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.

A must play!

I made a last minute reservation to play this course on Sunday morning and expected the typical 5 hour Sunday round. Upon checking in we were informed there was a twosome in front of us and we'd be clear to start a little early if we preferred. After loading up our gear we stopped to chat with the starter and he was very helpful in planning to play this course as it was our first time. Just as he said the greens weren't as deceptive as they appear and the course was in amazing condition. The round was played in less than 3 and 1/2 hours and the gps was spot on. What a fun course to play, I'm so glad my trip home was delayed a day and I was able to get out and enjoy an amazing round of golf. Some courses in Vegas seem to overbook the weekend so you can anticipate the 5+ hour round but not this course. It was an amazing experience. I actually shot the best round of the week here and look forward to my next visit in a month.

Boulder Creek is a favorite

First, it is a desert setting on all sides. No homes or buildings to worry about. I always see coyotes and other desert animals. This time we encountered a large Hawk that was stalking a rabbit. It was a site.

If you stay on the fairways it is a blast. The desert areas are brutal. Plus I am always concerned about rattle snakes.

The course is near Lake Mead, so the temperature always seems a few degrees cooler than Vegas courses. I love the place.

Always great!

Boulder creek is an excellent golf course. I hadn’t played here in a while and almost forgot how good it is. Each nine holes are very challenging and beautiful, if you get a chance put Boulder Creek on your list

All 3 nines are great!

Boulder Creek

The course is in great shape. We finished our round in 3 hours and 45 minutes. We did not wait at all.

The staff was very friendly. Unfortunately we had to wear masks inside the club but that is the governors orders.
