Rating 72.9

The Boulders Golf Club & Resort complex features two outstanding 18-hole courses. Both courses are very well maintained, and the scenery is incredible. Boulder's South Course is exactly the type of desert course people come to the Phoenix-Scottsdale resort corridor to play. A round of golf on the South kicks off on the par-4 first hole, which measures 421 yards from the blue tees, which is quickly followed by a short par 3, measuring 150 yards from the blue tees. Things get long on the fifth hole, a 545-yard par 5, which is just a warm-up for the 11th hole, a par 5 that measures 601 yards from the blue tees. It doesn't get much easier to finish: The 18th is a par 5 that measures 513 yards from the blue tees.

Boulders North - In town from Colorado

I know my overall rating would suggest that this wasn't a great experience, but in general i still enjoyed myself. I guess i'd say i have a typically high standard/expectation of a golf course that charges $250 for a round of golf in November. The round took 5+ hours, course condition was average, a few spots throughout the course need some love, and to be fair had some staff paying attention to some of them. Greens were furry and had quite a few extra pitch marks that i tried to repair as i went along. Water stations throughout the course were nice. My first carts GPS didn't work so i had to get that switched out, which the staff was super friendly and understanding about. They DO NOT accept GolfNow Gift cards/codes, so DO NOT buy those in hopes that you can use them here, which was a bummer. Bartender was sweet and very helpful with knowledge about the amenities and any question i had on the course. Easy course, pretty straight forward. The obvious defense was the lack of grass variation throughout the course, miss the fairway and you're in trouble. Not much back and forth made each hole feel different. Not much elevation change as to be expected in Arizona. But overall for the money i'd save my $250 and play 3-4 rounds back at home.

Very friendly staff at The Boulders!

The re-seeding had just gotten done, so that made it a little tough, but the greens were even worse. The staff and layout really made up for the greens!

Winter grass is looking beautiful and the greens are nice and fast. Others I've played recently, the greens are still rolling slowly.

North Course - Not that Scenic

My wife and I played the north course and we were overall disappointed. The course is not the scenic, plus it was cart path only because of seeding. Additionally there was a $18 surcharge for water reclamation added to my fee. Overall paid $440 for the round. There are many other courses in the area that are very nice and had much better prices.

Great course

Course was in great shape after overseeding. Very challenging for the girls but it was worth the struggle! Beautiful, scenic, friendly staff. Will definitely play again.

The Boulders North

We played a noon round on 10/20/23. We knew the course was coming out from being overseeded. You could especially tell on the greens, as the putts did not roll true and were slightly bumpy and grown out a bit. The fairways and teeboxes were in great shape.

A discounted daily rated through Nov. 1 would probably have been appropriate for the green conditions. The North Course was a nice challenge with each hole providing its own unique opportunities. The desert landscaping is stunning, as it is very dense and beautiful. Tony was an excellent starter! So friendly and helpful. Found it weird that the proshop would be closed by at the end of our round (5 PM). It would have been nice to be able to shop inside. All in all, it was a nice experience, but a bit overpriced for this time of year based on the green condition.

Boulders are first class

Walked the 18 holes. N course. Definitely a walkable course due to overseeing carts on path Only .

walking, was the way to go with pull cart.

Could have a few more water stations.

A few of the bunkers were not raked; overall beauty of the location, layout, and conditions were first class..

The staff was very friendly as well.

Nice Course but Very Expensive

My wife and I played the - North Course. Pretty nice but nothing spectacular for the price that you pa y - $440 which included a $37 water reclamation surcharge. Course was being seeded so that we only had cart path which made for a long and hot day. Overall it was an o.k. experience.
