Reviews
The Boulders South - Great Course
This was my 2nd time playing the South Course. I was not disappointed. Granted, a hot August day (around 105). IMO, the course was in excellent shape for late summer in Scottsdale. Friendly staff. Not very crowded. The layout is challenging, but fair, and the views are amazing! I will be back.
GolfNow fee
GolfNow charged me $42 to book this tee time. Will never go through them again. Going to call the course and make my times.
No complaints about the course itself, it’s always very well maintained and very scenic
Lack of available water was crazy to us. Who doesn’t have water bottles for the carts? It’s Summer in AZ and you have limited opportunities to hydrate? Honestly we were shocked and it’s just crazy, especially at one of the higher end tracks here.
Requested water to be brought out as we had none, Marshall brought cold towels? Seriously? Nice touch but……
Great course, great shape but service was lacking from bag drop to restaurant,
Bev cart POS not working? Wrote cc info down and I’m still trying, days later to get my receipt for expense report.
Amazing layout and views
The course was a bucket list thing. It didn’t disappoint and the golf was simply awesome. The golf carts are tired and they need a major update to their GPS system. Very disappointing to see the lack of quality carts and GPS systems in those carts. The food at the the grill was a different experience. Just flat out terrible for such a high end course.
Meet the Flintstones
The South Course is one of the nicest courses in Arizona. In my top 3. Playing on a mild August day was a good value until we bought beers which were $13 each for regular size cans. The cart lady wasn’t too nice about our reaction either- like we get it lady, you don’t set the prices but $26 for two beers plus tip is nuts-o and our reactions were justified. She was old and mean. The greens were running slow, maybe an 8 but everything was in fantastic shape. Cart dudes did not help us unload our clubs at bag drop but just watched us lol. We are middle-age successful guys, dressed as we should be rolling up in a nice car. Nothing that could justify the absence of service. Anyway, came for the course and it was great.
One of the Best
This has been a favorite course of mine for decades. The views are so stunning it's hard to focus on golf! The course was in amazing shape and the food at Bogeys was excellent. The staff is polite and helpful.
Not worth the price
Played this course for $100. Not at all worth it. The greens were shaggy and impossible to read because of that. Fairways were fine but not great. Played Camelback the next day for $40 less and it was in way better shape.
Good track but currently in very poor condition
Good scenic course but the current conditions are brutal. The greens were twice the length they should be and bumpy. Effectively unputtable. The fairways weren’t much better. Most fairways had large areas with no grass. Having said that, the bunkers were in good shape.
I may have caught it at a bad time but there was no alert about conditions on GolfNow or the course website.
Disappointing
The course conditions were very disappointing for an expensive resort. We played the south course. The greens still had not recovered from aeration. They were incredibly bumpy and shaggy. The holes had clearly not been recut for quite awhile, The fairways were universally cut thin, but in some places were strangely soft. The aprons to most of the greens were wet. Aside from the elevation changes and the views, I have played Muni's in better condition.
Beautiful fairways
The South course was beautiful. The green was aerated and slow and bumpy ,
Course Needs Serious Haircut
Classic AZ track. Unfortunately, it is not being maintained with the view from a lot of the tee boxes being blocked by desert brush.
Staff is amazing. Course architecture tremendous, the playing surface was solid but again the brush blocking the view from the tee boxes is overwhelming!
Unbelievable Course!!!
This was my first time playing here and I can't wait to come back. By far one of my favorite courses I've played in Arizona! Staff was great, pace of play was perfect, and course was even better. Range was all complimentary and plenty of ice water stations throughout the course. As a first-timer, some of the hole layouts could be tricky, but definitely avoidable the second time around. Couldn't recommend this course enough!!
