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.

Practice round for Lookout Mtn

I was looking for a course with beautiful views and desert layouts to prepare for a Tournament at Lookout Mtn this week. A lot of good challenges and trying to keep my ball in play.

Boulders

Great course, great staff, and was able to play at a much lower rate than prime time. Course was immaculate from tee to green. If you hit it off the course, watch out for the jumping cholla!

Regular golfer

Course is not in great shape. Green are hard but fuzzy with sand repair on many greens. Badly need a ranger for keeping up pace of play. Great setting but needs a lot of work to compete with other courses for the price you pay.

Beautiful but Slow

On arrival staff were friendly and helpful. Driving range is only 220 yds so limits clubs that can be used. Really enjoyed the layout of the course with some beautiful holes. It was over 5 hours for the round though and for the price it's hard to recommend it for the dedicated golfer that doesn't like to wait too long between shots.

Glad i played it once and enjoyed the staff and restaurant.

Waste of money

The South course is stupid target golf.. If you enjoy shooting at small circles in the grass, go to Top Golf- and the drinks are cheaper. The poor design that requires pinpoint accuracy leads to unbearably SLOW play with a course full of average golfers.. We’ve played Snow Bird golf in Scottsdale for 3 years and this is the only course I would never play again, even for free!! Waste of Money
