The Boulders Resort & Spa Scottsdale

Breakfast burrito and sandwich was very bland. 18% gratuity is built into drink orders. Make sure you bring water and your glass on the start where the bottled water cost $10

The course is really phenomenal. The scenery is truly breathtaking. The layout is also great.

However, the greens are quite poor, especially at this price point and do not match the level of quality of the rest of the course. Greens are bumpy and weedy.

Really want to play the course again soon, but the poor greens quality gives me reservations.

The course is spectacular from a scenery and layout standpoint. Trully breathtaking. However, the South course greens conditions do not match the rest of the course. They are extremely bumpy, inconsistent and weedy. Not sure what grass this is, but extremely poor. Could not gauge speed but more importantly rolls were nowhere near pure. I would consider going back in a heartbeat to play again, but the greens would make me seriously consider choosing another option.

The most beautiful course I have ever played. Tough carries for a lady from the reds but really fun and worth it

The greens were very bumpy with large sand particles. The remaining course is beautiful as always.

I have played the course several times this season and the greens were the worst I have seen.

My husband and I have played Boulders N several times over the years and loved it. This was our first go at Boulders South. When we reached starter at #1 he told us there were 2 singles with us. One was there. Second man drove up late with a woman in the cart. There was one set of clubs. Everyone thought she was approved as a ride along. To our surprise she pulled a club out of his bag and proceeded to hit once starter moved. We other 3 were shocked! Neither she nor her partner hit in bounds. They began searching for balls. This repeated on second and 3rd shots. The “single man” commented to us that this couldn’t continue. It was illegal to play a 5 some, let alone out of a bag. And they weren’t decent players for this level of course play. We agreed. It would take 25 minutes on each hole! Our “3rd” golfer called the golf shop and explained situation and was told it would be taken care of; someone would come and resolve the situation. No one did! Finally our “single man” told them they would have to go back to get paired up with another single or twosome. No one came to help them. They joined a twosome that was coming along for awhile. Many holes later we saw one had left. And finally they the other golfer left as well. We saw the couple sporadically but noticed they “skipped” 18 - probably because they knew they had illegally played a 2 for 1 and out of one bag to boot! Disappointed such a prestigious course didn’t address this issue! We felt we shouldn’t have had to take action - whole situation was very distressing and left a bad experience when it should have never happened in the first place.

Beautiful course well maintained spectacular views must play!

It’s clear that the South course is not a priority now that the North is for members only. It’s too bad because the property is still beautiful and the layout is good. I’m not a fan of supposed premium courses spray painting dormant greens in the winter. Spend the money on good winter greens if you’re going to charge players $300. These were rock hard and couldn’t hold most approach shots.

I absolutely love this course but with the Canadian dollar demanding an additional 45% I need to be a little careful . I only played here because I go a decent deal from golf now. $207 before taxes for. 1230pm tee time. The course is normally $340!to 450!!! That is way too much IMHO. Round was approx 4 hours and 40 mins.. we had to wait on a few holes but we were never pushed from behind.. I will attach pictures which will attest to the beauty of this course. But I have three major complaints… #1 no water provide on cart, ice is but no water bottles! At that price … come on!!! Instead they charge you $9 for a bottle water on the course !!! The family I played with ordered two waters and one local beer and it came to $30!!!! That is gauging and very sad that the course feels this is the right move. Would I play again? Absolutely but I would only do so if I got the hot deal price and next time, I’m bringing my own water!

Beautiful Golf Course picture scenery pace of play is whatever you get there is no Ranger the day I played the people in front of us had absolutely no golf etiquette There were two empty holes in front of them and they didn’t try to pick up the pace at all. But we still did manage to finish in 4 1/2 hours
