Worth your time

I almost didn't go to this course because the reviews were so bad, but I'm so glad I decided to check it out for myself! The greens were lush and perfectly maintained, and the fairways were in fantastic condition. The tee boxes were also well-kept, making for a smooth and enjoyable round of golf. The staff was friendly and accommodating, adding to the positive experience. Plus, they give you a $1 beer with your receipt – what a great bonus! Overall, this is a 5-star course, and you should definitely ignore the negative reviews. I'll be back for sure!

Good value, friendly staff

Course was in fair condition. Greens were too slow and soft for my liking. Some of the tee boxes were a bit rough. A lot of blind shots. It would be ok if I played it again. Not many golfers on a Monday so pace was great.

Course has changed a ton but still fun.

This place keeps changing every time we come out. The old layout was much nicer but this is still a fun place to play. The sand traps were horrible but the fairways and greens were just fine. The staff was cool and the bar and food area is really nice but seems as if they need to fix the place up a little to charge 60 bucks in the late afternoon.

Boulder Oaks

I got a deal for this teatime on a Sunday afternoon I brought along my son who is 12 years old and he got a chance to participate close range to the greens and to putt. He had an awesome time. The guy at the pro shop was very accommodating and helpful when we arrived. Overall, the layout is fun and challenging, the only thing I would suggest to have a little better signage on some of the holes, especially for people that have never played the course before. Had a great time!!!

What a dump

This course was once a hidden gem, it’s now a pile of garbage. Unfortunately it’s been mismanaged into the ground, no course maintenance, jacked up tee boxes, bad greens and a higher green fee than courses nearby that are way better. Save your time and money and play somewhere else.

Fun Course - If cheaper, would be the perfect round

The course offers moderate difficulty with a challenging Par 3's, a decent amount of Par 4's and generous Par 5's. The weather was perfect and nature surrounded us the entire round, however it was a bit backed up with golfers as tee times are a bit too close together IMO. However, when the sun came out, and the greens dried out from the morning dew, it was a fun round. If the course lowered its price by 15-20 dollars a round, due to the course condition, I would say I got the most bang for my buck. But until then, I will continue looking for deals on this course through golf now.

6 Hours!

Our round lasted 6 hours!! That's crazy. If you like narrow fairways and up and down, this is the place to be. The holes are mostly short. The course is not in good condition

WORST COURSE EVER

Save your money, turn around and walk away. RUN BACK TO YOUR CAR!! The course layout has been butchered by a real estate developer. and is completely convoluted. The traps are overgrown with weeds and one trap in particular was half full of tumble weeds from a storm 5 weeks earlier. The signage is a joke. And it is about 800 yards shorter than what the score card reads.
