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.

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

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.

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.
