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.

Fun course

Love the course but weather was not good as it was raining and heavy winds. We still enjoyed the course, well maintained and we finished the round in 2hrs40mins.

Always fun to play

Typical winter conditions: hard fairways, dry rough, but the greens were very receptive. The challenge of any of the 3 nines brings me back every time I visit. This time a very good GolfNow Hotdeal was a bonus.

Great Course - Slow Play

Really enjoyed the course. Would have enjoyed it more if there weren't some knuckleheads somewhere in front of us holding everyone up.

Four!!!!

Every time I golf here some crazy chubby rural folk try to hit my group with golf balls. This time was no different. First two balls could be blamed on blind spots. But the third ball that almost hit us was clearly intentional. I was going to rip their heads off but cooler head prevailed. And I called the Marshall to intervene.

OK layout, but if you have to drive a long way... not worth it.

There are 3 nines, we played Desert Hawk and Coyote Run. Everyone that we talked to just raved about this course. We made the drive (about 45 minutes) expecting to be WOW'd by layout and condition. Not.. It wasnt really anything special. The fairways were like playing off of astro turf with crabgrass mixed in. Layout had a lot of dog legs and desert area to shoot over in front of the greens. After a while that gets old. Have to say the staff were excellent and very friendly. We did eat at the grill. For the money, I guess this is OK, but wouldnt make the drive again.
