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.

The Boulders

The price to play this course is fairly high so your expectations are higher. Fairways were in great condition, greens were not what you’d expect for the price. They were in disappointing condition. Pace of play was 4 1/2 hours. Waited to tee off on every hole which is common for Phoenix this time of year as all courses are busy. Will not play this course again as I didn’t feel my experience matched the value.

Thank you for taking the time to give your feedback. We would like to apologize for the greens not living up to your expectations. On a positive note its good to hear you played at our expected pace of play 4.5 hours. Looking forward to you giving The Boulders a second chance. Hope to see you soon.

Played the North and it was......

First time playing and I heard we should play the South course but we could only play the North. Course conditions were excellent. Greens were rolling 11.5. Overall a good day of golf but I felt the layout was fairly boring for the price we paid. I would play again but not for $200, better courses to play for that kind of money.

Surcharge surprise

All and all the course was in descent condition for winter . Greens were pretty quick . Played from tips and didn’t get destroyed .

What I didn’t like was the surprise $25.06 surcharge ! Didn’t see that anywhere on my reservation ?? Definitely cheaper courses you can play of equal quality ! Very scenic and great vistas for pictures

Enjoyed course very much, best of the 3 we played on our visit. Paired with a twosome with only one set of clubs. Impacted pace of play. Surprised they were allowed out with one set.

Well worth the cost

The course was in impeccable condition. The views were breathtaking and the rough was nicer than fairways back east. The course is much better shape than when we played last over the summer and I'd play here again in a heartbeat. Friendly staff made all the difference.

Both courses are in top shape, despite the over seeding. South is tougher than North. Staff could not have been more gracious and accommodating.

I love this place.

The course is only a couple weeks out of overseed but the beauty of this area makes up for everything. Fairways were soft and longer than normal but I don’t dare, this is heaven on earth for me.

Not worth 281.00!! 160..Yes

I have been fortunate to have been able to golf many amazing and expensive golf courses. I don't like paying a ton of money on green fees, but when on a golf trip with awesome friends and an amazing course, I'll allow it. I have never wrote a review based on how expensive a course is, but this time I need to. Paying 281.00 to play target golf is not my style. Our group played TPC Stadium and Quintero the 2 days prior and we payed for a reply at both. I would pay double for those other courses before I even think about coming back to The Boulders. Don't get me wrong. This course is great... but the price is NOT worth it at all. Save your money and play Quintero twice!!! Now that's a course that is worth it's price.
