A piece of heaven

My wife and I have played here twice since arriving in California on vacation. We have played in Ireland (where we live) in Scotland, England, France and the US and we love everything about Boulder Creek. The course is so different and challenging, the staff are so friendly and helpful. We hope to play here many more times before we head home.

Too many par 3s.

It’s an ok course. The drive there is pretty nice, but other than that, it’s got way too many par 3s.

Short but Nice Course

Short yardage holes for the most part which should lead to several birdies if you can hit the ball straight. If not, bring extra balls since many fairways are narrow bordered by heavy trees, brush and private property., Pretty course in the redwoods. Fairways and greens in decent condition but far from pristine. Cart paths full of potholes and root upheaves.

Nice walk through the woods

Enjoyed a nice round in perfect weather at BCCC. The greens were in great shape and the fairways are firm and in pretty good shape. You won't need your driver much but course has good practice for your short game. Tees could use some work but overall a fun place to play.

Walked

Natural Setting

Very relaxing golf, serene conditions. The holes are shorter but narrow, lots of chances for long irons or 5W tee shots on par 3s and 4s. Smooth greens for the most part. Nice sand bunkers. Good place for iron shots from 5i to Wedge on the 10 par 3s. Nice stroll if you are a walking player.

Great Value...Slow on Friday Afternoon

My wife and I really enjoyed our round, but an extreme back up of slow players drove us to play the front 9 twice. And we enjoyed that second nine even more than the first nine.
