Poor condtions

It's a beautiful site and it looks like the kind of place where you're going to experience a beautiful course, well-maintained. NOT! It is a beautiful course and the rate to play there is reasonable, but up there. For that money, you'd expect well-maintained conditions. But, no. Lots of areas where it was roped off, places where it was muddy, and places where it was dried out and where grass and dirt mixed together to make hitting the next shot more than challenging. I will not bother to pay $80 (the discounted price) to play there again.

Course is neglected - Stay Away!

It has been a while since I've played Black Horse. It was always a challenging course, but also a lot of fun with it's variances and undulating greens. The course conditions were always good.

Now, the course is, to use as nice a word as I can think of, neglected. The fairways are broken up with grass and dirt, making it very difficult to get off your shot. The roughs are more than rough. It is apparent that a whole bunch of housing is going up in and around the course, and this is what is the focus there. There are courses that cost less than 1/2 as much that play better. I really feel that I'm owed a refund and I'd urge golfers to stay away.

long wait and slow pace

I arrived early to warm up. That was way too early. As it turned out, with a 12:45 tee time, we didn't get out till close to 1:30. And then the pace of play was horrendous. Waited at every hole. And was only able to complete just over half the course! They know this and they should space out the tee times, particularly on a Saturday when many slow players are out and they are booked solid.

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.

Not playing well now

We are locals and play here pretty regularly, once or twice a month. Up till this last time, the course was playing pretty good, but now it is beaten up. Even though the ground was damp, it was rock solid and made it difficult to hit off of. In addition, the greens played very fast and threw us off from playing there previously. We've really enjoyed playing this course, but the conditions are just bad right now, and until the course conditions are improved, and perhaps that won't be until after the winter rains, we won't be returning.

Hello, Scott6734816. Thank you for reviewing the course. Your feedback about the course is important to us. With the recent rain we are working to get everything up to par. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We will continue to work towards an excellent experience by using your comment for guidance. Thank you for playing Boulder Creek Golf & Country Club. We hope to see you again soon.

Greens need work

I like this course as I live in the county and it's a fun course to play with its narrow fairways and trees. Overall, the course is in better shape than its been in years. Be great when they finish the work around the 12th hole and you can play it again as a Par 5. When's the ETA for that fix to be done?

My biggest beef with this course is that there are dirt spots on the greens. This is inexcusable. This should be repaired! I can think of a few such as on the 2nd hole and on the 17th. There are others, too. Fix this!
