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.

Underrated North Course a gem today

While The Boulders is better known for the South, the North is a rugged, beautiful test and was in great shape. The edges of the course are desert and leave little for finding errant shots. Beautiful vistas, forced carries over and through cacti and desert areas. Early on the back nine you.hit uphill on long holes with views of homes built into hillsides. A satisfying and challenging tract of land.

Disappointment

I had high hopes for this place. I couldn’t believe how crappy it was. Greens were concrete & poorly maintained (photo attached for example - many were like this). Most tee boxes were domed, chunked up, & hard as a rock. The South course doesn’t have access to the proshop at the then so we had to wait for the beverage cart which we only saw twice. The giant boulders were cool but not much better than you can see from the road.

Don't buy beverages!

Absolutely need to get the resort to do someone about beverage cart prices! 12.00 for ONE Coors Light is ridiculous! Poor beverage cart girl gets yelled at all the time for this. Seriously diminishes the greatness of the course!

Everything but the Drinks

Phenomenal day and was a spectacular course to play. Everything was great except the bev cart. Prices are outrageous. 2 miller lite 2 waters $42. I’ve played all over the country and this feels excessive. I’m even an Arizona resident and it’s still the resort cost. I’ve played both TPC here and this still feels out of line. Other than that it’s all phenomenal.
