Rating 73.3

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.

Thank you for taking the time to give your feedback. Glad you enjoy the round. Welcome back. Rosie's rock is the large boulder that sits atop of 7 south blue tee box. If you go up to that tee you would see the name etched in the side of the boulder Rosie with a big heart around it. Rosie was the wife's name of the developer of The Boulders Rusty Lyon. See you again soon

Played better than expected

The north course is somewhat intimidating from the tee. It looks narrow with desert in range on every shot. Turns out I only lost one ball when I was well short on a long forced carry. Overall, more playable than it appears at first glance. Very pleasant experience. Staff was very friendly. An exceptionally slow mixed foursome let us play through and we finished in about 3:45 - pretty good for any course and exceptional for a resort

Always a Pleasure to play !

Need a few more open spots on the range. Shouldn’t have to wait to hit balls and good portion of the range was available. No one met me to get my clubs out of my vehicle. I put them on a cart myself. Would have been nice to know the greens had recently been punched and sanded. I would have booked another time.

Thank you for taking the time to give your feedback. We would like to apologize for the green conditions not living up to your expectations. Our aerification schedule is North course is done May 10-16 and South course May 17-23. We do our best to make sure this is communicated when tee times are made either online or by calling the golf shop. Looking forward to you giving The Boulders a second chance once our green's heal up. Hope to see you soon.

This course ROCKS!

Perfectly manicured as well as managed. Never had to wait on any tee and only held up the foursome behind once when all three of us went OB. Let them (twosome) play through and then righted the ship and we were off.

Service was phenomenal. Drink cart stocked well. Side note; $7 for beer and $7 for bottled water. Ridiculous. Then got to the bathroom and it had an ice and water machine for free! That was the only thing that was unfortunate. Overall phenomenal. 6 stars out of 5!

Aerated Greens

Course was decent tee to green but the greens had been recently aerated and poorly sanded. Impossible to putt and enjoy a round.

Do not go until at least June 1st

Thank you for taking the time to give your feedback. We would like to apologize for the course conditions not living up to your expectations. There is a short time period when valley golf courses transition from winter Rye grass back to the summer Bermuda grass and our rates reflect this transition period. Looking forward to you giving The Boulders a second chance. Hope to see you soon.
