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.

Thoroughly enjoyed my round!

Started out a bit rough, but that is in me because I got there late. The course is in very nice winter shape, a bit intimidating, but very fair. The staff is among the best I have encountered in the Clark County Golf Community. I cannot wait to get out there again.

Great course! Terrible golf carts, please upgrade!

Fun course layout, nice fairways & greens for winter golf. But they really need to upgrade their golf carts. GPS didn’t work half the time and felt like the cart was going to give out the entire round. Also, we were behind some sort of tournament and play was a little slow, and the kept removing the flagstick (?) which I thought was prohibited due to Covid. Overall, enjoy this golf course.

Do to the NV Governor's changes to COVID restrictions our stay was cancelled in Vegas. We tried to cancel this tee time but apparently you won't allow unless of weather or course conditions. We are very disappointed in your decision. Do to this decision, we will not be using your service ever again.
