North at Boulders Golf Club & Resort
Rating Snapshot
About
Nestled among 12-million-year-old boulders in the scenic desert foothills near Scottsdale, Arizona, Boulders Golf Club & Resort is one of the country's most prestigious resort destinations. The North golf course at Boulders plays big brother to the South Course, and offers bentgrass and marvelous views of the Black Mountain, as the course winds through the community of Boulders. Both golf courses spring from the desert foothills and feature take-your-breath-away panoramic vistas -- among those of spectacular formations of boulders, stunning Sonora sunsets and indigenous terrain.

Horrible
I have played this course multiple times and it has been great in the past. This time it was absolutely horrible bunkers were like hitting off of concrete every green on every hole was in terrible condition and not to mention the staff was rude from start to finish. Wish I could write a better review because the views are great! I will never be playing here again wish I could get my money back!
Boulders North
Even though they are getting ready to over seed the course it was very good condition. Like most courses the bunkers needed work & golfers still don't think they leave ball marks. Always enjoy the challenge & sights at the Boulders. Staff was very friendly.
Thank you for taking the time to give your feedback. Glad you enjoy the round. See you again soon
Wild life
Course was fun. Some blind shots especially for a first time playing this course. Little upgrades are being done so couldn’t use putting green and very wet greens in the morning. A few sand traps had only mud in them. The wildlife was great! Coyotes, snakes, hawks, found a deer hoof on fairway and a dead bobcat by a green. If the greens were consistent speed I would give a 5 star..
Thank you for taking the time to give your feedback. Glad you enjoy the round. See you again soon
Shabby conditions
The traps were hard and had little sand. They looked like they were about to redo them (I would hope). The greens were encircled with crabgrass. The fairways were spotty.
The driving range was closed while they overseed South course. The problem was we weren’t told by GolfNow and the website for the boulders did not list that either. Unacceptable!
Thank you for taking the time to give your feedback. We would like to apologize for the course conditions not living up to your expectations. We are having challenges with Goose Grass that is caused by the amount of moister we have had this summer. We should have the courses back in tip top condition in a couple weeks. Looking forward to you giving The Boulders a second chance. Hope to see you soon.
Over rated
Course was in terrible shape. Dead patches in fairways and near greens, bad traps, grab grass surrounding greens. Clearly a course living off its past reputation.

Great Course
Great layout, fun course, not any severe undulation and elevation changes. Scenic, greens need a liitle help in spots after season-long play, good where not dried out & injured, good fairways & teeboxes.
Thank you for taking the time to give your feedback. We would like to apologize for the course conditions not living up to your expectations. We have begun the winter rye seeding process and all the summer time issue will be all gone. Looking forward to you giving The Boulders a second chance. Hope to see you soon.
Great layout
Tee boxes plush, fairways excellent. Greens not so good.

North Course
When I booked my tee time every review was favorable. The day before my scheduled golf day, the reviews warned about the greens and the surrounding fringes. Lots of small brown areas of dead grass were dotted throughout the greens. The fringes were full of weeds and just plain old dirt.
The staff was great and that’s what bumped their overall rating up. I will return and hopefully the course conditions will have improved.

WAY OVERPRICED FOR THE CONDITION
MOST OF THE GREENS WERE IN VERY POOR SHAPE. WOMEN'S TEES ARE AN AFTER THOUGHT. TRAPS WERE IN POOR CONDITION, AND EVEN THE FAIRWAYS NEEDED WORK. MY ROUND WAS FAR MORE EXPENSIVE THAN GRAYHAWK, FOR MUCH WORSE CONDITIONS. GETTING THE CART WAS CHAOTIC AND THE CADDIE TAKING THE CART AT THE END WAS SIMPLY RUDE.

Course condition
I was really surprised of the poor condition. There was way too many weeds around the greens to be acceptable. The greens were in poor shape.
The Grass was too long in the Tee boxes.
Once you placed your tee. You could hardly see your ball.
The practice putting green was in horrible shape.
I found the condition shocking.

Wont be back anytime soon-
I have golfed this course many times and this is the 1st time Im leaving being highly disappointed!
First the Good-
Friendly Staff checking In and at Bag Dropoff
Front 9 we cruised, 2hrs and 10 mins. Big thumbs up to that!
Now the Bad-
Back 9 they let out Members (Waited over 15mins to Tee off after Front 9) than waited anywhere from 5 to 8mins on every Tee Box
Course wasnt in the Best of Conditions
Fairways were good
Greens really bad and alot of dead spots on them, Fringe was Mud or Crab Grass and couldnt putt thru most of it
Bunkers next to No Sand, alot of Rocks and Grass in them
Stopped in for a Bagel at turn and Bartender had the Personality of a Stale Bran Muffin
And with all the Not Good above they still charged 119, Course shouldve been No more than 70 bucks at best
Hopefully they turn things around as this is Normally a really great Course
