Need help with pace of play!

Not my kind of golf. Very slow pace of play, no marshal anywhere, dangerous blind shots. 5+ hour round on sunday afternoon. Quirky holes with very few level fairway approach shots. No thanks!

Improved. Fairway and green conditions got much better

Compared to couple of years ago, maintenance got significant improvements with more grass coverage in fairways. Some tee box still needs more attention ( one hole had range mat !!! ) Overall, this place is still acceptable

Couple things to note.

This is super short course with strange 19th hole to finish the round…. And driving range onsite still not yet acceptable level at all compared to other courses…

Good place to practice short irons in most holes

Quirky Good Challenge & Value

The layout is a little quirky since they reconfigured the course several years ago: 11 holes on the “front 9” and a bonus par 4 19th hole on the back. Despite that, it’s a fun challenge with many elevation changes, pretty landscape and views. The greens are in great shape. A couple of the par 5’s are short but bunkers and green slopes make them and other holes challenging. The staff is friendly, the carts and facilities are fine and they have a large bar. Worth your time and green fee for sure.

High Value, Rough Condition

The greens are fine and challenging. Fairways nice, too. There was a change in layout years ago and the cart path was not changed. There are a few places where the next tee is a complete mystery. Maybe some simple signage?? A dark, aging “clubhouse(?)” that we avoided. But a great value if you have the need for swinging the Driver.

The course is the worst we have played and we have played courses across the USA and Mexico and Hawaii. Hills to climb at every hole to get to the tee boxes , cart paths too far away from greens and tee boxes.. Get rid of your ground squirrel population as they are making the fairways very rough. We felt like we had driven across country in a covered wagon by the end of our round. Terrible first impression of the club house and parking lot, couldn’t drive up to the clubhouse u til someone told us to go back out and come around! By first sight that should have been our first clue to drop out and find a better course but we would have lost our money since we booked with Golf Now!! By far our worst experience in golf, very disappointing!

I'm not returning

While the staff was friendly, the course seem like it had a halfway decent layout, the pace of play and the management of the course was horrendous. We left at the turn. Done

Casual course

Arrived 5 minutes late because of bad Google maps directions, got right on no problem, no fuss. Course was in decent shape, fun layout if you play from at least the blue tees. Good for a cheap round, better than playing an executive.

Bad condition and tee times late by 45 minutes

This course is in very poor condition. The range mats haven’t been changed out in years and many of the range balls were cracked. They were 8 people registered for our tee time and they were running 45 minutes late. I won’t play here again.

Fun course to play

I’ve golfed her twice and have enjoyed it both times. The pace of play is good and the holes are challenging. It’s a good value as well. Would definitely recommend this course. Anyone looking to try something different locally.

Good with a deal

Got a good deal on Teeoff.com. Staff was very friendly, and some holes (more on the back) were beautiful. Apparently, though, the course was recently redesigned and, had we not been paired up with a local guy who knew the course, we’d have had no idea where to go—especially on the front. Paved cart paths were abandoned in favor of new dirt paths to the new tee box locations. Hard to know which direction was correct. The course also has 19 holes—different to say the least. There were some beautiful views along the way that made the experience, for the price we paid, worthwhile.

Course was closed and communicated nothing.

When I arrived, the course was closed. I called and they said this was due to weather but didn’t communicate that to people who had tee times.

I was charged for the round and told to go through GolfNow to seek a refund.

Boulder Oaks Hidden Meadows

Boulder Oaks has finally returned to pre-Covid conditions! I’ve lived here for 10 years and the course is better than ever! They roll the greens daily and continue to improve the course! The new Clubhouse Restaurant with its 7 Big Screen TV’d still has some of the best BBQ Brisket around! z hopefully they will get some new ballad for the driving range! You can see the ocean from the 5th green and several views of the snow capped Mt San Gregornio and Mt Baldy!
