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.

Two Games Played

My wife and I are non residents. We last played the course 5 years ago. This time we played two days in a row. The first day was windy and got a GolfNow afternoon tee time booked the day before . The next day we had booked a month in advance and paid a much higher price for a morning tee time.

Course was a bit rough in areas and tees could have been in better condition.

The course was fully booked the second day and pace of play was slow. There was a large group in front of us that had two four some's that knew each other.

Overall I think the green fee for non residents is high for the condition of the course, especially when you compare it with what locals are paying.

Challenging Course

I found the course to be somewhat challenging with many holes having wide crossing gullies which were dry due to the drought. So it you don't plan well, you'll roll into one of them. Course was in good condition - both fairways & greens.

I try and play this course every time I’m in the Las Vegas area. The course was in good shape for early spring, the greens rolled really well.

Check the Wind Conditions Before Playing

This was my second time playing this course -- did the Coyote Run and El Dorado nines for the this round. The Desert Hawk nine was open for play. Wind gusts made some holes almost impossible to play. Any lofted shots were getting blown off the fairways and greens. It was a rough day to play and the scorecard reflected it. If high winds are in the forecast, look for a course that has a little more protection than Boulder Creek.

Needs some love

I’ve played here for many years but the course iconditions have gone downhill.. Not bad if you can book a decent rate on GolfNow but I don’t think it’s worth 120 bucks for nonresident and the pace of play is always very slow
