I typically play the city courses when I am in Las Vegas but ventured out to Boulder for a round at Boulder Creek. I am so glad that I did. First, the staff greeted my buddy and I very warmly. It was almost like they knew me. In the club house, one of the staff members gave us tee locations and was told us that with the wind up, a couple of the holes on the back would be challenging. Was able to get a quick bite inside at the restaurant before teeing off. The sandwich was outstanding along with the Bloody Mary.
It's 3-Nines and we played El Dorado and Desert Hawk. The course was well maintained for February and the greens were a bit faster than expected. They were smooth though. The sight lines were a bit tricky and if you run across the fairway, you could get into some trouble. BTW, saw lots of wildlife (Coyotes, Road Runners, etc). Pace of play was great also. So much so that we ended up playing the other 9 (Coyote Run) so we ended up playing 27 holes.
After the round, we grabbed burgers and drinks at the restaurant to relax. Again, the food was outstanding and the service was excellent. Shared an order of wings with my buddy and we each ordered the Burger with bacon and cheese and onion rings. This is a great course and I look forward to playing it again.

Played Wildhorse on Saturday with a buddy. Being in LV this time of summer, I thought a 10am tee time that there would not be many people playing. While the course was not packed, the pace of play was horrible. Once we got to hole #3, we literally had a 5-10min wait on every hole. There was no marshal on the course either so no one to help push play along. We ended up leaving after playing 15 holes, it got to be unbearable. I recommend the course because it's a nice layout, fair but some challenging holes. It was my first time playing it on the weekend. I've played before during the week/spring and have not experienced the slow pace

First off, I guess no one worked on Presidents Day because everywhere my group checked was booked and only had late afternoon tee times. So we were LUCKY to have found Aguila Golf Course.
We play from the tips and the course played all of the 7000 yards listed on the card because it had rained over the weekend so the fairways were lush and over seeded. Just beautiful for February in the Desert. Every fairway was immaculate!!! I wish I could take this course back to the DFW area with me. Its nice to hit an iron from the fairway and have create a divot.
Now the greens, well get ready because they are really, really fast. On our day, the were really slick. The practice putting area did not do them justice, I admit that it took 3 holes to get comfortable with the speed of the greens. They were amazing.
I recommend this course to anyone in the Phoenix area who wants to play a really good course and not have to pay a steep price. By comparison, today we played McCormick Ranch in Scottsdale and the while the course conditions were good, the greens were not as good as Aguila.
