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.

You are slipping

Play here 4-10 times a year. Has been awhile. First we were told range balls were 10.00.. round is 60.00 and range balls are 10.00? Come on man, Piutte is 60.00 and is gorgeous, and free everything. Stop kidding yourself.. pace of play was horrendous. Get these groups moving who are holding the whole course up. Fairways were not good, couldnt tell fairway from rough. Greens were in normal great shape. Overall you need to get better if you think you can ask people to pay this price. Old carts and no GPS. Boulder City is a much better value in this area. That statement should wake you up, a muni is in better condition. Will try you again in 2022. Cheers

Had to walk to the driving range because the guy that was supposed to take me said he was busy doing something else.

A vegas favorite.

A best value in Vegas -- always.

Course in excellent shape; greens run true; staff is friendliest anywhere; 19th hole's service and food are equally good.

Nice course in good shape

I teed off as a single at about 9:40. Timing must have been perfect because I played in a bit over three hours. Course was in great shape.

Top notch greens, course not overplayed

Spent some time watching a few tournaments at Boulder Creek so decided to play. The greens were in great shape for my round in mid-July. Scenic views and saw some coyotes and jackrabbits. Very speedy play mid-week and not overplayed like some Vegas courses closer to the strip. Pick a good day and time to play this gem, so you won't have much traffic before (morning commute or after, evening commute or typical FRI/SUN vegas traffic). Also another plus is Fox Smokehouse is a mile away for your BBQ needs. Grill in clubhouse is great at the turn. Definitely will be back, don't want to say too many nice things to keep the crowds down.
