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.

Extreme Wind on a Very Dry & Sandy course

This was our 2nd day of 5 rounds booked whilst on vacation. Not sure it's fair to Boulder Creek that it was sandwiched in between 2 rounds at Chimera, but I'd say the course conditions were like night & day. While Chimera was in amazing shape, lush fairways, lots of green, BCreek was sparse, fairways patchy, just overall feeling of dry. The backshop guy that helped with our clubs after the round said we were 2 weeks ahead of overseeding, which would make a huge difference, but for the same money (all Hot Deals) both Chimera & Rhodes Ranch were way more enjoyable.

Course is so so

I play this course many times and when you book with Golfnow they treat you differently than a resident. Many times in the summer I book a late time for the rate and is completely empty and get there early to practice or just start. No balls included and hold you till your time even if it’s dead. Yesterday was a frost delay aka staff leaving sprinkling system on causing the over an house delay. Course was in ok shape but this is prime time and others are in better shape. They started to cheap out and paint the course green to fake the shape. Such a disappointment. Doesn’t help that prices are up for everything. I don’t mind to pay but the couse should be better for the price. They did update their carts and gps which was nice. I use my own anyways.

First time

Overall, good time aging. Would have lkke to again as some course knowledge would have been helpful to save a few strokes.

Nice Desert course. Just watch out for the way some of the green will favor the break heading to the valley direction when it looks straight.

Nice course

Golfer from Canada. First time playing in Vegas, got a golfnow deal for $60 and replay for $30. Super value.

Layout was very nice, fairways a little dry but still very playable, greens were immaculate and delightfully tricky. Staff very nice.

Desert hawk and Coyote Run great tracks with nice contours and challenging approaches Desert mush it’s surprisingly playable. Eldorado not as nice as the other nines but still very playable.

Would play again.

We Will Return - Get Off the Strip!

Short drive from Las Vegas, very nice community and great people in Boulder City.

Course offers something for everyone, a great variety of tee boxes allows golfers of all levels to play to their abilities. Some holes allow you to swing away, while other need your course management/judgement to hole your par or better.

Conditions were very good, greens fast and true. Only hesitation on condition would be traps were more fine rocks than sandy….but won’t slow you down, we all got out with ease.

Value, quality, and fun..:.get out of town, put Boulder Creek on your list.
