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.

Exceeded expectations

Had an absolute blast playing this course! Being from Orlando this track was an absolute treat with its tight layout and elevation changes. On top of that conditions were top notch. Big shoutout to the green keepers and maintenance staff. Easily my new favorite course.

Great day of Golf

My course is closed (Wildfire at JW Desert Ridge. Got a very good rate through Golf Now. Course was in very good shape. Greens were excellent. They handled Covid. 19 requirements very well. Cart service available as was water and ice. Played the white tees at about 6,300 yards. I’m a six handicap at 69 years old. I played over 150 rounds last year. This is one of my favorite courses . We played the North course today, but either course is great to play. Occasionally in mid summer there are some course conditions but similar to most Valley courses. A little cooler at the Boulders than Phoenix.

Boulders South Course

I took a friend to play the South course at The Boulders today and we were so impressed with the beauty, the condition and the overall experience. One of the best courses I have played all winter/spring and I have played a lot.

SLOW PLAY

Slow play ruined the round. Beautiful to look at, but when you’re sitting and waiting on every shot the view gets old! They need to do something to speed up the pace of play here or it’s going to ruin the reputation.

Great course

If you are a low handicap player and want to experience true "Target golf", this course is for you. The course was in great condition and teeing off next to The Boulders on some holes makes for an unforgettable experience.

Good course. Rude staff

With all of the great courses in the Scottsdale area and the steep price they charge $179 afternoon rate even to resort guests you would think the staff would be nicer. Compare that

to Quintero (Less than $100) a course we played the next day and besides being a great course the staff was fantastic and couldn’t be nicer.

Save your money...play somewhere else.

FANTASTIC

This course was in amazing shape, and the pace of play was unbelievable. As a single, walking, I was about to play in 3 1/2 hours on the north course. This is a must play, and an enjoyable walk if you’re feeling up to it!

Great views and layout

We played the south course. Front 9 was camera worthy on every hole. Fantastic views. Must hit fairways. challenging from the blues. Got to see a bit of wildlife too. Great condition for early February. Loved it! Can’t wait to go back.

North course not as nice as South course

We had previously played the South course and absolutely loved it; this time we tried the North, on what was probably the coldest day ever in Arizona.

The overall layout is good and the holes are varied; however, we found the North course lacked the spectacular views of the South; it had less boulders, less elevated tees, less mountain views.

The course conditions were great considering the recent downpours, so Boulders is undoubtedly a top notch facility. We also saw more wildlife than the entire rest of the trip, with several deer, a lynx and a wild boar all showing up during our round.

Is Boulders a good choice of a course to play? Yes. But if you must choose, definitely go with the South course.
