Rating 75.8

Boulder Creek Golf Club boasts three nine-hole courses, which can be played in different 18-hole combinations. Though this Boulder City club is a bit off the beaten path, the scenic location is well worth the drive. The terrain provides different challenges on each nine. The Desert Hawk/Coyote Run combination begins with the longest of the three nines. Desert Hawk has plenty of room for lengthy drives and clear shots to generous fairways. There are also opportunities to work on your short game skills, it's a nine that will have you using all the clubs in your bag. The back nine is just as diverse with varying elevation changes that depending on where your ball lands can either be a boon or a punishment. Water hazards also come into play on a few holes.

great value in the Las Vegas area

Nice driving range/warmup area. Course has a variety of hole setups. Tee boxes are nice and hole lengths vary. Greens are undulating and fast. Bunker sand was inconsistent. I would definitely play again.

Good challenge

First time playing Boulder Creek. Some interesting holes where even if I hit well, you may end up in a bunker or ditch if one isn’t able to control the direction well. Some clumps growing on the fringes, but otherwise, the course was in god shape.

Love the layout

Had a great day! Fairways in decent shape for this time of year, greens rolling well, pace of play was fine but the bunkers need some TLC. I’ll definitely play this course again.

Excellent course layout, greens were in good shape as well as the fairways. Fringes around the greens are very poor as there are tight of a secondary grass making putting and chipping pretty much impossible as the toughs of grass kick the ball all over the place or outright stop the ball. There were almost no garbage cans on the tee boxes!

Great Course and Staff

Since we're not local, we only get to play this course when we're visiting the area. It's always well maintained and the staff is very friendly and accommodating. Wish we had more opportunities to play here.

Simply the Best

Boulder Creek never disappoints. Friendly and helpful staff. Nice practice/warmup area and the pace of play is always very good. Courses are challenging and always in great shape. Best value in southern Nevada. Highly recommend.
