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.

Vegas wind

We had to cancel our tee times because of wind, 5 out of 7 in our group are in their 80’s. I tried to cancel through your site but got knocked out each time so I called the course and canceled through them. It looked like it would have been a nice course but we didn’t even drive out.

A Course To Play

This is a great course, hard but fair. Tee boxes, fairways and greens in great shape. Bunkers were ok. If you haven’t played this course play with someone who knows the course, would be helpful. Will play here again.

Great Set Up

We played all 27 holes and enjoyed it all. Some great holes. Greens were good, early March so it was super green (the tees and greens were great).

Great time out

Love this course. Pace of play was fantastic. Course was in pretty good shape. Greens were a touch bouncy but could be due to the current weather. Can’t wait to get out and go play this course again.

Circus Golf

Dormant grass means the ball is either in the fairway or in the rocks. Elevated greens with dormant grass meant any missed shot was now 50 yards away after rolling on the “concrete”. The only thing missing was the windmill hole and the clown face eating my ball on 18. I did however hit a 475 yard drive ion 18 because of the stupid conditions (downhill). Was booked on Lexington but moved to the Concord course and given a free beer for my troubles. Never again, I feel like I had money stolen from me based on the course condition and the high price.

70° and no wind

The conditions today were absolutely perfect 70° and no wind. The course is in fair condition fairways are OK overseed is starting to get very thin. The greens are patchy and bumpy and very fast I’ve been playing much better locally., and paying lower rates than this.

Walked

A Jem in the desert

Played Boulder Creek for the first time and walked the courses; Coyote, El Dorado. It has three 9 holes to play. It's a tough walk, especially after Coyote 9 to El Dorado 1. Hitch a ride for that trek at least.

The course is not too forgiven but if you know where to go, you're all good. For the first time, play with an experienced player. I did and it helped a lot.

Great staff and friendly cart girl, she came around 3 times during our round.

The only downside was, it was a very slow round. This was due in part to a tournament on the third 9.

Definitely worth the drive from the Vegas area. Eat at Dillinger's, the best burgers around and cold PBR on tap.
