17th hole par 5 Photo submitted by glovesb on 03/09/2015
Complete dump and embarrassing course
The course was a dump and the carts felt like the steering was loose, and the grass was long. The fairways,....wait.....what fairways....there wasnt any! Dont get me started on the greens. This was the absolute worse course ive ever played in my 22 yrs of golf. Not even kidding! I literally played 4 holes and left. I didnt even ask for a refund since i figure they needed money to pay the nice lady who was planting seed and showing some initiative in making the course better since no one else had pride in that course. And it showed. I left and went to delavega and played a beautiful course....for the same price. Please for the love of golf, if your read this, they have 300 yard par 5s, terrible greens with stuff and branches all over them. They dont even sweep them off (previous statement to prove no pride in their course). Not to mention, the cart paths are about the same age as their carts (worn beyond worn). My cart had an annoying squeal to it. I will never be back and i suggeest this course to NO ONE! Not even worth 10 bucks a round.
This course jumped to the top 5 public courses on my list in San Diego
I've used golfnow for years and this is the first time i'm compelled to write a positive review because it is well deserved! This is the first time i've played SINCE the renovations. I have to say, this course is bea-u-tiful now. The fairways and greens and bunkers are all well maintained. Greens rolled really well. They shortened the course, but tightened it to compensate. This became easily one of my favorite courses now. Greens have interesting undulations and many of the holes now offer risk and reward shots off the tee. Play here. Just fix your ball marks on the greens.
Good Value
Saw this course about 18 years ago and wanted to play it, no clubs. Played it today. Nice little layout, not real difficult. The course is in decent shape, have seen worse. It would be a course to play if you couldn't find anything else.. I paid $10 to walk it, I wouldn't pay much more than that. I have to say that the first 4 holes I played in the rain. I would play this course again only if I could get the same price. I had a hamburger and fries after the round and they were very good.
great to get out
The course was in good condition. I played my round under 3 hours ,. And the staff was very nice and thoughtful .
Good for the short game
Nice place to bring a beginner
Enjoyable course
Short, narrow, beautiful and fun course. Very friendly and helpful staff. Greens not in best of shape, but you're in a redwood forest (which often saves your errant shots by ricochet your ball back in the fairway).
Play the woods
Great course for the buck. Needs attention to improve cart paths. Carts are getting too old like me.
This course needs help
This course needs updating in so many ways. Some of the tee boxes don't have grass, nor tell the yards from red or white markers.
Lots of tree debris on greens, the flags look worn out. Even the golf carts need updating.
This course is worth the twilight price, not the full price of $39.00.
Hello, we appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the teams in charge so they can work to make changes. Thanks for visiting Boulder Creek Golf & Country Club. We hope you'll give us another try in the future.
Short but challenging
Boulder Creek is a narrow and challenging course in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Par 65 is quite manageable if you are straight. Beautiful setting.
Fast pace at Boulder Creek
I played the course in a little over 2 hours on a Friday morning - amazing. The conditions were foggy and wet and the fairways and greens were in moderate conditions. The mountain views especially on the back nine are spectacular. Overall a very enjoyable round.
Good way to start the day.
I live within 15 minutes of the golf course. With the beautiful Redwoods all around, it's a great was to have an early tee time, get in a quiet 18, then start my day working at a local horse ranch.
Guest
The pace was great but the course was in poor shape. The greens were bumpy and diseased.
Great course
I love Boulder Creek GC. Challenging course...you must be able to hit it straight!
Good pace of play and worth the drive up into the mountains.
Fun Mountain Gold
Fun course, short but narrow, not quite as easy as you might think. Compared to some of the other courses around, this one is fun, rarely crowded and plays pretty quickly.
Not so great a place for food before or after a round. No practice faculties before you tee off
Blossoming beauty!
Fun track! Great people working there. The course was healing from a large degree of maintenance and changes but it is growing into a great course to play with your friends!
Excellent location-Bring Extra Balls or Stay on the Greens
The weather was slightly warmer than San Jose. Took only 45 minutes to get there. Since it's spring, many of the white grass flowers were in bloom. Of course that made finding your ball more difficult which took extra time. The grass on the greens were not trimmed enough for the amount moisture on the grass. Instead of the ball rolling to a spot it hopped and hid itself easily in the rough which as you can see made the the game much more leisurely. We started at 9:30 and ended at 2:30 with a 20min break between 9th and 10th. 4.5 hours for 18 holes. Although it is a good course-
Santa Cruz mountains and redwood trees
I recommend Boulder Creek golf course because every visit there results in a beautiful experience. The golf is good with redwood trees lining the fairways giving every hole a challenge and opportunity. Santa Cruz county friendly.
Great Day of Golf!
Look if you're looking for a master course this is not it! This is a great little corse that is well maintained, as best it can in the middle of a forest on the top of a mountain! The scenery is beautiful and there are a handful of hole that will both frustrate you and make it all worth while!
So far, worst experience
It is a beautiful location. But the course was an awful condition. Carts had to stay on the path the whole way around. You could lose your ball in the middle of the fairway. It was by far the worst experience I've had a boulder Creek golf club
Course was too damp..
As the course has too much water even on the fairway, it's very hard to retrieve the ball even we were right on...
Otherwise the course in general is pretty good for the money we paid ($1/hole)...
I am the golf shop manager at Boulder Creek. This person would have been issued a refund if he had returned to the pro shop. This review was posted in January during which we received 50" of rain. He was told the conditions before he paid and could have opted out. As far as his description of the course, yes it was virtually unmowable in January which (as noted above) was explained to him before he paid. We do not have 300 yard par 5's. The shortest par 5 is 410 yards. This is a par 65 executive course that measures 4396 yards. One should not expect 500 yard par 5's on an executive golf course.
