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.

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.

Fun course

This was my first time out here. It was a nice day and the course was in good condition. Greens were in good shape too. With three 9’s there no doubt I’ll be back to play all the tracks. Even Just switching up the tees I play from will make this course a regular spot.

Worth The Drive from LV

Really nice layout. Every hole is different. Don't care for the El Dorado 9 but we didn't have a choice. Finished in under 4 hours. Group behind us hit into us all day but there was no Player Assistant/Marshal on this course. Would have called the pro shop but thought it might make things worse since the starter was friends with the group.

Nice course

Nice course, real good customer service. Only negative was some loser behind us. His name was Ben, balding, overweight and and a real jerk. He hit a ball five feet from us. I drive up and Ben said let us play through. But idiot didn’t know we were Waiting on people from us. After that we had fun.
