Best golf experience of my life

Absolutely beautiful course. Highly manicured and cared for with awesome scenery. Course conditions were perfect- tee to green. The great course coupled with the views and rock formations made this the best experience! Great value too.

One of my favorites

I can honestly say I truly enjoy playing the Boulders. Greens were firm and fast. Absolutely perfect! Course in general was in excellent shape. My only issue was pace of play. While we finished in just over 4 hours we were backed up two groups on every tee on the back nine. I understood it’s a hard course and you have the usual hacks spraying it everywhere. But you expect better. Overall still a great golf experience. Definitely recommend this course.

Perfect combination

This is a challenging course requiring accuracy particularly the first few holes. However the beauty of the surroundings make it a must play course in the Scottsdale area.

Beautiful

This is definitely on the list of "must play courses" in the valley. Some of the best greens I've putted on in a while. Beauty all around and a nice layout (several strong dog legs). It's pricier but worth it.

Fantastic views!

First time playing this course! Fun desert style course with beautiful views of the mountains. Greens, tees, and fairways were in great shape. If you don’t hit it straight, make sure you bring a couple extra balls.
