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

I played the Coyote Run Eldorado course today. I am sure the more I play it, the better I will score. I am a 12 handicap and scored 85.

Greens are running fast, which I like.

Course personnel were terrific.

Ok but range balls are a joke

Good track but driving range is horrible. There is no grass on driving range and the range balls are 20 years old. Many balls were so bad there were no dimples and flew like a knuckle ball. Driving range tee area was like hitting off concrete.

The course is in pretty good shape

The grass is getting thicker, its still a little thin in some spots. Overall this course is in good shape. The greens are pretty quick.

Windy day

The wind was 20 to 35 mph, which made it cold at times.

The course was in pretty good shape for this time of year. I would recommend this course.

Another joyous round

It was a very windy day when I played but the course was in amazing condition. The fairways were groomed perfectly and the bunkers were playable without issue. A fun time with nobody else out there besides me. The greens are challenging and almost ready for warmer weather so they fill in a bit more. You cannot beat the value of this course nor the friendliness of the staff. Highly recommend!
