The pace of play is horrendous. .. couldn't play the back nine due to the fact it took 3 hours and twenty minutes to play there front.. It's a shame that you'll need 7 to 8 hours to play a nice course.

Boulder Creek

I showed up early so I could hit balls early and comfortably get into my round that I was looking forward to playing. I get there and they said golf.now messed up offering the tee time because it would interfere with upcoming leagues. They said I had to go off right away to try to make the turn. So I understood their reasoning, but being trust into the round where I wanted to get ready was unfortunate. I played by myself because they sent out the others in my group already, which is fine. Loved the layout, great course!! The beauty of the course and the aesthetics were very impressive. After two holes played it stopped to a crawl-very slow. Reached the turn and starter said he couldn't get me out because of leagues. Negotiated for a rain check for 18 holes because of the inconvenience/bad tee time. I look forward to my next round there. The golf holes-very impressed.

The course is gorgeous, however the pace of play is slow and the greens have been covered in divots around the holes each time I’ve gone. In my opinion there are several courses within the area for similar prices with a higher quality of play.

No sand

This is a high end course and gets a lot of play. There were too many bumps on the green. However, the bunkers were UMPLAYABLE. This not acceptable. The Metropark courses here are in better condition.

Overpriced and overrated

Had high hopes for playing here for first time. Disappointed with cost vs course. Not worth $60 to have a course in poor condition and 5 1/2 hour round. Too many other courses that are a much better value. Sand traps were washed out and greens were in poor condition. Save your money and play a different course.

Haven't Played There In 1.5 Years..Return Wasn't What I Expected

They took out the back tee markers/boxes and I was in the 3rd group off on Sunday morning..took 2.75 hours to play 9 hours. General up keep of the course was lacking and I am starting to feel like the land is worth more than the golf course. Sad to see another good track go down the tubes.

Course was in great shape. Several elevations changes. Greens and fairways were nice. Definitely one of the best in NE Ohio.

I'm surprised people don't talk about this course more

I travel all over the State playing the top-rated public courses in Ohio and I think this one tops my list I believe it's better than the virtues and Stonelick Hills this course is an absolute treat it's got everything and more but that being said I definitely can understand the frustration other golfers have with the extreme long times and if you do not want to have a 5 or 6 hour round you've better be one of the first groups off we drove all the way from Columbus and I would do it again in a heartbeat do yourself a favor and play this course

BEWARE - 5+ hour rounds

Want to let you know up front that if you're playing on the weekend, get ready for a 5+ hour round.

The website says it. The scorecard says it. But why? But why does a round here have to be 5+ hours?

I have no idea but it is. Also the rangers are toothless when it comes to enforcing fast play.

How significant is this?

The front 9 was moving really good. One golfer in our group was +3 for the front 9.

We make the turn and -BAM- 20 minute wait on #10 tee.

More waiting on #11.

More waiting on #12.

You get the idea.

The same golfer that was +3 on the front 9 when we were moving? Shot a +10 on the back from all the delays.

The front took 2 hours to play. The back 9 took 3+ hours.

Oh, forgot to mention. Boulder Creek scheduled a scramble between 7-9am on a Saturday morning.

As much as I want to like the course, the pace of play is going to hold me back from playing it again.

Used to be phenomenal - not sure what happened

This is a great course and still is..However the maintenance of the course is very poor. I can sum it all up with - there are plastic cigarette disposal bins located on each tee box! Nothing says classy like that!

Not sure what happened - it used to be amazing and one of the signature courses in the area. But the lakes/ponds are filled with pond scum, the bunkers are unplayable - meaning there is grass and weeds growing in them (regardless of covid - they could easily be maintained before the day starts) The signature waterfall is rusted and an eyesore on the par three 7th.

Overall, it is still a great course and challenging layout - I just hope the maintenance of the course, or lack there of is temporary.

Keep it under the hole and sit back in awe of the views

I’ve never played Augusta but this course has some holes that had me think “is this Augusta freaking national?” Course is a tough track. Keep your ball in the fairways or be prepared to battle tree trouble. Elevations throughout make the views memorable and the greens are lightning fast with a lot of undulations. Must stay beneath the hole to give yourself a shot at one putt. We played at 6:54am and course had a lot of dew but expected at that time. Overall great track. Do yourself a favor and take in the view coming off of 16.

Pleasure

Came out from NJ and snuck away to play a round here. Beautiful course. Wish players would repair the wounds on the greens, but that’s not the courses fault.

Destination type course, friendly staff, nice amenities

This is a course we look forward to playing every year. We love the variety of holes and scenic views. However, after 4+ hours and only finishing the 13th hole, we finished our Sunday mid-afternoon round. Every hole was packed, we waited on every shot, and it seemed everyone else was waiting too. We were amazed at the number of balls marks that no one apparently tried to repair. This is a great course, and golfers should give it the respect and care it deserves. I wish the ranger had the authority to address and, perhaps, remove golfers who don't deserve to play such a fine course. Also, it may be helpful if management spread tee times more than they did yesterday.

Beautiful Course

This course had the nicest scenery, and the holes were still a good challenge. Super friendly staff, the place was clean and everyone followed the covid-19 guidelines and they have all the practice and training amenities you could want. Well worth the price and the pace of play was perfect. The restaurant/ bar was just as awesome. Couldn't ask for much more from a course!
