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!

I’m glad I had the opportunity to play this course. I will definitely go back when I’m in the area again. Course conditions were outstanding. All the holes are set in beautiful locations. Homes surrounded most of the course but were low profile and set back so I hardly noticed them.

a few holes had a little trick built in...blind shots, landing areas.

but I am sure that played again....those would not be a problem. greens were in great shape and rolled very true!

And some GREAT views all over the course!!!!

Beautiful scenery

Great course, it was fun to see the wildlife on the course. We saw a javalina family, lots of bunnies, a buzzard. The course was in ok condition. Not as plush as would be expected for the area, but it is close to overseeding time in Az so they were probably preparing for that. The flow of this course was good, a few challenges that kept it interesting. Would be nice to be able to choice which course to play instead of them picking for you. Overall great place, would definitely play again.

Incredible Views

Played the North back and the South front, both had incredible views and picturesque moments. The layout was really enjoyable, but not for the average golfer as fairways are tight. We were paired with two beginner golfers (great people) but they must have lost a few dozen balls each. I played from the blues which I soon found out were essentially the blacks as they shared the tee box on almost every hole. You definitely want to make sure your drive is dialed in or you will lose a lot of balls. Some really cool elevated tee boxes that had some beautiful drop shots. What really impressed me were the greens, they were extremely fast and rolled very smooth. Overall this was a great course and a fun day.

Better be good off the tee

This course is awesome but you better have a lot of confidence off the tee. This is not for slicers or someone that is not accurate off the tee. Green were challenging but true. You need to play target golf and can’t just hit driver on every hole. Absolutely love this course and the layout. Great for low handicappers.

Beautiful Day at The Boulders

From tee to green, on every hole, The Boulders provided an outstanding layout and conditions to make for an exceptionally-pleasant golf experience. Milder temperatures ... with no one else on the course ... only added to the joy of day’s round.

A favorite of mine

I have loved playing the boulders for a long time. Unfortunately it’s way too pricey for me in the winter months, so i only play here in the summer. It’s always in good condition and pleasurable.

Not impressed

We played a split course , teeing off on the back 9 of the north course and finishing on the front nine of the south course . The back 9 of the north course is in rough condition, they are having a watering problem as there was make shift watering devices on nearly every hole , making play somewhat distracting. The front nine of the south course was much better , however they obviously are having issues with fairway grass and weeds . Overall I would give the experience a solid C .
