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.

Amazing

This is a hidden gem! Course and greens are in great shape. They have 3 9’s so the pace is quick. Go play and experience for yourself.

No Marshall on course, really slow at the end

I would recommend the course, but with precautions be sure the pace of play keeps up I couldn't finish my round because it got dark as there were no marshals on the course and the UNLV hockey team was playing a 9 some two holes ahead, which really slowed things down at the end. They had zero courtesy, and zero consideration for other golfers.

Always Great!

Haven't had a bad time here EVER! The pace was a little slow (for a weekday, about 4h 15m). A few too many ball marks on the greens (repaired 5+ on many holes); that's a golfer problem... come on folks, fix those greens! Truly, these minor issues didn't change how much I enjoyed the round.

Hidden Gem Close to Las Vegas

Course was in great shape and everyone was very friendly (special shout out to Joey). Club rental was only $50 and included a glove, 2 sleeves of balls and tees. Was paired up with some low handicappers and I played from the Gold tees (7007 yards) with them to keep pace (normally play the Whites (6100 - 6400 yards) elsewhere), but was able to get around the course OK. High course/slope rating, but is very playable (shot an 88). It’s in Boulder, so it’s further out than some of the other Vegas courses, but was not much longer than the drive to my course at home. For the value, well worth spending the extra 10-15 minutes to get out to Boulder Creek. Will definitely be back!
