Course Highlights
The Boulders South Course delivers a visually stunning, championship-caliber layout that consistently earns praise as one of Arizona's best. Attentive staff and smooth pace of play round out an elevated golf experience worth adding to any bucket list.

About

Holes 18
Type Resort/Public
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.

Course condition

I was really surprised of the poor condition. There was way too many weeds around the greens to be acceptable. The greens were in poor shape.

The Grass was too long in the Tee boxes.

Once you placed your tee. You could hardly see your ball.

The practice putting green was in horrible shape.

I found the condition shocking.

Thank you for taking the time to give your feedback. We would like to apologize for the course conditions not living up to your expectations. We are having challenges with Goose Grass that is cause by the amount of moister we have had this summer. We should have the courses back in tip top condition in a couple weeks. Looking forward to you giving The Boulders a second chance. Hope to see you soon.

Wont be back anytime soon-

I have golfed this course many times and this is the 1st time Im leaving being highly disappointed!

First the Good-

Friendly Staff checking In and at Bag Dropoff

Front 9 we cruised, 2hrs and 10 mins. Big thumbs up to that!

Now the Bad-

Back 9 they let out Members (Waited over 15mins to Tee off after Front 9) than waited anywhere from 5 to 8mins on every Tee Box

Course wasnt in the Best of Conditions

Fairways were good

Greens really bad and alot of dead spots on them, Fringe was Mud or Crab Grass and couldnt putt thru most of it

Bunkers next to No Sand, alot of Rocks and Grass in them

Stopped in for a Bagel at turn and Bartender had the Personality of a Stale Bran Muffin

And with all the Not Good above they still charged 119, Course shouldve been No more than 70 bucks at best

Hopefully they turn things around as this is Normally a really great Course

One & Done, Nice but Overpriced

We reside in the N Phoenix/Scottsdale area during the winter. We decided to play Boulders while there in August to help a family member move. Rate was $89 vs $200+ in winter. Its a nice layout with beautiful scenery. Course condition was good but perhaps not as good as I would expect from an exclusive high end resort. We enjoyed it, glad we played it but its one & done for us as I don't think its a good value at the price.

Thank you for taking the time to give your feedback. Glad you enjoy the round. You should look into the Troon card and get an even better rate than the $89 rate. Hope to see you again.

Fun Course

Fun course, a few greens had dead spots on them with some sort of crab grass growing. The fairways were in excellent condition.

We had lunch at the restaurant after our round. The service was terrible for no one being in the restaurant. We waited for our drinks, then waited for our food, then waited for our check. Finally, I got up and went and chased down the waiter to get our check so we could leave! Not good!

Greens are terrible

Greens are unkept full of ball marks and very slow. Pace of play 5 plus hours unwarranted. Need to space the tee times out further and push the poor players more. I won’t be back!

Boulders is well worth it

Course is challenging but fair, greens were very good and staff was helpful. I can’t get enough of the centerpiece of the “boulders” and the way the course is situated around them. You won’t be disappointed!

Sweet!

Everyone that works there was super nice. The course layout is amazing. The views are unreal! After 2 holes I knew I was coming back. The fringes right now are messed up not sure why but that’s the only issue with the course. I’m going back tomorrow!

Beautiful views, difficult layout

The boulders course was amazing! Had the opportunity to the play the south course and it was absolutely awesome! Loved some of the elevated tee shots with the boulders right next to you. I am a 10 handicap and ended up with an 86 for my first round at the boulders, the course proposed a challenging layout which I enjoyed very much. I will definitely be back soon to play again. My only wish would be lowering the rates even more during the summer time
