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.

20 plus years in the making!!!

I first read about this resort over 20 years ago in Golf magazine, and said to myself if I ever went to the desert Southwest, I wanted to play this course. My wife and I at the resort for a week had a great time. I played the course during that time. Yes, they were some dry spots and they’re reworking some of the tee boxes but the scenery was spectacular and overall the experience was exceptional. Practice area was is great shape!!

I will NOT another 20 years to come back….lol

Nice course when they're not ripping up 1/3 of the tee boxes!

Wasn't sure if we were playing golf or working on/in a construction site! Booked WITHOUT any notice of at least 6 tee boxes being renovated. Half of the time you could hear/see big equipment moving earth. Not conducive to playing a relaxed round of golf. Course was in god shape and plays tough with forced carries and some tight fairways, but I doubt I will trouble myself to play there again.

Tee boxes closed

2 holes we were forced to tee off from the fairway. No sight lines.

If holes were altered, it should have been stated prior to the reservation.

This is truly a gem.

This course is exceprional. It is a must play if you are in the area. It is a great place to take visiting friends, whether they play golf or not. The facilities are unequaled. If you aren’t delighted, it’s you and not The Boulders. Just joking, maybe.

First class

Every club in you bag: a challenge from dog legs, dry washes, elevated greens and perfectly placed traps. Your mission is to enjoy the setting, and relax with everything from the cart girl to the clubhouse store, the experience was first class all around.

Good but there were little things

Overall I was happy playing the Boulders South course. It was a little challenging with the narrow fairways and some carries.

BUT, they recently punched the fairways and there were 2 holes with temporary tee boxes. I was hoping for a premium golf round but it was a good and not great.

I'd play here again after things are fixed up.

Overall had a good experience. Pace of play was awesome. Lay out of the course was pretty cool. Staff extremely helpful and kind. Conditions of the course weren’t the best. A lot of dead grass and could use some serious water but other than that we had a great time and would play again.

slow grainy greens

great course layout and staff is very good....practice green was about 11 on the meter, but greens on south course were closer to 8 and very grainy ...very difficult to putt them

fairways could use some water because of numerous dormant dry areas, but had a good time and enjoyed the course
