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.

Beautiful course with excellent conditions and service.

Foursome ahead of us was painfully slow and should have been moved along by the ranger.

Nice course

Course was in great condition. Greens were slow. Almost seemed like they were sanded.

Pace was excruciatingly slow. I think it was just the group in front of us.

Great layout. Course in great shape. Had a few spots on a few greens . Loved playing here. Desert golf at its best. Don’t know if I can get used to $250 greens fees! Must play at least once

Beautiful Golf Setting

Layout is challenging but fair. Course was in great shape with the exception of a few greens which needed some work.

Pace of play was good until back 9.

Never saw a ranger and the round took 4 hours and 45 minutes. Just finished before dark!

However we will play here again without question.

Boulders North Course playing great

Played the North course last week and had a great round with my son. Played in 3 hours 40 minutes at 3:10pm so the pace was fine. The course is in excellent conditions.

Great course, pace of play was adequate. Some greens had a little damage. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable! Was disappointed spending over $250 to play here that they didn’t even give you a couple bottles of water. Troon golf courses are premier but they are getting out of my budget! Overall course was great . Sorry for the 4 star, but fix the greens and I’ll ad another star.

Expected more for the price

We were disappointed in the Boulders, greens were not in great shape, some were painted, for the price we paid to play this course we were expecting it to be in great condition. Pace of play was slow and group behind us kept hitting into us. They charge a 10% surcharge for water on top of the green fee.

No shortage of great views!

I couldn't have had a better day to play at the Boulders. The weather was perfect and the views were incredible. Enjoyed the day. One highlight was a rather large cat crossing the fairway behind us. Based on this cat sighting, I decided not to look for any lost balls!
