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!
One of the most picturesque courses in the Phoenix area!! The course was well manicured and greens rolled true.
I would play it everyday if I could!
Beautiful desert layout
The course was in great shape. Stay on the fairway-or, bring a lot of balls. The scenery surrounding the course was at times, breathtaking! A little expensive to play but don't miss it if you're out that way.
South Course is beautiful & very challenging!
The South course at The Boulder's Club in Carefree, AZ is as beautiful a desert course as you will EVER play. The desert around and running through this course has been left in it's wild natural state (like the North course here) and it is gorgeous. Unless you are an accurate player with confidence to just "hit it" you will find this desert more than once and good luck playing out of it. The course is visually intimidating off the tee on most of the holes. It is a little wider than it looks, but shots along the edges WILL roll into the desert. Great greens!
NOT a course for beginners or sprayers of the golf ball! I think it plays tougher than it's slope rating, especially for the bogey golfer.
Excellent Conditions/Greens
Classic target golf in AZ. Overall conditions were excellent. Greens were rolling at 11 which were quicker than most we played during AZ golf weekend of early May 2017. Treated well. Could definitely tell it is a members facility that alternates the course that is open to high green fee public play. Nice layout. plenty of room for error but again...target golf with a lot of carries over desert. Fun par threes. Excellent boulder views! Would play again...but not at $150-250.
Efficiency vs Friendliness
Appears that the focus with the staff is on efficiency not friendliness. Cart person was definitely not having a good day. Pro shop person was probably the one I would single out as efficient AND friendly. Year-round resident golfers appreciate friendliness. Remember that this summer!
Boulders in AZ
Spectacular desert views and plant life, course was in excellent shape. The greens were perfect. Will play again for sure.
Top notch course
I played the North course. It was prestine with plush fairways and receptive greens. Thoroughly enjoyed playing this course.
I wanted to play this course because it was a Jay Morrish design and he designed my home course. I enjoyed the layout of the course, however around the 1 and 10 teeing area there is too much traffic, the course was extremely busy all throughout the round with random people walking across the course and workers all over. Then a 1oz(single) drink was $12. I thought i was at a New York night club.
Awesome views and fun course
Really enjoyed the course and the dramatic Boulders throughout the course.
Up dates required
Nice track but a few things would have made round better
GPS in carts would have been nice at that price point instead of reading a card that my reading glasses could barley pick up.
Carts are old and tired.
Tee areas are marked poorly in places our foursome drove by a couple and had to turn around and we noticed other foursomes doing the same.
I just find it frustrating that there is no sand in bunkers not enough to get the club under the ball and at that price point , I expect it.
Not the Real Boulders
Enjoyed the course. The North course is somewhat expensive for what you get. The scenery is not even close to the south course. Disappointed because my guest had never played here and thought he was going to see the large rock formations. Just make sure you play the south if you want the Boulders experience. North is a very nice course
Wonderful views, incredible course
I've played 7 or 8 of the Golf Top 100 You Can Play, Boulders South is on that list and very deservedly so. The views all around the course were wonderful and the course itself was incredible. The layout is challenging but playable - landing areas are big enough to swing away on most driving holes, although many times a targeted shot is best. Greens were quick but not overly so. Sand is very consistent which makes it easier to develop a tactic when hitting out. Course conditions were green and lush - top rate in every way. The staff was friendly and was obviously hustling to keep things moving. One of the best in PHX!
