Played an early 3.5 hour round on a course the dogs won't even show up at anymore. I would not be surprised to see this place closing before the end of the year! The tee boxes were thin, hard and sloped. The fairways were in sad shape with little to no coverage. They were so dry and hard that shots ran off into the jungle along the creek that runs through this course. The traps were either dirt hard pan or wet and all had little to no sand in them. The greens were SO SAD that they cannot even be called greens anymore! Every green had bare spots and patches of grasses that were either very long or dead! I can't explain how POOR these greens are. It's sad to see what has happened to this course. It was a pretty fair test of golf years ago before the present draining of blood from every part of it from the clubhouse to the course. To pay anything here to play is more than unfair to the golfing public. The clubhouse is in shambles and the course is in the toilet and almost out of sight. Definitely a waste of money to play here nowadays! Sad sad sad......

Early out and finished in under four hours. When we arrived the main gate was still closed and the cars were out into the street? Finally at about 6:30 am somebody came to open up! Strange beginning. The pro shop is very sparse which carried over into the course. The tee boxes were mostly level but most were thin, dry and covered with rabbit droppings. The fairways were hit and miss with many having dry thin coverage. The rough was full of wildlife and thin to thick but very dry. The traps were in good shape with enough sand but a few were small ponds or very rocky. The greens were rolling at medium speed and fairly dried out. Some greens would hold shots but others would not. The wind picked up on a couple of holes which really made playing this course for the first time challenging. There are a few water holes and some great views of the hills and valley on many holes. The rates are attractive but you generally get what you pay for. The layout of this course reminded me a little of the now closed Diamond Valley. I could see this being a great course with some investment and care. Give it a try - why not?

SAD day for this place just when it was starting to look up! Receive emails from the course and the last stated their rates for the Spring and Summer. Called for a tee time on Sunday and asked what the rates were for Memorial Day and (quoted what the email had stated). Upon arrival to check at the pro shop the employee (DEWEY) charged more than the printed and quoted RATE. After informing him what I received in their email and was quoted the day before he shoved his rate sheet at me and said this is what it is!!! BY FAR the worst customer SERVICE ever at any course I've played. It's sad this OWNERSHIP is so lost when it comes to running a business and golf course. The course itself was in pretty good condition on the tees and greens. The fairways are still thin with a mix of many types of grasses. The traps are in better shape than previous visits here but most very damp. The pace of play was great at a little over three hours. ANOTHER issue I've encountered here is the grounds crew working on or around the greens when you are trying to get in your round you WERE overcharged for! On three holes we had to wait while the grounds crew raked traps and mowed the greens! Then on another hole as the group ahead of us vacated the green the IDIOTS turned on the sprinklers for a good five minutes while we sat in the fairway waiting to hit our approach shots! Also heard the GM here was let go very recently? Par for this course as it is a revolving door most likely due to the CLUELESS ownership! Cannot and WILL NOT recommend ever again.

Played early Saturday morning in a light drizzle finishing in under four hours. I had played the original Hidden Meadows and Meadow Lake course here many times before the turf destruction renamed this place Boulder Oaks. The name sadly is the best thing it has going for it now. The staff was friendly and helpful once you located the pro shop. The vibe there was more like visiting a liquor store. The carts have plenty of pep but lack a wind/rain shield! The tee boxes were okay to thin and shaggy with most being level. The fairways were in sad shape with all kinds of grasses, bare spots and rodent holes/mounds. The dirt traps were filled with just that dirt, grass , pebbles and rocks. The rough ranged from a few inches of clover to two feet of weeds! We found the greens to definitely be the highlight of the course, or maybe it was the carts? Anyway the greens were pretty firm and rolled quite slow. Most of the greens have break to them some quite a bit. This used to be such a nice challenging picturesque course to play. Sadly now I cannot recommend this place to anyone.

First off on Sunday and finished in a little over three hours. This course is probably in the best shape I've seen it in. The staff is familiar and friendly. The rates are very reasonable and a deal compared to the local casino course who has jacked up their rates. The tee boxes are mostly flat with a few being sloped and a little thin. The fairways have good coverage with areas that should be marked as gur. The rough is fairly thick and long making for an easter egg hunt if your ball finds it way there. The sand traps were their usual wet compact mess. The greens still showed evidence of being plugged, but the ball rolled pretty well albeit slower than usual. There were many greens with numerous ball marks in need of repair as well. The water features on this course actually still have quite a good amount of water in them which is great. I find the layout to be somewhat challenging and always enjoy a round here. Recommended.
