The Boulders Resort & Spa Scottsdale

Very nice course. Great layout well maintained but probably will never go back. Not sure what gives a golf course the right to charge $14 for a 16oz beer. That’s like going to a MLB game and they are 25oz. Didn’t even bother to stay there to have lunch afterwards as I feel like not worth my time. I don’t write reviews but this bothered me. Most courses are $5-$6 bucks for a beer ok fine but give me a break $14

Boulder was a great course. Very well groomed and so picturesque with boulders and mountain background. It is a very challenging course with deep bunkers and long carries of the white tees. some areas carries are over 220 yards. Greens were fast, true and consistent.

first time playing at Boulder but would rank as one of my favorites to play in Phoenix area to date.

Only drawback is the GPS system is weak and provides very little information. or else I'd give a 5 star rating. Using a more modern GPS would greatly help new and current golfers. This would be a game changer and needs an upgrade

The beverage cart pricing is choose your own adventure, the pace of play was like seeing a bunch of snails compete in the Olympics. The course was overall in good shape but def would have paid a little more for green fees not to get held up on every hole during the Arizona summers.

This course was beautiful, but the fairways were mowed too close to the dirt in many areas compared to the fairways at the Wildfire Golf Club- Palmer Course we played the day before $56.00 that had excellent fairways not mowed to the dirt. We did many pictures of many holes that had huge boulders which was more picturesque than Wildfire's Palmer course. Many holes required placement shots and were playing longer than I liked for White tees, so I had to move up to closer tees on the par 4's to reach the greens in regulations. The greens were hard to read appearing to have a sloop, but were straight and vs versa.

Love the South Course

Course conditions were ideal

Pace started slow but picked up quickly and was 3.5hr round.

My 4 big takeaways

A. No waters in cooler prior to round

B. Only saw cart girl twice and never shared how much final tab was going to be

C. Great Summer Price, Winter course is unaffordable

D. Tipped the guys and end of round, They put my bag up at Club dropoff and NEVER saw them again!

Highly recommend Course

But again rates in Winter are ridiculous

Overpriced for the end of June in Arizona. Was 105 degrees out and still paid $115. Course was not in as good of shape as I would have hoped. Greens were very sandy. We played Troon North the weekend before playing here and paid $85 and it was in MUCH better condition. GPS on the carts is a bit janky for this course being at a Hilton.

First time at the Boulders and look forward to playing again. I played the South course from the Blue tees. Course was a good mix of long drives to get to some of the par 4s and some 210-230 drives to get in the best position. Found the greens to be mixed (as expected in the desert) with some holding a shot and others letting it roll to the bag.

Tips: don't be on the short side of the greens since it is hard to get a short chip to hold.

- play with someone who has played out there before. Cart paths are intertwined like spaghetti between holes.

I have not been to the Boulders in a while and expectations were exceeded. Awesome everything. Can’t wait to get back again. Thanks.

Should be posted that the greens were just punched shouldn’t be a surprise when we get to the course

Not my type of course. I like courses with green from tee to green. Every hole required a hit over desert conditions. I had no problem with these conditions but not what I prefer.
