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.

Well worth the cost

The course was in impeccable condition. The views were breathtaking and the rough was nicer than fairways back east. The course is much better shape than when we played last over the summer and I'd play here again in a heartbeat. Friendly staff made all the difference.

Both courses are in top shape, despite the over seeding. South is tougher than North. Staff could not have been more gracious and accommodating.

I love this place.

The course is only a couple weeks out of overseed but the beauty of this area makes up for everything. Fairways were soft and longer than normal but I don’t dare, this is heaven on earth for me.

Not worth 281.00!! 160..Yes

I have been fortunate to have been able to golf many amazing and expensive golf courses. I don't like paying a ton of money on green fees, but when on a golf trip with awesome friends and an amazing course, I'll allow it. I have never wrote a review based on how expensive a course is, but this time I need to. Paying 281.00 to play target golf is not my style. Our group played TPC Stadium and Quintero the 2 days prior and we payed for a reply at both. I would pay double for those other courses before I even think about coming back to The Boulders. Don't get me wrong. This course is great... but the price is NOT worth it at all. Save your money and play Quintero twice!!! Now that's a course that is worth it's price.

Beautiful course!

I’m glad I had the opportunity to play this course. I will definitely go back when I’m in the area again. Course conditions were outstanding. All the holes are set in beautiful locations. Homes surrounded most of the course but were low profile and set back so I hardly noticed them.

a few holes had a little trick built in...blind shots, landing areas.

but I am sure that played again....those would not be a problem. greens were in great shape and rolled very true!

And some GREAT views all over the course!!!!

Beautiful scenery

Great course, it was fun to see the wildlife on the course. We saw a javalina family, lots of bunnies, a buzzard. The course was in ok condition. Not as plush as would be expected for the area, but it is close to overseeding time in Az so they were probably preparing for that. The flow of this course was good, a few challenges that kept it interesting. Would be nice to be able to choice which course to play instead of them picking for you. Overall great place, would definitely play again.

Incredible Views

Played the North back and the South front, both had incredible views and picturesque moments. The layout was really enjoyable, but not for the average golfer as fairways are tight. We were paired with two beginner golfers (great people) but they must have lost a few dozen balls each. I played from the blues which I soon found out were essentially the blacks as they shared the tee box on almost every hole. You definitely want to make sure your drive is dialed in or you will lose a lot of balls. Some really cool elevated tee boxes that had some beautiful drop shots. What really impressed me were the greens, they were extremely fast and rolled very smooth. Overall this was a great course and a fun day.

Better be good off the tee

This course is awesome but you better have a lot of confidence off the tee. This is not for slicers or someone that is not accurate off the tee. Green were challenging but true. You need to play target golf and can’t just hit driver on every hole. Absolutely love this course and the layout. Great for low handicappers.
