Rating 73.3

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.

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.
