doesn’t look like the course has been watered for a month. I seriously needed a hammer just to get the tees into the ground on 90% of the tee boxes. The staff is amongst the friendliest in all of San Diego. I drive about 100 miles round-trip just to play this course. Someone please let me know what’s going on thank you
Great Sunday
The course is in very good condition and additional work is in progress to improve other areas. Fairways are very good and the greens are also. Tee boxes are being seeded.
Limited markings
First time playing this course and not to many yard markers or clearly marked tees but all in all fun time.
Hello Chris,
Thank you for coming out and playing Boulder Oaks Golf Club. We are working hard to get some of our large projects done, e.g. the driving range and Hole #12. The next time time you come and play the yardage markers will be completed and freshly painted so they are visible. We are currently prepping the course for our bi-annual course maintenance which will begin October 9th. We look forward to seeing you soon.
First time since makeover.
Pleasantly surprised. Fairways very good and greens also. Enjoyable round.
Hi dsullivan16,
Thank you for your 4 Star review. We are striving to be one of the best courses in North San Diego County! We hope to see you soon!
NEW COURSE LAYOUT
1ST TIME PLAYING NEW CONFIGURATION
TOO MUCH CUT GRASS ON FAIRWAYS
GREENS HAVE BEEN IN BETTER SHAPE
Hello Harbordude,
We want to thank you for playing Boulder Oaks Golf Club and providing important feedback regarding the course. with the weather we have been having, the grass is been growing so quickly. We are doing our best to keep up with cutting and sweeping/blowing the fairways. As far as the greens, we are preparing for course maintenance in the coming weeks. We will be aerating the greens and doing a light over seeding of the fairways and roughs. We expect after the maintenance the course will be impeccable shape with greens rolling 9.5-10 on the stimp meter.
Again thank you for your comments and look forward to seeing you soon.
Hi Michael ,
Thak you for the 4 Star rating. Hope to see you soon!
Enjoyed this course. Unfortunately the kitchen closed early and it was still early in the day. Not much to choose from for snacks.
Hi,
Thank you for your review and we;re happy to hear that you enjoyed the course. We are considering keeping the restaurant open a little later than usual for the football season, but we appreciate the feedback. Hope to see you soon.
First Time since remodel
Very impressed with changes. Its obvious management is making improvements and cares about this facility. Greens were very good as were fairways. I will return.
Hi dsullivan16,
Thank you for your review and taking notice of the changes we are trying to achieve. We hope to see you here more often and bring your friends.
Until next time...:)
Improved layout
My husband and I played in the afternoon. It had been months since we last played here. We noticed right away that the layout had changed. They have posted signs so that you can easily follow the layout. Before, there was an area we always were confused which way to go. They have it all marked now. Since we golfed in the afternoon, the pace of play was excellent. We finished the coarse in less than 4 hours. This course has drought tolerant landscaping with big boulders as hazards. We really enjoyed ourselves. They also have brand new carts. One improvement needed is to water the tee boxes. Many were very difficult to get the tee into the ground. Kudos for all the improvements.
Good morning ValleyPrincess,
Thank you for playig Boulder oaks and giving a great review! We are striving daily to improve course conditions. I'm happy to hear that you like the changes we are making. Another big change will be the opening of our Driving range Friday September 15. We look forward to seeing you again.
Undo the Redo
I have been playing the former Meadow Lake golf course for thirty years. My heart is broken when I go there now. They performed a turf removal redesign to save water and create some marketable resale land. I get that. But to me, the course has been vandalized. It looks as if someone sprayed graffiti on the Mona Lisa. It is unplayable and the cart paths are so bad you feel like you are on a Raiders of the Lost Ark ride at Disneyland. Very sad victim of the recession and a 7 year drought, and a very poor redesign.
Good morning daddyrick,
Thank you for your comments. We understand how you feel with the turf reduction, unfortunately with southern california drought, we are doing all we can to help save water. We are doing our best efforts to have the best tee boxes, fairways and greens On our project "to-do" list is to grade all cart paths and natural areas do to the heavy rains in early 2017. And with the new fleet of cart, driving carts paths have been much improved. We hope to see again.
Fun Track great value
This course has gained great character since the renovation. The turf reduction program and hole redesign changed the course for the better. Still has potential for improvement, however great track for the value. The brand new fleet of carts made the unimproved cart paths more forgiving.
Challenging
If you haven't played this, it will beat you up. It would help if the Tee's Has a diagram on the blind shots. I had not played here in 20+ years. I like this course a lot but to really enjoy it you need to have played it a few times. I am glad it is back; the employees are really friendly.
Thank you for the great review. We do love having a challenging course. Our friendly staff look forward to seeing you again.
Very Pleasant Round
Course itself is a mix of full length and short holes, redesigned from what it was as Meadow Lake. It requires all the clubs in your bag but no forced carries. Course conditions are excellent from tees through fairways to greens, and the bunkers are properly maintained with good sand. Playing here is a pleasant golf experience.
Enjoyed the course
Pace of play as excellent. Playedfrom the whites, should have played from theblues. We play here often. I like the new 12th. They are spending money on this course. We will be back.
Thank you Mr. LPeters for teh 4 Star review. We are working on he finishing touches on #12 and then extending 3 more holes to give all tees a bit more challenge. We look forward to seeing you soon.
Thank you Michael for the 5 Star review!! We look forward to seeing here at Boulder Oaks Golf Club. Next you will see a new fleet of carts and a new driving range (9.1)
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.
