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.

Not in the Best Playing Conditions

Scheduled to play the North Course (as the South Course is closed for the summer), we learned that Hole 1 was closed due to bunker work, and we would start on the Back 9, only to play 17 holes. The range surface was a little sparse; tee boxes were good; fairways, in many places, were wet (greatly reducing roll); greens were quite slow but ran true; many sand traps were wet (complicating shots). Course was empty (at 11:30), given the 111* heat. A good value still.

Thank you for taking the time to give your feedback. You said it best its 111 degrees out. Course is wet in some places so it doesn't burn up. We are happy to say that we are getting new greens on the South course and should be available to play towards the end of October. The North Course is 17 holes due to a bunker renovation. Glad you enjoy the round. See you again soon

Beautiful scenery

This is a very fun place to play desert golf. There are great desert views but the course is very playable although challenging at the same time!

I would highly recommend playing here especially if you can pick up a hot rate!

Beautiful course

Played the North course. Was a beautiful course in excellent condition. Two of the 18 holes were recently aerated but did not detract from the experience. This is definitely on my list of coursed to play again, especially at the lower summer rates.

What a beautiful, challenging course. I had wanted to play this course for years. It was well worth the wait. A little soggy in some places which produced a number of mud balls but well worth the drive. I plan to play it again soon.

Great day at Boulders

So there were really bad reviews for the Boulders and we were very skeptical about playing there. I never played the Boulders and really wanted to play so we did it. Great round! The staff in the restaurant and golf shop were over the top good. We played the North course and it was in very good shape. I think the prior reviews were for the South course? Anyway I'll be back for sure!

Sloooww play

5 stars for the course and staff. This is a great course and location. We always enjoy playing both North and South courses. Unfortunately, yesterday was painfully slow due to 2 foursomes ahead that wouldn’t speed up or let me play through. They were either locals or members and knew I was waiting on them since hole #2, never offered to let me through while they were hitting 2 balls on most holes. Great course, just poor etiquette.

South course greens are dead

I have taken groups of 30 - 40 to The Boulders numerous times over the past 20 years. This course was one of our group's favorites and I bragged to the new members of the trip how much they would enjoy the day. We were told the greens were scheduled to be punched and were offered a discounted rate when I made the reservations five weeks out. Upon arrival the cart attendants told me the greens were a disaster and unplayable as something happened during the punching process. We were not offered any additional discount or or even advised by the clubhouse of the situation. Arriving at the 1st green on the South Course we were shocked. All of the greens are unplayable and frankly the course should be shut down. Playing another course later in the week that manager told me The Boulder's greens had been killed by mistake and they would all need to be replaced. I advise skipping the course until they replace all the 18 dead greens on the South course !!

Good news we have a bunker / green renovation scheduled for this summer. Hope to see you back in November when we have both courses back open.
