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.

Pace Too Fast

Pace of play was too fast for fair players. Foursome had 3 players hitting in the 90's were considered falling behind on a cart path only challenging course.

Bring your wallet!

Course was in great shape and pace of play was good. Bring your wallet however as on-course prices from the beverage cart are off the chart!!! $9 for a bottle of water (NOT a typo!), $13 for a Corona beer.!

Not going back - I can get overcharged at places much close to my home!

A MUST play when in the PHX area

Out of all, the clubs I played in1 week bouncing around the GolfNow PHX area options, this was by far the best. Loved the layout, scenery, greens in great shape and just a very fun and pretty course that could challenge you but not kill you. The staff is helpful, bar is fun and well worth the effort to go up here and play a round

Cart return guy was a d i c k.

We were aware that 2 holes were closed of the track we were playing.

When we checked in we were told to go and play holes 1 & 2 again in order to get our 18... we were then told "go ahead and keep going and pick as many as you want".

When we returned we were berated by a different cart.

"how the h e l l is it you guys are in last?" was the greeting.

He then literally threw our clubs up against the stand... and squealed away in the cart.

It took all my restraint to not lose my mind on the guys in the pro-shop...

So, in conclusion, a great afternoon was tarnished by buddy's hissy fit after we did precisely as we were told!

Disappointed with holes closed

I have played here around 6 times this summer, this the only disappointment. They are letting the course and green conditions go before overseed, and they closed holes 16 and 18, so we only played 16 holes. Golfnow sign up did not warn about closed holes or I may not have registered to play. Pro shop claimed GolfNow should have shown the closed hole situation - but didn’t.

Boulders AZ Golf Course

Excellent course. Every hole is photo for a post card. Tee boxes excellent condition as well fairways and green.

Cart person with drinks made it around several times especially during warmer weather.

I’d recommend anyone traveling to AZ Phoenix area to put this course on their agenda.

I like the course although they were going through renovations, it was still a pleasure to play, but $14.00 for a 16 oz. Coors Light????, without the tip.

Nice course but not for the price

I played Boulders in January at a price of $360. I walked away having a great experience but thinking "I'd never pay that again for this course." Then this month I played again for $79.

Two of the holes were closed which they didn't tell you until after you booked and it was below in the fine print. People generally don't read the full confirmation emails but I guess that could be my fault. There were also 3 or 4 holes where there was no sand in the bunker - just concrete. It was obvious they were redoing the bunkers.

Arguably my biggest issues were the greens. They were BEAT UP. I mean 3 of them they had new sod laid and it was the pace of the fairway. Just really unimpressed overall.

I'm in love with the big boulder scenery in Carefree but probably won't play there again.

2nd time playing at the Boulders, and we were very lucky to have weather in the 90’s instead of in the 110’s. Course was amazing except holes 10 and 11 were closed for Bunker maintenance, so we’re unable to get a full round in. Other than that, the facilities were amazing and the course in great shape. Highly recommend a stay and play at the Boulders.

Boulders golf course experience.

In my eyes probably one of the best courses to play in the valley.

Absolutely photo taking course in each hole. Tee boxes in excellent condition as well the fairways. The. Inkers we very playable and with the GPS in carts it made the round easier to manage.

I travel to valley regularly and always try and get a round in.
