North at Boulders Golf Club & Resort
About
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.

Boulders
Haven’t been here in a couple of year and the course is still wonderful and an absolute treat to play
Good course
The north course was in excellent shape. Scenery was great and was able to play the round in a little over 4 hours. Was a great deal with a hot deals tee time. Some holes had ground crew on them but they never came into play and always moved to the side.
Best course in the area
The Boulders South course is simply a joy to play. Breathtaking views, elevated tees, superb conditions, plenty of tee box options, wide fairways (on most holes), fast but fair greens, in-cart GPS, you'll enjoy every hole and wish that game didn't have to end.
Some extremely minor gripes: the tighter, harder holes are at the beginning, so make sure you warm up before you start, and pace of play can be a little slow. Don't let that stop you though, the Boulders is an absolute must-play.
Note: if you're going to take pictures, take them early, as most of the best-looking holes are on the front 9. Not that the back 9 is bad, but it's not quite as impressive as the front.
The course is in great shape.
Too bad this is the last day of cart path only. ThT was tough. Otherwise excellent round of golf.
Great course
Great course - good pace of play!
$13 wraps and $7 beer way too expensive o. The golf course
Very disappointed
Have played these courses over 20 times and today was the slowest. No Marshall to speed play until I phoned on the 12th hole to complain. They said they would send one out immediately.. No response for 3 holes until I phoned again. Finally one came out 45 minutes after the first call and said we were only 5 minutes behind pace at 4:30 for the round. We paid $200 per person for cart path only and finally got in at 4:45. No apology. We won’t be back and will be telling our story to friends.
October
Great value, $70. Can’t beat it. Greens a little slow and dodgy. Everything else, perfect condition.
Exceptional Views
My wife and I were paired with two gentlemen from Seattle and thoroughly enjoyed our time at The Boulders. Although it rained on and off, the course still played well and our round maintained a reasonable pace. It was cart path only due to rains earlier in the week but it certainly didn't hurt the experience. Staff was very friendly and the course was a great experience.
Very good resort course
Cart path only but course was in surprisingly good shape considering recent overseed and heavy rains. Should be amazing by November 1st. Staff were very personable and helpful. Definite recommendation.
best desert experience
The Boulders separates itself from the crowd of desert golf venues first by the sheer magic of its surroundings. Mature desert vegetation, birds and animals of all kinds, and of course the understated grandeur of the eponymous "boulders" themselves add up to a desert outing that is worth a trip from anywhere. Add to this a top notch golf course in perfect condition, challenging to the expert yet fair to the average player, winding its way through the magical landscape like an emerald sea and you have the Boulders, a golf experience like no other!
Expense way out of line for poor conditions
16 of us drove from the the west valley to to play a “premium” course during our annual golf week. We we’re greeted by a closed driving range which wasn’t explained to me when when i set up the times several weeks ago. Chad was very dismissive of my questions about policy notifying customers about such inconveniences.
Our $139 greens fees gave us play on many bare spots in fairways and muddy areas as well. The greens were soft and furry enough to show footprints throughout. In the second cut around many greens, there were large tufts of foreign grass which interferred with chip shots.
The outdoor temps were around 105 and the water stations were extremely hard to find. One of our players had to be taken off the course because of dehydration which was exacerbated by that inability to find the water on a regular basis. The player was treated well and felt much better at the end of the day but the problem could have been avoided with simple signage. Another signage issue was with tee markers. We often had to get off the carts to look for the markers to determine where to play.
Bottom line is that in years past, this course deserved the cost it now charges. With the current conditions, however, the fees should be fully $100 less. As group leader, I was embarrassed to have to make my guys pay what they did for this course. Fortunately, all the other courses around the Valley that we played we’re much better and much less expensive. We won’t be returning to The Boulders.
Top Notch Service and Excellent Course
So happy to have played here. There was a small self inflicted hiccup with my 4 someone and our reservation however Zack/ Zach was very accommodating. He took care of us in a very fair and professional way. All 4 of us will be returning. Thanks again to the staff!
Just OK
For the money, the course was not in great shape. Fairways not consistent with many thin areas. Play was slow and there was no marshal in sight. We had a reduced price through the net, but the normal rate to play this course was way to steep. Staff was pleasant but not overly friendly.
Soft, Soft Greens
Beautiful setting. The greens were the softest I've ever played in Arizona. Guaranteed ball mark for any well struck iron shot. Rolled true and fast. The staff were all relaxed and friendly
Nice but could be better
Course was great, in fantastic shape! The only thing that could be improved upon is the beverage cart was never around, we played the South course and never saw her, finally on the 8th hole we called to have her come to us and she did 20 mins later. We asked if we would see her again and she said Yes, We Never did!!! 102 degrees out lots of golfers on the course and no beverage cart. We were not very impressed.
Beautiful course
South course scenery was beautiful. The greens were very niice but a little tricky if you did not hit the hole with some speed. The fairways were awful but you could find good grass by moving it a few club lengths. If you are not a purist then you want to play here because the layout and scenery is worth the trip.
Where to play in August in Scottsdale
Course was in excellent condition for August. Tee time was 10:40 and we were off a few minutes early. Just a wonderful experience.
Can’t wait to play it again
I’ve been wanting to play this course for many years. We finally got around to it as an anniversary celebration. The course is challenging. The course is in great shape, enduring sizzling hot Arizona summer weather. Greens are in excellent condition and not overly undulating. I’m ready to make my next tee time!
Agreed We had a similar experience I will never be back
