South at Boulders Golf Club & Resort

. Do not play this course if you have other choices. It's overpriced compared to every other premium public course in Scottsdale. It took over five hours to play around. We waited on every shot at the turn, the staff told us to hurry up, we said where ? The final insult injury was they don't give you any bottles of water. There are none available in the course and you can buy a bottle of water for 9 dollars. I used to love the boulders. No more.

The course was absolutely picturesque and very challenging!

The cart path only rule made it a long round. Over 5 1/2 hours. Still a great place to play, if you get the chance

Would not play the course with overseeding and no driving range for warm up. The 14.00 dollar beers was extreme too.

Excellent layout with great backdrop of boulders on South course. Varied hole layouts make for interesting round.

Second time playing The Boulders, and the course layout and landscape is second to none in the PHX area, but that's about where the good times end. Tee times are already expensive, but F&B is way too spendy, feels like I'm at a stadium and they're trying to rip you off. Our drinks and breakfast burritos to start the day was over $200... Our 8:30 AM round took 5 1/2 HOURS! Groups severely backed up on every tee box, it's cart path only this time of year, which really sucks, but they need to space out the times better so it's reasonable to play without waiting for every shot.

We didn't see the beverage service cart until hole 11, (3 hours into the round) but the worst part of all of it was THERE WERE MAINTENCE CREW ON EVERY SINGLE HOLE. Mowing, blowing, digging, pulling weeds, and being extremely noisy without any regard to the golfers. Horrible ettiquite. They continued to run their machines while we were putting, oftentimes the mowers drove right past us in the fairways, followed by multiple guys with leaf blowers 50 years away.. and on one par 3, the mower didn't stop mowing the fringe the whole time we were teeing off. It felt like I was at Top Golf trying to hit the guy grabbing the balls...

Overall, an awful experience. We talked to the director, John, after our round to bring up our concerns, and his response surprised us at the time, but looking back, seems par for the course out there. He said he would "do some research" and email me... To which today I got his email saying "next time you come out, let me know and I'll see what I can do."

Customer Service starts at the top buddy, and your staff clearly gets their attitude from you. There won't be a next time for us, unfortunately.

The Boulders has unprecedented real estate which will continually draw golfers to pay terribly high rates for a look at the views. This course needs some serious attention and updates. The golf carts and on-cart technology is from the 90’s, worked about 4-5 holes of my round and my cart had 4-5 large holes in it. The course, though in overseeding and beautiful green color, was years behind in its upkeep with improper edging around bunkers and greens that had long lost their original shape and design. I hate to speak this way about The Boulders as the terrain and views are beyond compare, the rest of this enterprise is lost in the 90’s.

If Innew it was cartpath only and no driving range, I would have cancelled my TTime and went somewhere else.

Excellent course and layout. Marshalls have to better enforce pace of play. Pace was painful and unnecessary as groups wasting time ahead chatting in the fairway with people on the tee repeatedly. Hanging out on the tee box telling stories after they have hit while people waiting at the tee.

Well this was the second time here over the years. The last time was as pleasurable. This time had a nice foursome. Course was in very good condition and greens true and fast. I actually like the layout of the North Course, it has some holes that make it interesting and doesn’t try to kill you on every shot. Also, booked on GolfNow and for ~$80 this course was a great value. After my experience this time, I’d come here to play again.

Called the day previous to confirm no issues with the course…gentleman on the phone said course was in great shape and they would start aerificaton on the greens Monday. Showed up to the course and on the drive in notice the fairways of the south course were completely yellow and sprayed to hurry the Bermuda to go dormant (in preparation to lay rye). No notice in description on golfnow or troon website. Fortunately the guys in the proshop discounted our round, and made things right! On a brighter note, they recently reseeded the practice putting green to Bermuda and it was in the best shape I’ve ever seen it. The greens rolled pure on the south course and were reseeded to Bermuda as well almost 2 years ago and are softening up a bit but it is still quite difficult to hold. They’ve also eliminated the evasive species of grass that was popping up in the greens that had to be driving the regulars crazy.

Great place. Nearly died- only saw the beer girl 1 time.

Must play course in great condition with scenic views and challenging landscape. Played on a nice cloudy day and had a great time. Extras cost extra, haha but range is free and really I got a smoking deal so can't complain.
