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 Day at The Boulders

From tee to green, on every hole, The Boulders provided an outstanding layout and conditions to make for an exceptionally-pleasant golf experience. Milder temperatures ... with no one else on the course ... only added to the joy of day’s round.

A favorite of mine

I have loved playing the boulders for a long time. Unfortunately it’s way too pricey for me in the winter months, so i only play here in the summer. It’s always in good condition and pleasurable.

Not impressed

We played a split course , teeing off on the back 9 of the north course and finishing on the front nine of the south course . The back 9 of the north course is in rough condition, they are having a watering problem as there was make shift watering devices on nearly every hole , making play somewhat distracting. The front nine of the south course was much better , however they obviously are having issues with fairway grass and weeds . Overall I would give the experience a solid C .

Sizzling Boulders South Course

Boulders South course is a great test for average-strong golfers. A rather hot 114 degree day with no breeze added to challenge - course in good condition and greens were excellent. Every hole is set up differently and views amazing. Desert golf at its best.

Best courses in north valley

The boulders has 2 courses and they usually split them so you play part of each course. They have multiple tee boxes so you can pick where you want to play from. Even in the sweltering heat of an Arizona the greens are impeccable. I don't know how they do that! The Staff are always friendly and helpful And it's just a beautiful location with beautiful views and very serene
