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.

Great conditions

Played during heatwave-112-117. Course was in great shape. Lots of green grass and not too wet. Heat kept crowd down. My wife and I played in 3 hrs 15 minutes. We play a lot of golf in Tucson and Phoenix, Boulder Creek is as good as any in terms of shape and layout

Toasty Golf

Let’s start with the good - course is in very good shape. Fairways are superb and the greens are in very good shape. I was able to avoid all the bunkers so I can’t comment on those..

The not so good (in my opinion) - I know your supposed to have an app to see the hole layouts and yardages but I like to put my phone away when I play. If you’re not going to have GPS in the carts, mark the course better. The course seems to want your money but the lack of amenities makes me want to take my money to other courses where you get more for your money. They give you no water (bottles of water from Costco are like 15 cents per bottle!) and there are no water jugs on the course.

I’m not saying I won’t play here but know you’ll get a good course and not much else.

Fun course

Looking for something near Las Vegas. This place has friendly staff. The course was light on on course drinking water ( we played when it was 111) but they sent you out with a cooler of ice. The food was good and the 19th hole had a descent beer selection.

Beautiful Courses

Boulder Creek has 3- 9 hole courses. I played 2 of the 3 on a Tuesday. There was not many players out that day, but the staff there was friendly and helpful. The course layout is amazing, too me as I'm used to playing courses in Oklahoma. I really enjoyed the way the desert outlined the greenery of the courses. I would highly recommend an outing here for golfers passing through or staying near Boulder City. Thank you to the staff.

Wide open spaces with great view!

Great course. Greens were recently punched making them slow and bumpy. Normally the greens are smooth and fast!

Still had a great round!
