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.

Good course to play, especially for the average golfer.

The course is not really that challenging, but was in pretty good shape. There are so many great courses in Vegas, if you are looking for a course to test your skills, go somewhere else.

One of the BEST Local's courses

Anytime that you need to get in a good round on a place that has Three 9-hole courses, then this is the course for you. The people are always nice, place is always in good condition, the greens roll well and the pace is good too. I strongly recommend this course to anyone looking for a good place to play. I've played here well over a dozen times and never had a complaint.

Quality Course

Boulder Creek is the course they use to play the PGA qualifier for the Las Vegas Shriners. It is hard, but not impossible from the correct tees. Don't hesitate to play here if you get a chance.

Nice round although I would have enjoyed less time at the beach!

An enjoyable round but beware of the traps! The course was in good condition but wished the cart computer was working to give us an idea of what lay ahead.

Great value

Really enjoyed the course and the staff were both friendly and helpful.

We arrived a little late due to my satnav taking us the wrong way but the starter (sorry didn’t catch your name) managed to get us going without any issues.

My only criticism was the 3 ball in front held us up all the way around on every shot. We are relatively quick players and they had numerous opportunities to let us through, but didn’t. In the end we skipped the 13th to get in front and left them for dead!!

Would definitely play again!!

Staff

Ok, so its summer and hot as heck. Got deal on Golf Now, and did arrive 30 minutes early staff guy said on two occasions because we got the round on Golf Now have to wait until the exact tee off time OK. Then said if you would like to hit a bucket of balls it would be $10.00 each, again because we got our deal on golf now. (The courses in the Vegss area dont charge for that).. only one 2 some had gone off in that half hour. I am a rule follower but I also have common sense and life offers discretion

Because your guy was such an idiot. I will not return to your beautiful fun course.

Red red staff guy.

Great day but...

The course was in good condition-greens hard and fast. Great value on Golf Now, one problem was customer service!! While coming into the 6th tee box maintenance team turned on the sprinklers showering our cart in good ole reclaimed water! After getting through that obstacle as we were teeing off the maintenance team turned on that same great water on the tee box showering us our cart and everything in it. Clubhouse staff laughed it off-very unprofessionally handled by them !!
