Style Desert
Par 71
Length 6917 yards
Slope 142
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.

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 !!

Course should be closed while greens top dressed

Greens were punched and top dressed. Still no grass coming through the sand and should not be in play until greens return to being playable.

Let people know you punch the greens

The course conditions were terrible. The fairways were air-raided the greens were punched and sanded. There were puddles in sand traps. All of which is necessary but they should inform you when booking or discount the round. The scenery is stunning and the course layout is good. Just disappointed in the conditions of the course while still paying full price.

Beautiful course with awesome views. Greens were in fair shape. Rolled well but looked bad. The rest of the course was perfect. Staff was friendly. Would definitely go back.

Great staff. Played the South Course. Great shape except for the greens…….a little stressed and dry but the ball rolled well.

We’ll be back to play the North Course.

Beautiful but needs work

Great layout and views. The sand traps need a lot of work, a lot of grass in them and growing down from the rough into the traps.

Also, some of the greens don’t look very good for a course with a high price tag like this one.

A true desert experience!

First time golfing in Arizona and found a great deal on GolfNow so jumped on it. Such a cool course! Don’t know if I’d pay full price, but I thought the course was in good shape and the scenery was awesome. I can see why it’s on many lists of places to visit in the Phoenix area. Also liked that the green fee included cart, range balls, towel and tees to use etc.
