Boulder City golf means three public courses within ten minutes of each other: Cascata, the Rees Jones canyon course with a forecaddie in the fee; Boulder Creek, a 27-hole public facility; and Boulder City Golf Course, the municipal 18. The town sits 33 to 41 minutes from the Strip, between Henderson, Lake Mead and Hoover Dam.
This guide covers each course, what the files show for fees, and the hotels and RV parks that put you minutes from the tee. Fees were seen in 2026 and change by date. Boulder City is higher than the airport where NOAA's normals are measured, so dawn can run a few degrees colder in winter.

See the Cascata course guide and the full Cascata Golf Club guide.
Boulder Creek Golf Club
Boulder Creek has three nines, Desert Hawk, Coyote Run and Eldorado Valley, played as 18-hole combinations, with online booking at bouldercreekgc.com or on (702) 294-6534. Rates, tees and overseed dates were not captured, so check when you book and ask which two nines are in play. It is roomy, easy to get on and far cheaper than Cascata up the road. See the Boulder Creek course guide.
Boulder City Golf Course
Boulder City Golf Course is the town's municipal 18, par 72, with resident and non-resident rates. GolfNow sold tee times at $51.99 to $61.99 with cart from late August to early October 2026. The club site was blocked when checked, so the address, tees and ratings are not in our files; the phone number is (702) 293-9236. It is an old-school round that pairs with a Hoover Dam day. See the Boulder City Golf Course guide.
Boulder City as a golf base
Boulder City is a small, non-gaming town (Railroad Pass and Hoover Dam Lodge, on the highways at either end, have small casinos), which is the point for some groups: quiet nights, no resort fees at the places we track, and three courses within ten minutes.
| Stay | Cascata | Boulder Creek | Boulder City GC | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Boulder Dam Hotel | 9 min | 6 min | 6 min | historic, downtown |
| Best Western Hoover Dam Hotel | 8 min | 5 min | 6 min | plain, budget |
| Railroad Pass | 6 min | 7 min | 14 min | small casino, on the road in |
| Hoover Dam Lodge | 15 min | 13 min | 14 min | small casino toward the dam |
None of these were on the November 2026 resort-fee tracker; for Railroad Pass and Hoover Dam Lodge, whether any fee applies was not confirmed. No room rates were captured. Compare them with Henderson in where to stay in Las Vegas for golf.
RV parks and winter stays
| RV park | Boulder Creek | Cascata | Rates in our files |
|---|---|---|---|

Canyon Trail has 156 full-hookup sites with a pool, hot tub, laundry and dog park. Boulder Oaks adds tax and electric to each rate, and some lots are privately owned, so prices vary by lot. Lake Mead RV Village is inside the national recreation area, where entry fees may apply. See Las Vegas RV parks and Las Vegas winter golf for snowbirds.

How far is Boulder City golf from the Las Vegas Strip?
In free-flow traffic, Cascata is about 33 minutes from the Strip at Flamingo Rd, Boulder Creek about 35 minutes and Boulder City Golf Course about 41 minutes. From a Boulder City hotel, all three are within about 10 minutes.

Is Boulder City a good base for a golf trip?
It suits groups who want quiet: Boulder City is a non-gaming town, with small casino hotels only on the highways at Railroad Pass and toward Hoover Dam, and none of the Boulder City hotels we track were on the November 2026 resort-fee list. Cascata is about 9 minutes from the Boulder Dam Hotel. The Strip is about 35 to 45 minutes away, so it is a poor base for nightlife.
