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

Played the North course. Was a beautiful course in excellent condition. Two of the 18 holes were recently aerated but did not detract from the experience. This is definitely on my list of coursed to play again, especially at the lower summer rates.

Beautiful

What a beautiful, challenging course. I had wanted to play this course for years. It was well worth the wait. A little soggy in some places which produced a number of mud balls but well worth the drive. I plan to play it again soon.

Boulders north is a great golf course with plenty of challanging holes. Very scenic and full of wildlife.

Great day at Boulders

So there were really bad reviews for the Boulders and we were very skeptical about playing there. I never played the Boulders and really wanted to play so we did it. Great round! The staff in the restaurant and golf shop were over the top good. We played the North course and it was in very good shape. I think the prior reviews were for the South course? Anyway I'll be back for sure!

Sloooww play

5 stars for the course and staff. This is a great course and location. We always enjoy playing both North and South courses. Unfortunately, yesterday was painfully slow due to 2 foursomes ahead that wouldn’t speed up or let me play through. They were either locals or members and knew I was waiting on them since hole #2, never offered to let me through while they were hitting 2 balls on most holes. Great course, just poor etiquette.

South course greens are dead

I have taken groups of 30 - 40 to The Boulders numerous times over the past 20 years. This course was one of our group's favorites and I bragged to the new members of the trip how much they would enjoy the day. We were told the greens were scheduled to be punched and were offered a discounted rate when I made the reservations five weeks out. Upon arrival the cart attendants told me the greens were a disaster and unplayable as something happened during the punching process. We were not offered any additional discount or or even advised by the clubhouse of the situation. Arriving at the 1st green on the South Course we were shocked. All of the greens are unplayable and frankly the course should be shut down. Playing another course later in the week that manager told me The Boulder's greens had been killed by mistake and they would all need to be replaced. I advise skipping the course until they replace all the 18 dead greens on the South course !!

Course should be closed while greens top dressed

Greens were punched and top dressed. Still no grass coming through the sand and should not be in play until greens return to being playable.

Let people know you punch the greens

The course conditions were terrible. The fairways were air-raided the greens were punched and sanded. There were puddles in sand traps. All of which is necessary but they should inform you when booking or discount the round. The scenery is stunning and the course layout is good. Just disappointed in the conditions of the course while still paying full price.

Beautiful course with awesome views. Greens were in fair shape. Rolled well but looked bad. The rest of the course was perfect. Staff was friendly. Would definitely go back.
