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.

Really excellent course

Fantastic course top to bottom. Nice practice area, 3 excellent 9s for variety. Has many tees to play, from the tips it is a different course altogether, from the Gold a very reasonable challenge. Excellent layout with interesting holes and reachable Par 5s, a fair test of golf by any measure.

Coyote Run Hole 1 I have almost always encountered coyotes so feel free to admire from afar and take advantage of the wild animals free drop rule.

Pricing is very reasonable for this absolute gem.

Disappointing

After having played this course once before I was looking forward to my second round. Maybe it was an off day for the staff but their friendliness was under whelming. The carts were in horrible shape (missing ball holders in the console, no top to the cooler, the GPS was out) and when I explained I was not “with” the person I was playing with (meaning I needed a single cart) the eye roll was enormous!

I do love the course but was a little put off by the staff this time.

Nice condition

The course is in good condition the reseeded grass needs to be cut it’s long and shaggy just like the tee boxes. The greens are very good and fast. This is my first time playing Boulder Creek and I would definitely recommended it, they have many different tees for all skill levels the black tees are a monster

Great desert course

Love this course! Excellent desert course -- not a housing development! Great, close by mountain views. This course has a lot of features: bunkering, water hazards, elevation change, rolling terrain. Conditions anywhere near the green were superb. fairways looked like they could use a little more water, but played just fine. Tee boxes were commonly elevated and in good condition. We played Coyote Run and Desert Hawk courses. Great layout with a unique feel to each hole. This course is now in my top 5 for Vegas to-play courses.
