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.

Beating the rain

I showed up an hour early for my tee time and the starter found a spot for me immediately. My round took only 3 hours and twenty minutes and the greens were absolutely fast and fantastic to play. A few drops of rain fell, but none after the first few minutes.

Always a pleasure to play here as the staff is fantastic everywhere. My score for the 18 was 39 on the Desert Hawk and 39 on the Coyote.

Excellent Year Round Conditions

Overall great experience from start to finish.

I always utilize the bag drop before parking, the team is super helpful getting my clubs into the cart asap and prepped for the round.

Great pace for starter always keeping it going.

The timing was great for a 9:51am I was able to go out solo and finish my round in under 4 hours...amazing!

Smooth and rewarding

At 80 years of age, my brother questioned me for playing the course from the white tees. However, white tees it was. Having completed many lessons at the Harmon Academy in Henderson, NV, I was playing better than I ever had in my life. The first nine we played was Desert Hawk, a challenging nine. My score for this nine was 39. The greens and fairways are in great condition.

The second nine I had played before - Wolf Crossing, a true test of golf. My score here? 38 for a score of 77, with only 24 putts.

The nice part about playing here, is really the people they have working. Friendly, with a lot of info about the green speeds, and other things which affect how one plays. The warmup areas are great for irons and woods, chipping and wedging as well as sand play. If I had any criticism, it would be that the sand traps are not raked enough by people who play the courses. I was only in two traps but was in someone's footprint both times. In addition to reminding people to repair their ball marks on the greens, they need to remind them to rake their traps after hitting their shots.

I enjoyed it so much, I have scheduled another round next week.

Nice couse

The greens were just punched a few days prior so they were a bit bumpy. The rest of the course was in pretty good shape. Pace of play was 4:15. Staff was great.

Loved It

I really did love this course and will definitely play again when I'm in town. And I'm not just saying that because I played my first sub 80 round in 2 years! Course is in great condition from tee to green. Pro shop is also first rate. My only regret is not being able to fully appreciate the gorgeous restaurant/pub area.
