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.

Not worth the trip

The young pro shop employee was unfriendly. I went to hit balls and they charged me an extra fee but when I went down to the range there were dozen of free balls. The range also sucked, it was a dirt track with no yardage markers. I then was supposed to be pairyup with another golfer but they didn’t have anyone so I went out by myself. The course was dead and no one was playing it which should have been a good clue to play elsewhere but I booked it online. The place had three nines and they wanted to charge me extra to play the third nine when the place was a ghost town. The greens must have been aerated recently because there we’re still sand on them. The bunkers were nothing but rock and pebbles with little sand to hit. The worst part was the wind. There are no trees so the wind whips so badly to can hardly stand over the ball. Save your money and play elsewhere especially if your from out of town. They jack the rates for non resident.

Not impressed

I bought this as a Valentines gift for my husband. We have been wanting to play here for the past 8 years, but it just never worked out. I have to say, we were both disappointed with the course.

Wind it up

Awesome course. Excellent greens. Gusting winds adds to the challenge. Had breakfast and food was great. Ham and egg platter is great. Go there. You will enjoy it.

Nice course

Fantastic course. Good pace of play. Really like that it’s NOT in a housing community, like a lot of Vegas courses are. The greens were nice and clean and by that I mean no geese/duck droppings like on a lot of courses here. I seen many workers cleaning the debris from the fairways and greens. Well maintained. Friendly cart girl and pro shop workers. I will definitely play here many more times. Well done.

Cold weather

Good track/undulating greens

Good course to play; fairways are a little thin but due to stunted growth after overseeding. Greens are in good shape and players take care of divots. Good experience because of pace of play and playing partners; good staff
