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.

Good course layout, mediocre conditions

The course layout is good, but the conditions are not as good perhaps due to winter. A lot of cut grass dust all over the course dusted the golf bags and clothes.

Decent Round, wouldn’t go back til maybe peak season

Best part of this course is by far the practice facility. Incredible driving range and awesome chipping and putting greens. The carts are pretty beat up, there was a lot of instances where people had their battery die in the middle of the round. My biggest gripe is definitely the course conditions. Everything is extremely dry, hard and fast. Greens were so fast it took almost the whole front 9 to adjust. On top of that, there’s deadly sand traps everywhere. So a good drive straight down the fairway rolls an extra 20-30 yards more than it should just gets eaten up by the traps over and over again. Layout is pretty cool, but the course conditions made it just an overall very difficult round. May consider returning, but it will definitely be once I hear they re-seed the course.

Great course great price

Greens were in great condition with tough pin placements. Didn’t like the painted fairways. Looking forward to the spring growth. Staff was friendly and attentive as always.

Worth The Drive

The course was in Good Shape, Little burned up in a few spots, Greens was in Great shape. Fun Holes, the first nine was slow over 2-1/2 hours but we drove across the road to the 9 on that side and played in just under 2 hours. Great flexibility by the staff to recognize the issue and take action. Only saw the refreshment cart once...I COULD HAVE USED MORE!!

We literally left after 9 holes was so bad.

The fairways and tee boxes are literally painted / dyed green. Grass is completely gone. No sand in bunkers. We paid for 18 holes and played 9 and left course. Nothing from golf carts to staff friendliness was even close to par. There are 20 better options in Vegas on here to choose.

Much better

Play there often. We enjoy the whole facility and staff. About 4 months ago it was awful, slow play, bad condition. I wrote a bad review and said I would be back in a few months. I’m glad to see you are coming back. Greens and bunkers could use just a little work but you are on your way back to the excellent facility and conditions we have grown to love..

Thanks and keep it up!!
