I have played this course since it opened. It is a "target" course with water on 16 of the holes but it is rather short.
When they opened, they had greeters and rangers and yardage units on each cart. Of course all the carts, cart paths, and grounds were all new. I presume the mowers were new as well. I always enjoyed the course. Then the son of a owner took over management and was very grumpy to people. The course has gone down hill ever since. Cart paths are worn and bridges are failing. No starter, no ranger, no range finders on the carts. The "grill" was full time and had great lunches. Not any more, yet their green fees are up as high or higher that other courses around in the same 20 mile radius. Today, the tee boxes were long grass, the apron to many holes were so soft you got no bounce, the rough varied from 4 inches to 8 inches, For golfers over an 18 handicap, it it very, very difficult. Even from the gold tees, it's a difficult course.
I believe the course has much potential but it seems to be going downhill. I hope it stays open but I'm not optimistic.

Thought we were playing in the US Open. Greens were very hard and fast. Windy so there were leaves all over the course. Hard to find your ball even on the fairway!

Only 7 minutes between tee times, makes for a slow round. But it was Sunday afternoon.

I play this course several times a year. It is usually a good value if you are willing to drive a distance. I don't ever remember there being so much winter kill. The fairways were half dead and half green. Tee boxes were a mix as well. Some had red through blue tees all on one spot and they were well worn, tough to find grass. With no starter, it was confusing just when to tee off. That is getting to be normal anymore. It was nice to see green grass and get out for the first time this year.

Not one of my favorite courses. As an older bogie + golfer, I found many difficult holes without adequate markers or directions. I end up spending too much time looking for balls that are difficult to follow. Clubhouse is best part of the experience.

I have liked Boulder Pointe since the day it opened. It has been sad to see it go through hard times but I believe it is on the upward way. It was a beautiful Saturday morning at 10:30 when we teed off. The course was in great shape except for the unrepaired ball marks on some the greens. We had a wonderful time, the staff was very friendly and helpful. Although the course has lots of water hazards, I believe it to be very fair. If played correctly, the water will not interfere with play. I would recommend this course to everyone except then it might be busier. Play it and I think you will believe it's fair.

For a short (2,500 yd.), 9 hole course, it is very green, very old with large trees, ample fairways on most holes. Several holes are gimmicky unless you can hit over tall trees or layup, leaving a long play to the green.
The only staff I saw was at check in, no starter, no refreshment cart, no ranger, no one else minding the course. I saw no foursomes, mainly one's and two's.

After being terribly disappointed on Tues, we hit the "gold mine" on Thurs. What a wonderful course. Free range balls for any reservation. Tee boxes were groomed, fairways were over-seeded to give Bermuda grass time to rebound from winter. Bunkers were raked and fluffy, and greens were meticulous. The staff was friendly, just couldn't ask for a better experience for early in the year.

Very disappointed is all I can say. I know it's been wet but it appears that there is no grounds keeping. More mud than grass, cart paths in shambles, only the greens were in understandable repair and they had been recently airified with the sand washed away. I play 70 to 100 rounds a year and have never played on such devastation. Even if you get a good rate, don't waste your money. Two days later and 30 miles away, we played a wonderful course for $2 more. Sorry!

Weather had been frosty for several days but Bermuda fairways were in good condition, greens were good but not great. A cold morning turned into a beautiful early afternoon. Staff was excellent and friendly. This time of year, I could not have ask for more! This is a great course for intermediate golfers.

What an enjoyable afternoon. Weather was great, course was in good condition, game was average.
White tee's are fairly short, 6,000 yds. Greens were probably faster than average, huge trees line the fairways but plenty of room. Didn't lose a ball, very little water on the course; bunkers are old but didn't come into play much. It is part of the city park and it is a nice walk in the park! Challenge is small and some turtleback greens.

A little hard to find but what a beautiful course and facilities. We will definitely go back. Inside staff were friendly and we had a wonderful day to play. Very fast greens, the fastest I've ever played. That's what makes it a 130+ slope. The course isn't that difficult except for the greens.

The one problem we had was a maintence mower that followed us for several holes and acted like WE were in his way. He drove for 80 yards right at me while I waited to hit. He mowed the far side of the fairway as we were trying to play a ball on the near side. We waited for him to pull out of our way several times. Hopefully next time he will not be there.

Like I said, we will go back again in a heart beat!

What a beautiful Course! Tough but fair. I would rate it higher than the other Northfield course. It was men's day but most moved right along. Our group is sometimes slow because we are all bogey golfers or higher and it was new to us, but you coulod usually find your ball, we didn't spend all day looking. I hope to golf it again very soon!

Being very familiar with Creeks Bend, I looked forward to my 2nd round of the year and was pleased with the conditions of the course. No, it wasn't perfect but being Spring and with the amount of rain we've had; the course is in pretty good condition. As is common for this course in the spring, the driving range was closed which I really need this early. Wish they would do something about that. Some wet spots on the course but they are always working to improve things and I appreciate that.
This is a course that you really need guidance to get around but after one or two rounds it can be a fun and well kept course.

We had played this course years ago and said we wouldn't go back but were told improvements had been made. I saw some changes but no improvements. Tee boxes were worn to bare ground, many places on the fairway were bare ground. It appeared that nothing was being done at this time it maintain the course.

This very challenging 18 hole couse belies the slope rating of 120. I have recently played courses with a slope rating of 130+ and found them much easier. With very few flat hitting surfaces, one constantly has the ball below or above your feet. You are constantly hitting uphill or downhill. Obviously I did not play well on this course. The course was in excellent condition, the staff was minimal and hurried. I won't be returning very often.

This georgous course is masterfully tucked back into the hills of western Wisconsin. What I really appreciate about it is that you are not shooting blindly over hilltops and around blind corners. You don't get punished for a good shot, you don't lose balls when it should be in the fairway. There are several tee boxes to a lower fairway and green, which just show the beauty of the course. But it is challenging, 6200+ yards for the white tees is all I can handle and 6700+ for the blue tees!!.

This is a nice course for bogey golfers, good value. But, no rangers, no staff to assist anyone other than one person in the pro shop and not much assistance there. You get what you pay for, even with GolfNow!

This year in particular is a tough year for many courses. There is lots of winter kill, tee boxes are in poor condition. Fairways are well cut but winter kill on 25% with bare spots and ground under repair. In regular years, this course is beautiful and challenging.
