Walking course only during Covid19

The course was in good condition with better than usual greens. The only downside is the 10-12th holes are down for a structural repair but the green fees reflect a reduction in costs to offset.

Gem of a course

This course might be a bit of the beaten path for most but is an excellent value for money and a beautiful walk through the redwoods. It has friendly staff and the pace of play was great. I would highly recommend playing this course.

First time as we reopen county

The course was in great shape. Some narrow fairways which were great. Three holes were closed off but we were made aware of this before we booked our round.
I was okay not having a cart, but was not sure why they had no pull carts available. I will definitely play here again.

Positive experience!

I chose this course since it was my first time out in a couple of months and it was a ,good warm-up and easy to walk. And the price was good. It was a very easy & safe process to check in and play. I like the 2 person limit per group and made for a quicker round, The greens were nice, but there was some areas that needed tending to (expected since course closed for almost 2 months). I would have rated higher, but holes 10-12 (probably several of the best holes) were closed. But, I would definitely recommend!

Pro shop guys is a Dick

Good local course. Holes 10-12 closed. Pro shop main guy is a total jerk and should not work in that area of the course. Marshals were great. Don’t know if the pro shop guy is the owner but regardless he should not be the first face you see. He is an absolute jerk. (I’m using this language b/c GN wouldn’t let me post otherwise:

Poor green. Unfriendly front desk staff

Guy at the front checking players in is a dick. Unfriendly and obviously doesn’t like his job. Outside of that for a hot deal price only it’s worth playing. Course bridge at the 10th hood has been under construction for a long time. No fix in sight.

Stay away from BC at least till summer

I called a day before to make tee time. No answer, but left message on tee time requested and even though they said they'd call to confirm, they never did. Nevertheless, time was reserved. After many weeks of no rain, course was not winter-muddy as you will usually find in winter months, but it was either too dry in spots, or too wet in others. Not well-maintained. We played a lot over the last spring/summer/fall months, and it was in decent shape, good enough for the fee that we pay. Not worth the drive there now. Hopefully, it will play better during the summer months, but I'd stay away for now. And, of course, the mess around the bridge closure between 10 and 11 that changes Hole 12 shows no sign of being repaired. Shoddy operation.

Great course just watch out for them trees.

First off getting to the course is a true fun drive coming from the Bay Area. The course is well maintained and the views are wonderful. Fun time avoiding all the trees but this helps keep my game straight.
The drinks are great as well.

The Great Solitude of Golf w/friends

Upon arrival to Boulder Creek Golf and Country Club, with the staff being super friendly, the scenic view of redwoods and nearly cut grass, and a wide open course, I just knew I was going score low today. After me and my buddy tee-ed off, it only took half a hole to realize that we weren't going to break the course record that day. Let alone string up a few good shots to make pars. We hacked our way thru, but nobody rushed us, we laughed on every hole, and enjoyed the solitude and friendship with nature. The price was very low, course conditions was under par, but we had fun. If this sounds like fun golf to you, I recommend this course. Thumbs up!

Great Value!

Great hot deal value! Course leaves a lot to be desired, including a “bridge out” on the back nine that requires a long detour and shortens a Par 5 to a Par 3. But the redwood scenery is spectacular, and, for the money, you can’t beat it.

Dead Golf Carts

The first 12 holes were great. Halfway through the 13th hole, the cart just died. We had to walk the rest of the course, which was not that big of a deal, but we had heard that around 12 other groups had the same issue with their carts running out of power throughout the day. The Marshall who saw our cart run out of power said to go ask for a refund, but the pro shop people were gone when we finished around 3.
Conditions on the course were pretty muddy, but the weather was nice. Would go back if we were guaranteed a cart that ran all day.

Great value...great time!

Just played Boulder Creek with my wife and friends for my wife’s birthday. Not many other players on the course mid-day on a Tuesday. We booked a Golfpass “hot deal” so it was a great value!
