Sweet!

Everyone that works there was super nice. The course layout is amazing. The views are unreal! After 2 holes I knew I was coming back. The fringes right now are messed up not sure why but that’s the only issue with the course. I’m going back tomorrow!

Beautiful views, difficult layout

The boulders course was amazing! Had the opportunity to the play the south course and it was absolutely awesome! Loved some of the elevated tee shots with the boulders right next to you. I am a 10 handicap and ended up with an 86 for my first round at the boulders, the course proposed a challenging layout which I enjoyed very much. I will definitely be back soon to play again. My only wish would be lowering the rates even more during the summer time

Great Course

Played Troon North yesterday and The Boulders today. Greens were not as fast as Troons but just as smooth and soft. Course was in really good shape. I actually think The Boulders layout is as good as Troon North with several holes that are just incredible. Really impressed with this layout. Fun course to play and also pretty challenging. Would highly recommend The Boulders for sure!

Luckily it was a Deal Time for $63

I realize it is July and a heat advisory, however, still was not impressed with the conditions—fairways were below average for July. Do NOT pay full price to play here.

Slow

It played reeeaally slow! And they did not do anything about it. WAITING 10 minutes or more on each T box really is not acceptable...espcially at a course like this and for the price. LOTS of similar choices for less money and better pace of play. The course looked really good but the pace of play made it impossible to appreciate any of the good parts.

Thank you for taking the time to give your feedback. We would like to apologize for the pace of play yesterday. Every once in awhile the pace gets away from us, but not to often. Looking forward to you giving The Boulders a second chance. Hope to see you soon.
