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.

Beautiful course, great round

This was my first time playing this course. As soon as I walked up to the front one of the staff greeted me and took my clubs and set me up with my cart and checked me in. The range was in great condition and provided a nice warmup before the round. They had us playing back North and back South due to summer maintenance. Both tracks were absolutely beautiful. The greens were ever so slightly bumpy from the aeration about a month ago but were almost back in perfect shape. Tee boxes and fairways were very nice and the few bunkers I got stuck in were well groomed. Pace of play was great, had no one in front of us and no one waiting behind us. Would definitely play here again.

Thank you for taking the time to give your feedback. Glad you enjoy the round. Welcome back. Rosie's rock is the large boulder that sits atop of 7 south blue tee box. If you go up to that tee you would see the name etched in the side of the boulder Rosie with a big heart around it. Rosie was the wife's name of the developer of The Boulders Rusty Lyon. See you again soon

Played better than expected

The north course is somewhat intimidating from the tee. It looks narrow with desert in range on every shot. Turns out I only lost one ball when I was well short on a long forced carry. Overall, more playable than it appears at first glance. Very pleasant experience. Staff was very friendly. An exceptionally slow mixed foursome let us play through and we finished in about 3:45 - pretty good for any course and exceptional for a resort

Always a Pleasure to play !

Need a few more open spots on the range. Shouldn’t have to wait to hit balls and good portion of the range was available. No one met me to get my clubs out of my vehicle. I put them on a cart myself. Would have been nice to know the greens had recently been punched and sanded. I would have booked another time.

Thank you for taking the time to give your feedback. We would like to apologize for the green conditions not living up to your expectations. Our aerification schedule is North course is done May 10-16 and South course May 17-23. We do our best to make sure this is communicated when tee times are made either online or by calling the golf shop. Looking forward to you giving The Boulders a second chance once our green's heal up. Hope to see you soon.

This course ROCKS!

Perfectly manicured as well as managed. Never had to wait on any tee and only held up the foursome behind once when all three of us went OB. Let them (twosome) play through and then righted the ship and we were off.

Service was phenomenal. Drink cart stocked well. Side note; $7 for beer and $7 for bottled water. Ridiculous. Then got to the bathroom and it had an ice and water machine for free! That was the only thing that was unfortunate. Overall phenomenal. 6 stars out of 5!
