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.

Nice layout but pace was an issue.

Our tee time was 12:40 and we finished at 5:25. 4:45 can’t be the normal pace.

Greens condition were not as nice as I was expecting for an upscale course.

North Course

We played the South Course before and enjoyed the layout and scenery a lot better than North course. The putting greens was not as good as expected. Overall, it is a nice golf club.

Not worth the price

Lots of pitch marks on the green.

Couple quirky holes.

Worth playing the south course one time.

No need to play here multiple times.

Stayed at the resort, and booked on here.

Multiple people told me the south course is better so I didn’t bother to play the north.

Always a good play

I read some of the previous reviews of the course that it was not in that great of shape. I have played this course in the past and it is definitely not as good as it used to be. I know they had some trouble in the summer with some sort of grass growing in apparently.

The Superintendent's job is maybe on the line the way he tore a strip off of me when I was parked on the wrong side of the cart directional signs well over 100 yards from the green. In my defense they were cart directional signs, not "no carts" signs. A friendly reminder would have been better than the way he interacted with me.

I do love this course and will be back in the future, the Superintendent might not be....

Horrible

I have played this course multiple times and it has been great in the past. This time it was absolutely horrible bunkers were like hitting off of concrete every green on every hole was in terrible condition and not to mention the staff was rude from start to finish. Wish I could write a better review because the views are great! I will never be playing here again wish I could get my money back!

Obsoletely horrible

I’ve been playing golf at the boulders for over eight years. Conditions very have been going downhill the last few years. Yesterdays golf was the worst ever. In fact I haven’t played a course in that bad of condition out here in Scottsdale ever. There was grass growing in the bunkers there was absolutely burnt out greens on a number of greens. There is all kinds of crab grass growing around the green fringes. Stay away from the boulders.

Boulders North

Even though they are getting ready to over seed the course it was very good condition. Like most courses the bunkers needed work & golfers still don't think they leave ball marks. Always enjoy the challenge & sights at the Boulders. Staff was very friendly.

Disappointing conditions all around.

Poor conditions from the tee boxes to the greens. I know it’s a tough world, but this should be an embarrassment to the owners. Large bare spots on every green. Bunkers are hard pan. Grass to high on the tee boxes makes the par 3’s play like you are hitting from the rough.
