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 desert golf experience!

If you're looking for desert golf, there is no better place than The Boulders. Excellent service, condition and playability. I've played here numerous times over a thirty year period and it never disappoints.

Great golf course, facilities and staff

We played the north course. It was coming out of over seeding recently and was in very good condition.

The fairways were great, having just been mowed to normal length. The greens rolled true and at a decent pace.

Overall, this is a fantastic golf facility and I/we recommend this course highly. Will play here again.

Beautiful Course

Had a very nice round, but be aware that at the end of October, most courses in the area are overseeded, and cart path only! Also, for $150. they could offer you a bottle of water gratis! It is Arizona after all!

Doesn't get much better , desert classic

From the moment you hand your bag over till the moment you pack it up you are in for first class customer service and first class golf course.

This isn't a bomb it off every tee course , especially the front 9 , took us a few holes to get used to the layout and tee shots but when we did this was nothing but fun. Hey didn't even mind losing a few balls when we got to take in the scenery.

Pace of play was a good considering it is still cart path only , 4:20 for a threesome and 2 players had never played here , there was no one behind us either so we were taking our time and enjoying , we could have finished quicker..

If you get the chance please play this course , you won't be disappointed

Great Experience

Asome layout. Beautifull scenery and houses around the course. Houses resemble the Flinstones. In some holes the landing areas are narrow. Good greens and good speed. Must play when in Scottsdale.

Great Layout and Scenery

Despite only being open 4 days since the overseed, the North Course was in great shape . Greens were slow compared to normal but very smooth.

Beautiful views of surrounding Boulders and mountains are coupled with a very good course design with well bunkered but fair holes . Staff was very friendly and appeared to genuinely appreciate our visit as there are a lot of courses to choose from

Over- Seeding Cash Grab!

We came to Scottsdale AZ for our yearly golf trip.We have never played Boulders before as it is always really expensive.We made a decision to pay the $150 USD as we thought we save the best for last.The fairways were uncut for many weeks,the ball plugged on the fairway!!.All carry no roll.Greens really soft and wet.As you walk you leave shoe imprints all over the green.No taking the carts on the fairway!,really?? for $150.If your going to over-seed,just shut down or warn people before they book.We were so excited to play there and left so disappointed.

A Course With a View

Played the south course. Very nice layout and well maintained! I'm a 12 handicap and the course was challenging from the white tees but very fair and playable. At times it was difficult to concentrate on golf for the awesome panoramic views of the "Boulders"! Pace was good and the staff very accommodating! Can be a bit pricey if you don't get a special rate but definitely a course you should play at least once !

Breathtaking... I'm still in Awww with the view

I got a hot deal on golf now for this course. I paid $25 which normally I heard the rate is about $160 and up for a round in the fall. The course was breath taking and we got played both course. We started out with the back nine of north course and front nine of south course... I definitely recommend this course to everyone- it's a must try if you get the chance. It's have some very challenging holes... The pace of play was a tad annoying for me.. I have to wait like 10-15 mins on each holes.. I guess everyone is taking their time soaking in the views... Because I paid such a cheap deal and my tee time was 10:10... For some reason, all the course landscaper was mowing the fairway at every hole I was teeing off or playing. Got annoying how distracted they are and they didn't even move to get out of your ball flight way.. My game was not good that day because of the waiting and distraction of landscaper.. But overall it was a great experiences to play such a prestige course.. I guess I can't complaint..

Rude members

Great course unless you are unlucky and get behind the group of 5 senior lady members. Two of us ended up skipping a hole to pass them. And we're told by staff that they never let people play through. Won't be going back to a great course, I thought that golf etiquette applied to everyone!
