About Boulder Creek Golf Club
Boulder Creek is a premier 27-hole municipal facility built as three distinct nine-hole loops - Desert Hawk, Coyote Run, and Eldorado Valley - that pair into three eighteens of 7,404 to 7,472 yards from the Black tees, each a par 72. Its oasis-style design layers palm trees, lakes, arroyos, waterfalls, and expansive beach bunkers against a striking desert backdrop.

The Round
The Journey at Boulder Creek Golf Club
I.
The Opening
This card pairs the Desert Hawk and Coyote Run nines, the eighteen the 27-hole club most often sets for morning play, though it chooses the routing each day. Desert Hawk opens with a par 4 that asks for a drive over the right edge of a bunker and left of the palms. The par-5 2nd has a split fairway, the par-3 4th has a ridge across its green, an arroyo crosses the 5th fairway, and a creek runs down the right of the 6th.
II.
The Middle
The 7th is the No. 1 handicap, a par 4 with a split fairway, and the par-3 8th has a big green that turns the ball right to left. The 9th, rated No. 3, doglegs around water, with a creek in front of the green. Coyote Run starts at the 10th, a wide par 4 with a greenside bunker to clear, followed by the 11th, with a large bunker in the middle of the fairway, and the par-3 12th, played over bunkers.
III.
The Finish
Big hitters can cut the corner on the par-5 13th, though the club says it still takes two big swings to get home. The 14th has a wide fairway and a small, flat green, and an arroyo crosses the 15th. The par-5 16th, rated No. 2, is the longest hole on the course, with another arroyo to manage on the second shot. The par-3 17th slopes right to left, and on the 18th long drives can carry a creek on the left.
How to Play It
Boulder Creek Golf Club — Playing Strategy
Beginner / High Handicap
Boulder Creek is long from its back tees, so pick a forward set. Fairways are wide and firm, but there is almost no rough, and a ball that leaves the short grass usually ends up in the desert. On the par-3 12th, just get the ball over the bunkers, and on the par-5 16th, stay left with the second shot if you cannot carry the arroyo.
Intermediate / Mid Handicap
Play the split fairways as the club suggests: on the par-5 2nd, the left side gives the better angle, and on the 7th, the No. 1 handicap, a drive over the right side of the cart path from the forward tees shortens the hole. Hit fairway wood or long iron off the tee on the 11th and 15th, and on the 18th carry the creek or lay up right.
Advanced / Low Handicap
The par 5s carry the scoring. The right side of the 2nd's split fairway opens a go in two if the greenside bunker can be carried, the 5th rewards an aggressive drive before the arroyo, and the 13th's corner can be cut; the club says the 16th takes three big swings. Long drives can clear the water on the 9th and the creek on the 18th.
