Boulder Creek Golf Club

The course has many features found on some of the area's high-end layouts, including white sand bunkers, palm trees and split fairways. The course also stretches to 7,400 yards from the championship tees.

Boulder Creek's three distinctive nine-hole layouts: Desert Hawk, Coyote Run and Eldorado all feature bent grass greens and is the first Vegas area course to use Tiffsport fairways and tees. The first hole on each nine begins in an oasis and as the round progress, play wind through desert-themed holes complete with arroyo plants and dramatic desert landscape. The final hole on each nine finished back in a lush, water-filled oasis - just as the round began.

Water comes into play on six holes on Desert Hawk, with plenty of sand also making the round a bit more challenging. A large driving range features instruction at both ends and target greens to hone the short game.

The clubhouse is stocked with top-of-the line clothing and is a nice spot to relax after the round. A large banquet facility just outside the clubhouse is a nice spot for banquets, meetings or wedding receptions.

Boulder Creek opened in 2003 and while its appearance may rival those of the highest priced courses in Las Vegas, it's a bargain, rivaling the area's best in quality but not price.
