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.

Great Course & Staff9
Top notch staff at checkin, got right out, everyone over the top friendly. Greens slightly bumpy due to recent aeration, but was advised up front. Found course extremely challenging from the blue tees at just over 6700 yards. I am an 11 handicap. Beautiful layout, everything as advertised. Lost a club at the course and had to fly home the same night. Contacted by course that my club was found and they would send it to my house at no extra cost even though I offered to pay for shipping. Not many courses give that kind of service. The Head Pro, Deane, was such a great ambassador to the course with service and answering questions. Lastly, had an excellent meal at the Grille afterwards. Overall, just a top notch course and staff. A must play, can't wait to come back!
The course layout is very good.
The only problem with course was the greens were bumpy due to being punched recently. Pace of play was slow.
Living a dream
Always wanted to play. Staff fantastic!!! Cart guys Ryan made a special effort for me! The started to, Would love to be a member! All facilities driving range, course, clubhouse, staff 10+, Thanks much!

Really good course
It is a challenging course, you have to plan a lot of shots, and you have to keep it in play, if it goes off course it’s gone.
Aerating
When I booked the Tee time, no one told me that the course would be aerated until I got an email from Golf Now. I called the course in the morning of my tee time and asked if the course was aerated and was told that the North course was aerated and not the south course. I get there and find the South course had been aerated which meant you could not putt on the greens and get a true run of the ball.
Top 5 in Az
Great views,layout,condition. Greens smooth and running at a 10.
Pace of play was good. 4 hours and 20 min. Gave time to look at the views.
A must play.
Worth the drive to Carefree Arizona
The course was in excellent condition and the views from every hole are scenic and awesome. For a desert course the preservation and variation of the cacti are special. For those of us who remember the Flintstones it feels like you’re playing in Bedrock which is a good thing.
Too frequent tee times
The course is always slow. I have played 4 times and same experience. Wait on every tee box...no rythm. Ranger says everything moving well. I disagree.
Beautiful spot and course
The Boulders is well-worth a visit. Beautiful surroundings, and a well-manicured course, with
carry off tees demanded. Pace of play (4:30) pretty good, and a good level of marshal attention to pace.
Hit'em Straight
Awesome course to play, but make sure your game in on. If it isn't, take extra golf balls because the desert will swallow them up. Course is in great shape. Always know where the valley is, as the greens will slope down to it. Windy day, but fun and challenging also.
The Boulders
First-rate challenging golf experience! Highly recommended for 12 handicap or better players.
Enjoyable Round
Always enjoy the layout of both The Boulders courses. Fairways were good. Greens were not up to their regular standards. Only reasonable when significantly discounted.
Boulders North
Boulders has a friendly staff including the starter, rangers, and beverage cart personnel. The driving range, short game area and practice green were near the first tee.
The yardage map was useful in determining club selection and layups. Be sure to get one at the starters shack as the carts do not have GPS.
Our foursome liked the layout with the somewhat wide fairways and challenging green complexes. I thought the greens were a little slower than I expected and there were some patchy areas.
There were ice and water stations throughout the course, The south 18 does not come back to the clubhouse after nine but the north course does after the front nine.The north course seemed to be more manageable as far as distance for women compared to some others. It nice to play the Boulders when staying in the Cave Creek/Carefree area since it is so convenient. I like both courses and will play here again.
Great course
Scenic course and the condition of the course from tee to green was perfect. A treat to play.
Thank you!
We had a wonderful day. We have been wanting to play at The Boulders for a long time. We weren’t dissapointed. Great course. Beautiful views and wonderful conditions. We will be back again!
Beautiful course a definite must play
Course wastop if the line. We loved it was a little cold and still enjoyed our round. A definite must play course especially if you get a hot deal like we did for $105. Highly recommend
