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.

Downhill

This used to be on of my go to courses when visiting Vegas. Every year the conditions keep declining. Tboxes are terrible, greens have fur on them... Fairways are just ok.... hopefully they get the course back to tip top shape...

Starters and staff great

Not worth the $$$$

The course was not worth the price we paid — it is in really rough shape and worth about half the price. Dont be fooled by all of the great reviews. Bunkers were like hitting off rocks, fairways were terrible too. We were not impressed.

Great Views

Great setting for a golf course. Quiet. Not many homes surrounding course just great views. Grass was dormant but greens were in good shape. Friendly staff and good bar.

Not ideal for serious golfers

The scenery around the course is amazing but the course itself wasn’t in great shape IMO. Greens rolled well but looked like they had a fungus or something on them. Tee boxes were barren. Got paired up with an old foreign couple who looked like they never played golf before. Don’t recommend. The reviews on this place are suspect IMO. Course is a 3 star at best. Scenery is likely why people like it so much.

A must do

Although we played in the winter, the course was still in great shape. Would love to come back and play in peak season.

Count on breezy 3-10 mph

Course is good condition, not excellent. However, Kathy @ the Pro shop has always been excellent and courteous, specially when u play as a single golfer. She’ll let u hop on the course that’s not crowded so u can finish 18-hole before dark

Scenic course worth the drive from the strip

The course is a good mix of fair and challenging holes. Dessert golf at its best…stay on the fairway as the spongy grass on the edge can be tough to shoot off of. Will always come back here when I’m in Vegas
