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.

We played a few years back, and decided to stop in and play it again - and are glad we did. Course was in great shape, fairways to greens. Really enjoyed the variety of tee and approach shots, and will all greens in mountain areas, reading breaks is always a fun challenge. All the staff was pleasant. However, given the hot day, the beverage cart person could have come by a bit more frequently.

A mix of the North and South. Views are beatiful and the course was in great shape. Should have had a hole layout book as many of the holes with the elevation changes and doglegs present hidden challenges.

True target golf...

My son, 11 yrs old, and I played the South Course at the Boulders and had a wonderful time. The course was in perfect condition. The staff were super nice and quite helpful.

This is a true target golf course. If you are spraying the ball, then it is going to be a long day. The summer rates are fantastic ($58 for me and $28 for my son).

In conclusion, the conditions, friendly staff, practice facility, and favorable rates made for an excellent day.
