Where is Boulder Creek Golf Course?

Boulder Creek Golf Club: Located just eight miles from the Hoover Dam, on the other side of the Black Mountains from Las Vegas, Boulder Creek is home to three excellent nine-hole loops of desert-style championship golf. The Desert Hawk, Coyote Run and Eldorado nines make their separate ways out-and-back from the modern, comfortable clubhouse. Each has its own character, although the wonderfully natural and open desert environment is common to all three. Water hazards threaten more frequently on the Desert Hawk and Coyote Run nines. Unlike neighbouring Boulder City Municipal course, there is no real estate around the Boulder Creek layout, leaving you to enjoy its large expanses of tranquil pristine desert. From all three nines you are treated to wonderful views of the surrounding mountains and the impressively wide desert plain of the Eldorado valley. Oasis-themed holes feature palm trees, large beach bunkers, lakes and waterfalls. Arroyos (river beds) are artfully woven into the fabric of the course, often cutting through gently undulating fairways and guarding the front of several of the large and subtly sloping greens. Although a little further out than most of the Las Vegas courses, Boulder Creek is always a delight to play; at times challenging, at others easier-going, and always well-presented and immensely scenic.

Desert Hawk

Desert Hawk 9 is designed and laid out through the natural rolling terrain, diverse and extremely beautiful. With a combination of oasis and desert themes, Desert Hawk allows golfers the chance to use all of the clubs in their golf bag off the tees and in the fairways.

Coyote Run

Coyote Run 9 welcomes golfers with wide, lush fairways allowing for excellent playability and total comfort. With many arroyos meandering through the 9 holes, some of the most errant shots leave golfers with continuous scoring opportunities. While hosting a par 5 reaching from 635 to 500 yards, these 9 holes also offer a high degree of difficulty.

Eldorado Valley

Eldorado Valley is a scenic yet diverse course. This unique, exciting course features a challenging yet fair layout that rewards much longer drives from the tee box. It offers many clear, concise, unobstructed shots from the lush fairway. If a golfer happens to drive it off track, the deep, natural sand bunkers will create a challenging scram.

What is the best golf course in Las Vegas?

The greens, fairway and tees are typically some of the best in the Las Vegas Valley. During the winter months, the golf course lets the Bermuda roughs go dormant which further frames the green fairways with yellow grass in the rough and around bunkers. This is one of the great aspects of desert golf in the winter.
