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.

Beautiful

This is definitely on the list of "must play courses" in the valley. Some of the best greens I've putted on in a while. Beauty all around and a nice layout (several strong dog legs). It's pricier but worth it.

Fantastic views!

First time playing this course! Fun desert style course with beautiful views of the mountains. Greens, tees, and fairways were in great shape. If you don’t hit it straight, make sure you bring a couple extra balls.

Incredible Shape

I come out to Phoenix every summer to play golf for a week and have been to The Boulders 5 straight years. Played it today and it is in the best condition that I have ever seen it. Greens are perfect.....fairways lush.....tee boxes great. In absolutely perfect condition. Played as a single in under 3 hours.....wonderful course!

Great Conditions

The course was in winter season shape in August after a record heat wave in the area. Props to the grounds crew that managed that. That aside, the course is a great challenge, with accuracy off the tee a must. Plan to take a few extra balls as the rough is desert scrub and wayward shots are usually not recoverable. The tee boxes were excellent and the greens even better. I do not recall a single bare spot in the fairways either. Great views and great golf.

Awesome Views and Fast Greens

My first time playing the Boulders and it was pretty awesome. I played the south course which had great views of the valley and really picturesque holes. The fairways were in really good shape for a desert course in the middle of summer. The bunkers had nice sand didn't penalize you too bad if you find yourself in the beach. The greens were fast, but not stupid fast. I got a hot deal so the price was right. This was a fun track that I will be playing again.

Great Experience!

First time at the Boulders and everything was as advertised. Teed off at 6:30am , no one in front or back so pace was great. Course was in incredible shape. Greens were hard so shots into the green rolled farther than expected but you adjust. Scenery was incredible. Would definitely play again.
