South at Boulders Golf Club & Resort
About
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 course a definite must play
Course wastop if the line. We loved it was a little cold and still enjoyed our round. A definite must play course especially if you get a hot deal like we did for $105. Highly recommend
Course conditions a little rough
Fairways had clumps of wet grass everywhere, making play messy. Greens were sorely used - patches created rough surface. Despite rainy weather, course was being watered (?!) making fairway play very squishy.
Disappointing details for amount charged
The course was challenging but in very good shape, problem was other details. Had to wait for space to hit balls to warm up on the range. Do not return to clubhouse on the South course, saw the cart girl stationary by the 9th hole but not again until the 15th hole. Front tire on the cart was bald. Parking break on the cart did not lock well and had to be stepped on many times to lock. Sprinkler heads on the par 5 were not marked which made determining lay-up distances difficult. Did not expect any of these cases when playing a course and paying this rate. Shared concerns with staff at clubhouse after round but no follow up from management.
Clearly a private course with it ‘s condition and service. Found that members alternate daily between the two courses.
We played as a 2 some and still the pace of play was good.
Very enjoyable golf experience.
Staff...
Everyone we encountered was great excep for the starters..rather rude and no course info given..ie, pin placement, etc.
Top Notch
Great golf course. Played the North course. I have played this course several times. It is always in great shape and well maintained. I highly recommend it.
Avoid this course
This course needs a total over overhaul . Greens were a disaster . No views at all and the course is closed in with dead or overgrown vegetation . Pace of lay was the slowest I have experienced but I rarely play scruffy courses such as The Boulders. Every one in our group quit on the 14th hole as the play was so slow we all lost our interest. Management said “too bad , you booked with GolfNow!!”
Great desert course
This was a beautiful course and nice challenges. Rocks can either be a hindrance or a blessing, as in the case of my pinball luck on the first hole that landed me a bogey with a one putt :-).
Downsides were that this is a private resident course open to the public and the rangers were riding us for the first 9 even though we had 4 players and were close behind the group in front of us. They put 2somes and 3somes behind us who were riding us. Finally split us up but not effective because then we just ended up on top of the 4some in front of us. Very annoying and stressful for us vacationers who wanted to just relax and enjoy the $100 price tag. Also not enough water stations on the south course for it being a desert course. All in all would still play it again if the price was right.
Boulders South
The course has incredible natural beauty with enormous features, boulders, framing several holes and fairways.
The driving range was nice, putting green in a different zip code which was not convenient. As a private course the members likely know their way around the complex. As a guest, the signage is lacking. It is easy to make wrong turns.
The course is beautiful, demanding. The ranger manages to a 4.5 hour round so take extra balls. You won’t be allowed to look for your wayward shots. The desert setting is nice.
We are at “the grill” after the round and the food there is just OK. They could do better.
Course intended for better golfers. Maybe those with handicaps less than 12?
Have fun, worth the visit.
Great Course a little too expensive
The course was beautiful and I saved $20 or $30 for a HOT deal. The condition of fairways and rough were great, but several Greens had bad spots on the greens . I would play this course a lot more if the Greens fees were 25% less. I will look for another Hot Deal though. One of the thing I liked most is that the Practice Green was same exact speed as course greens and the stimp speed was posted at 11 near the starter.
Great condition, great pace of play.
Course was in fantastic shape, very challenging layout. I’ll be playing the Boulders on each of my visits.
One of my favorites
Excellent greens...you can fire at the pins. Always in great shape and fun to play. Even the “members “ were friendly
This course was very different from the other 6 we played. The scenery is really cool and makes you feel like your a flinstone. It was the shortest course we played (7000) but was still challenging enough off the tee and around the greens. Course was in GREAT shape and would recommend any skill level to play this one as it has like 7 tee boxes for all skill levels
Great Destination
We stayed and played and can't recommend it highly enough, beautiful golf course coupled with excellent accomodation. Only one warning, don't try and retrieve balls anywhere near the Cactus, I did and suffered the pain! Will definately be back on our next trip from Australia.
