Rating 75.8

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.

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.

Nice course

The course was in very good shape, from tee to green. I would recommend the course book as there are many blind shots and a he book gives a lot of information, prior to the shot. I will definitely play here again.

Boulder Creek is one of the few good courses on the east side of town and definitely worth the drive if youre going to play in the Henderson area.
