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.

Hidden gem

I’ve played this course several times, it’s a joy always in excellent condition.
Lots of demanding tee shots and challenging approach shots.
Well worth the money.

Nice stop if you're not in a hurry

Great course, great layout, great shape, greens roll nice..friendly staff.... Efficient lady in pro shop got us out almost an hour early.. Good thing as we finished just at dusk after 5 hr round... No marshall/player Asst around. Also found out pro shop and restaurant close at 600 pm.. So if you finish after that just be aware there'll be no food, drink or washrooms available. Otherwise, golf wise.. Good value for the dollar with golf now hot deal rate.

Good times until the wind blew

The morning was cool and the staff friendly when we pulled up. The range balls and range were nice but quite the haul to the first tee and no clock for you to keep an eye on your timeline.

Starter was nice and the practice putting green was representative of what we found on the course.

Nice layout and pretty much what you see is what you get. The wind makes this a different course. Front was a pleasant experience and was able to club well. The 30mg winds that kicked up on the back made it unplayable. We left after 16 holes. Pace was dragging due to the difficulty the wind added.

I would play it again. By the price through golf now was 55 more than resident rates.

Worth the drive

This was my group's first time playing Boulder Creek, and it didn't disappoint. As a muni, the cost is appreciably lower than many of the courses we play on our annual trip, but that doesn't mean the course skimps on quality or service. The layout is varied and decently challenging. From tee to green in good playing condition. It's worth the 30-40 minute drive from the Strip, and if you'd like, take a few more minutes to see the Hoover Dam!

Great course

Nice layout, very minimal delays. Beautiful day, fairway and greens were in great shape. The starter was very friendly and shared a few hockey stories.

Not Worth the Drive

Not a bad course; did not have a bad experience. Having said that, was it worth the drive and hassle to save $100? For me, in hindsight, the answer is no. The course bills itself as similar to Cascata at a fraction of the price. That is overselling it.

Again, I have had much worse golfing experiences, but I was hoping to be wowed, and found it to be average.
