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.

Short cut fairways with lots of rollout

Great municipal course, fun to play on a course that's not in the backyard of people's homes. Great desert/mountain views and good amount of greenery/trees. Good layout with a variety of holes that required accuracy, distance, and shot shaping.

Fairways were cut extremely short, coupled with wind and some downhills meant for some extremely long drives. This made it difficult to play because balls would roll out of the fairways and into the desert since nothing would stop it. Rough was dormant in December, but fluffy. Tee boxes were in great condition and were flat and cut short. Greens were exceptionally smooth. Bunkers had good sand.

Carts had GPS with green slopes (but no distance from tee). There's a grill to order food from at the turn with a great menu, need to open the menu on your phone and call in orders. Restaurant and clubhouse was a nice facility. Driving range was grass (!) but was west facing and a bit of a hike from the clubhouse. Good practice area. Carts had coolers with ice but no water bottles provided. There were refill stations on the course though.

9 minute tee time intervals meant a 4.5 hour round. The course does not let singles book unless another group of 2/3 already booked.

Beautiful course

Never played in a desert course before. Was perfect for us. The greens rolled pure. Fairways were fast after the ball bounced - need to take that into account for club selection. Great back drop of the mountains. Very helpful and friendly staff.

Best Value

BC is the best course regarding value. You cannot beat conditions of the course vs. cost! Always in good shape, greens roll nice and quick and pace of play is typically fair. Nice practice area, staff is nice…food is decent. Highly recommend this course if you are a regular player. FYI, but the “Players Card” and you get great discount on golf and range!
