North at Boulders Golf Club & Resort

Recently reopened after a period of renovation, the South Course has reemerged as one of Arizona’s premier golf experiences — and perhaps the best I’ve played yet in the state. From the first tee to the final putt, it’s clear that every detail of the restoration was executed with precision and respect for the game.

The course conditions are nothing short of pristine. Fairways roll true, greens are pure and consistent, and the bunkering strikes that perfect balance between beauty and strategic bite. It’s a layout that rewards thoughtful play and punishes carelessness — exactly as a championship-caliber course should. You’ll pay a price for poor shots, but it always feels fair and well-earned.

Service, too, matches the on-course excellence. Staff are attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming — a hallmark of top-tier golf operations. The clubhouse, while comfortable and upscale, feels a touch dark and somewhat awkward in its layout. It’s a minor quibble in an otherwise first-rate experience.

At a premium price point, the South Course delivers exceptional value. What you’re paying for is more than 18 holes — it’s a complete, elevated golf experience that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with Arizona’s elite destinations.

Final verdict: The South Course is back and better than ever. For serious golfers seeking a perfectly conditioned, fair, and memorable round, this is a must-play.

Summary:

Condition: Impeccable — best in Arizona right now

Design: Demanding but fair; smart shot-making rewarded

Service: Outstanding, attentive staff

Clubhouse: Functional but could benefit from lighter design and improved flow

Value: High-end pricing, but worth every dollar

⭐ Rating: 9.5 / 10 — A near-perfect Arizona golf experience

Slow play in the heat is never good

If you’re not a 4sum forget about playing through

Lots of never ready players with self centered mentality here

Great conditions with scenic layout

Watch out for the few short landing areas don’t press these tee shots club down

Good luck

Coarse excellent Shape . Cart path only which makes it harder to play but understandable with the amount of Rain in the past days.

Not the hardest course or best conditioned course but ,bar none, the most scenic I’ve ever played…

Suggestion for management: for the price, a yardage booklet should be included (and not $10) as the GPS is not ‘touch screen’ and there are a number of ‘target golf’ holes…

Everything was great pro shop, cart guys, ,starter cart girl ,

I always try to play here when in town.

one of the berst in Arizona

Enjoyed playing this track. It was in great shape. Greens where larger than what your eye sees. I did not care for the long distance between holes but expected in this type of resort courses. I bought two 12oz beers from the beverage cart, 24.00 dollars plus a tip. 12.00 a beer! I would reccomend BYOB.

Course was in great condition. Definitely on the more challenging side. Tricky fairways and big punishment for missing them. Bring lots of water. There is very little water stations and none provided in cart.

Played in the middle of summer. Fairways were a bit crusty. Greens were in good shape. Played behind a foursome and were waiting on every shot. Ranger came up to us on the tenth tee and put us ahead of this group. Played the back nine very quickly. Staff at the Boulders were very friendly and helpful. Driving range was in good shape.

The course was beautiful, fairways in great shape, greens were very good to putt on. I would play it again.

This course is beautiful. It’s a shame that they feel they need to price gouge on alcohol. I left feeling like I watched a diamondbacks game. Great experience aside from the price gouging around alcohol.

Love the layout, staff and even in summer good conditions. To be a 10 out of 10 they need to add some water coolers. Having only 1 water spot per 9 in summer is pretty poor in my opinion.

Greens were in good shape but the fairways were rough and dry. Had several temporary tee boxes, but hey it’s that time of year. Overall a nice track

would help to have a marshal on the course

moving the groups along.

we had to stop our round at 13 holes because the group in front of us was so slow in a very hot day.

after passing them we noticed there wasn’t another group in front for three holes.

I expected the Hot day with a 11:50 am tee time in Arizona, but the pace was ridiculously slow. It took 4.30 minutes to finish 18. Need a Marshall or someone driving around every once in a while to move groups along. It is a beautiful course and the views are outstanding. Be ready for some target golf in the desert.

I've played the Boulders before and always considered it a fine course. Sadly this last time was really bad. No notice was given to golfers that two thirds of all of the tee boxes were under construction and temporary tee boxes were set up, some almost 100 yards forward on holes. The course should be shut down for something this extensive or at least let golfers know prior to paying and driving all the way there. I was unable to use my driver more than a couple of times. I would appreciate a free follow up round if anyone from Boulders management reads these reviews.

This course is in wonderful condition except for the tee boxes. The fact that all of the tee boxes, except for par 3 holes, were under construction and unavailable. Other than that, the course is unique and beautiful. I will play it again.
