BOULDER CREEK GOLF CLUB (2003)

DESERT REGION

Public: 27 hole - cost: $40 - $130

1501 Veterens Memorial Drive, Boulder City, NV 89005

Tel: (702) 294-6534

Designed by Mark Rathert. There are three nines at Boulder Creek, the Desert Hawk, Coyote Run, and the Eldorado Valley. Although all three have subtle differences, they do have many similarities. First, all are "What you see, is what you get." There are no hidden agendas. Second, they all reward the player who can hit the ball long and straight. Finally, all three courses are a combination of oasis, desert, and arroyo golf. All green fees include a cart, but they will deduct $15 if you wish to walk. The yardage listed is for the Desert Hawk/Coyote Run combination. From Las Vegas (about 14 miles to the course) : Take I-515 south/US-93 south/US-95 south (they are all the same). Continue on US-93 South/US-95 South. Turn right onto Veterans Memorial and drive about two blocks, and the clubhouse and the parking lot will be on the left.
