Cimarron Golf Club - Boulder Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Cimarron's Boulder course is desert in location, but almost links in feel. It's hard to imagine even the most beer-cart-fueled hacker thinking they're in Scotland. Considering the bright sun, the striking San Jacinto Mountains and all. But …
"We've had many golfers tell us it reminds them of the British Open," head pro Jason Janke said. "For what we have in the desert, this is probably the closest course to that."
At 6,782 yards from the back tees, Cimarron challenges with length and accuracy. It's wise to keep your ball in the fairway here or you'll get some up-close desert views. Still with three par 4s over 450 yards and two par 5s over 560 yards, bombing away with your driver is anything but completely ignored.

good conditions good value
the course is in good shape after a big down pour the day before. good value considering this time of the year. very forgiving course with little water. nothing spectacular holes pretty straight forward with wide fairways.

Once is enough.....
So, My wife and I have played all over the desert, and finally decided to play the Boulders. we check in....all good....We talk to the ranger.....says he's leaving because it's a light day for golfers....we tee off and are cruising until we meet group one....Play 2 holes behind them and clearly we were pressing them...So drive by to the next hole so they could enjoy the day,,,,Then we roll up on a sixsome....press them and then drive by again...this group is related to staff and playing for free....goood dudes but we want to play....lastly we roll up on a foursome that's playing a 2 man scramble... slow and awful...we drive by them as well...bottom line it plays like a Muni, is managed like a Muni and
offered zero reason to play it again.

Great views, course is a little patchy
Fun course with great views. If the winds are up it is super difficult. Greens are nice, fairway and tee box have some lumpy patches. Overall good value compared to other similarly priced courses.

Cimarron Golf Course- Boulders
Overall a good experience. Course seemed to be in good shape. A few of the tee box markers were set on uneven surfaces, number 17 for example we had to step back and tee up well behind the markers to avoid having one foot above the other. Not sure why you’d ever place markers that way. Staff were great and food service was good. The beverage cart person drove up the middle of the fairway a few times instead of the cart path. Thought that was odd. Look forward to playing the Pebble course someday.

Shotgun start group put out just ahead of us
We should have had time to get the full 18 in with a 12:15 start time. But they made us wait for a shotgun start group. We could have started on #6 and bypassed them but they wouldn’t allow. So we had to wait on every hole. Sometimes 2 groups on the tee!!! So, by 4:35 we were on #16 when I had to pack it in with darkness approaching. Too bad because it’s a good course in great condition.

Pretty basic layout
Course layout was pretty basic. All the holes run parallel back and forth. I don’t remember one dog leg. The course was well maintain with a nice back drop

I would play it again
I would play it again..says it all. There are a few hiccups that were caused by Hurricane Hilary.. such as not playing out of the wash & many small rocks in many bunkers.
Staff was friendly & helpful
