way overrated!!

First time playing here. Pace of play was horrendous,no ranger, course conditions were very average to poor. Greens slow and bumpy, bunkers not maintained properly,fairways ok. Did not meet my expectations based on reviews and fellow golfers. Good layout, challenging as you want it to be.get rid of the back tees so chops do not play from there and slow down play. Disappointed overall, maybe try again in 2019

Not as great as last time

I was looking forward to playing this course. However, it looks like it has taken a beating. The greens are rough and putts bounce. It was incredibly disappointing. Doesn’t look like people fix their pitch marks. The place of play was also extremely slow. Took almost 5 hours as a two-some. Ranger wasn’t really doing anything to help. The snack shop was also closed when we made the turn and we never saw the drink cart on the back side. They either had an off day or It definitely seems like this place has gone down hill.

Never again...

Played this course my last trip to the Cleveland area about a year ago. Course was in OK shape but pace was terrible (5+ hours) back then. Tried again...MISTAKE! Course was in bad shape. Greens were trash. Balls marks everywhere and very bumpy. Greens were mowed but they did not cut new holes on green. Same pin position as the day before. Footprint minefield around the cup. None of the bunkers had been raked. Don't mind the fairway bunkers not being maintained but greenside should be done daily. Not to mention course played in just OVER 5 hours and 15 minutes. No ranger to maintain pace. Course is to hard for the average golfer. Save you $$ and time go elsewhere.

Awesome Staff!!

What a great course. The layout is absolutely amazing. This is by far my favorite course to come to. It is maintained expertly. The guys in the pro shop are friendly. The cart boys are amazing! They always will come up to my car at the bag drop to get my clubs and put them on a cart for me. Also they always clean my clubs after I play. Just a great all around staff and course. I highly recommend this course.

Beautiful facility

Great course for the most part. 8th hole layout was a frustrating setup. . Not able to get across fairway on cart anywhere. Ridiculous when they are trying to quicken pace of play . Greens on some holes were not great, very bumpy. Very nice facility and layout. Felt like they were trying to get as many ppl through as quick as they could Very friendly staff.

Amazing

I haven't played this course in almost a decade and I don't know why. This course is an amazing layout (other than #8) with great conditions and views. The greens complexes are wonderful, the terrain is used expertly, and everything is well maintained. They have worked to take some teeth out of the course, which is for the best because even still the course is very difficult. They had removed a lot of bunkers and all the tees were moved forward. Pace of play was fine, even though we were waiting on the 3-some in front almost every shot on back 9 we still finished in just over 4 hours. If you haven't been in awhile or are making a trip to Cleveland, this is a course you need to check out.

Challenging course in average condition

Played this course a couple of weeks ago and the conditions were much better than today. The greens were very inconsistent and maintenance was soaking the greens even though we got rain last night and are expecting more. Paid alot more than I usually do through GolfNow for course plus had close to an hour drive. In the future I will stay closer to home and play decent courses for much less.

great condition with true greens

Course was in great shape, maintained nicely with friendly staff. only questionable item was the condition of every green for the par 3's. Not sure if it was a maintenance issue with the lack of uncouth golfers not repairing their divots, but they need help. enjoyed the round overall and the beautiful layout.

way too slow

In 5 hours we only played 12 holes, by far the slowest golf I have ever played. We thought the course was nice but I do not have time for a 6 1/2 hour round. The course assistant manager said they are trying to get the time down on the weekends to JUST 5 HOURS. I think 4 1/2 hours is long enough .I liked the course but will never pay their prices for 24 minute holes with over 12 minutes between shots. If you want to speed up play you need to cut your rough down: I found 28 golf balls just off of the fairway in the rough, No one likes an Easter egg hunt on a golf course! Try making tee times every 12 minutes instead of 9 minutes apart. You have a great golf course it's just very badly mismanaged.

Challenging course in exceptional condition. Friendly staff

The course was more costly than I usually pay on Golf Now. I kept hearing great things about the course so I finally played it. The greens and fairways are in excellent condition. It was hard to tell the signature hole because there were so many beautiful holes. The 17th hole is the island par 3 but there was another par 3 that was on a peninsula. Both were very challenging. Just loved the course and will definitely play again. Heard the pace of play is an issue sometimes but today it was great!!!!

Excellent Course Shape

Greens are always fair, but you can easily make a three putt if you lose focus. Fairways, greens, rough, and bunkers were all excellent. This is a top golf public golf course in Ohio for a reason. Front is tougher than the back. I play here in a league on Tuesdays...shouting out to Hack Daddiez. Staff is always friendly. One of my group members made a hole in on the island green 17. Unfortunately, they do not reward players in any way any more. They should at least give him a flag replica!

Enjoyable round

Course was in very good condition. I believe the greens could have been a little faster, but Mother Nature hasn’t been cooperating as much as we all would like. This is a longer course, but has wide fairways and forgiving rough. One of the best courses in the area. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Will return again in 2018.

Going Downhill

Have played Boulder Creek for many years and this year the course looks abandoned. Weeds everywhere. Huge clumps of grass everywhere. Greens are diseased. Not good. Looks like they have given up on the course and its appearance.

Won't be back in 2018.
