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.

Boulders North

Have now played the North course 3 times and it has always been very enjoyable. Course is in great shape from tee to green with greens being smooth and medium fast. Staff was very accommodating as the got me and another gentleman off before a group of 12 was to tee off. Nice facilities with a great pro shop. Got a great deal on Golf Now.

Excellent experience at the Boulders

Played the South course yesterday for the first time. What a great golf course! The layout is excellent and the greens were in immaculate shape! You cannot find better greens in the summer months in the Phoenix area! Staff and practice area were great as well. Will definitely be coming back!

Good value yet challenging enough

Always enjoy the Boulders, be it the North or South course

Despite extremely hot weather they were enough water stations with Ice

Pace of play overall good, were let through twice by twosomes as we were also a twosome.

Greens are good fairways were average nothing memorable about any of the holes except for large boulders. Played the back nine of the north and the front of the south the south seemed better. Not really anything special to draw me back.

Starter major mistake!!!

Starter forgot to give us a map of the course, and we didn’t have a clue which way the fairway went after our tee shots on several of the holes !!!!. Cost me at least 3 strokes

South course was in great shape

Our time was a “Hot deal” thru golf now which even made it better

Mid day tee time had to wait on most tee boxes

took just over 4 hours

Seen the beverage cart 3 times

All and all it was a good time as long as you don’t mind the heat.

Greens were recently punched.

If you see a special Hot Deal for the Boulders club these days there is a good chance they just punched the greens. I experienced that this week and although the greens were just done the rest of the course is in terrific shape. With it being 100 degrees it would have been nice to see the cart girl more than once in my round. All in all a great and challenging track.

Great Course & Staff9

Top notch staff at checkin, got right out, everyone over the top friendly. Greens slightly bumpy due to recent aeration, but was advised up front. Found course extremely challenging from the blue tees at just over 6700 yards. I am an 11 handicap. Beautiful layout, everything as advertised. Lost a club at the course and had to fly home the same night. Contacted by course that my club was found and they would send it to my house at no extra cost even though I offered to pay for shipping. Not many courses give that kind of service. The Head Pro, Deane, was such a great ambassador to the course with service and answering questions. Lastly, had an excellent meal at the Grille afterwards. Overall, just a top notch course and staff. A must play, can't wait to come back!

The course layout is very good.

The only problem with course was the greens were bumpy due to being punched recently. Pace of play was slow.
