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.

Weekend review

Boulder Creek, consistently a good experience and one I always recommend to others.

After a unusually slower round than normal, One recommendation to the club house staff… While the carts now track pace of play, it would be nice if someone on the team would encourage slow groups to pick up the pace.

So SO VERY SLOW 😭

My playing partner and I were greeted by friendly, helpful staff in the pro shop and directed to the impressive practice facilities.

We played the desert and coyote 9s and before we went out at 11.30sm we were told by the starter that he had put 150 players out already. That should have been warning #1 for what was to follow.

We waited, along with a 2some we were paired with, on EVERY SHOT.

Our new friends drove in after 11 holes and the 2 groups in front of us left after 14 holes.

We then came up behind a 4-ball who took 5 minutes to put out on each green, looking like they were playing for SERIOUS money but not giving any indication that they realised they were holding up the whole course. Our round was over 4 1/2 hours and so theirs must have been about 5! Totally unacceptable in 100F heat and in carts.

We never saw a Marshall at any point but we did see a friendly cart girl 3 times.

To the 4 ball, thank you for spoiling a fun day. To the club managers, please Please PLEEEEEASE get a Marshall out there to move slower players along. Thank you.

Awesome condition

The fairways were in excellent condition. The greens were in good condition. The bunkers were in not so good condition. Seemed like more gravel then sand. All in all a great course.

Best Kept Secret

The nicest course for the price hands down. You will definitely have a difficult round the first time you play, but after knowing where the blind fairways lead, you are freed up to swing away.
