Beautiful
What a beautiful, challenging course. I had wanted to play this course for years. It was well worth the wait. A little soggy in some places which produced a number of mud balls but well worth the drive. I plan to play it again soon.
Boulders is a must
Boulders north is a great golf course with plenty of challanging holes. Very scenic and full of wildlife.
Thank you for taking the time to give your feedback. Glad you enjoy the round. See you again soon
Great day at Boulders
So there were really bad reviews for the Boulders and we were very skeptical about playing there. I never played the Boulders and really wanted to play so we did it. Great round! The staff in the restaurant and golf shop were over the top good. We played the North course and it was in very good shape. I think the prior reviews were for the South course? Anyway I'll be back for sure!
Sloooww play
5 stars for the course and staff. This is a great course and location. We always enjoy playing both North and South courses. Unfortunately, yesterday was painfully slow due to 2 foursomes ahead that wouldn’t speed up or let me play through. They were either locals or members and knew I was waiting on them since hole #2, never offered to let me through while they were hitting 2 balls on most holes. Great course, just poor etiquette.
Thank you for taking the time to give your feedback. Sorry About the slow play. We pride ourselves on 4.5 hr rounds. Hope to see you again soon
South course greens are dead
I have taken groups of 30 - 40 to The Boulders numerous times over the past 20 years. This course was one of our group's favorites and I bragged to the new members of the trip how much they would enjoy the day. We were told the greens were scheduled to be punched and were offered a discounted rate when I made the reservations five weeks out. Upon arrival the cart attendants told me the greens were a disaster and unplayable as something happened during the punching process. We were not offered any additional discount or or even advised by the clubhouse of the situation. Arriving at the 1st green on the South Course we were shocked. All of the greens are unplayable and frankly the course should be shut down. Playing another course later in the week that manager told me The Boulder's greens had been killed by mistake and they would all need to be replaced. I advise skipping the course until they replace all the 18 dead greens on the South course !!
Good news we have a bunker / green renovation scheduled for this summer. Hope to see you back in November when we have both courses back open.
Thanks
Course should be closed while greens top dressed
Greens were punched and top dressed. Still no grass coming through the sand and should not be in play until greens return to being playable.
Good news we have a bunker / green renovation scheduled for this summer. Hope to see you back in November when we have both courses back open.
Thanks
Let people know you punch the greens
The course conditions were terrible. The fairways were air-raided the greens were punched and sanded. There were puddles in sand traps. All of which is necessary but they should inform you when booking or discount the round. The scenery is stunning and the course layout is good. Just disappointed in the conditions of the course while still paying full price.
Thank you for taking the time to give your feedback. We do our best to make sure everyone is informed of course condition. We have it posted in the confirmation email and sometimes it gets missed. Hope to see you again soon.
Dead Greens
Nice layout. Nice fairways. Terrible greens. Not a $200 course right now.
Golf Among Bolders
Beautiful course with awesome views. Greens were in fair shape. Rolled well but looked bad. The rest of the course was perfect. Staff was friendly. Would definitely go back.
Thank you for taking the time to give your feedback. Glad you enjoy the round. See you again soon
MaynardGolf
Great staff. Played the South Course. Great shape except for the greens…….a little stressed and dry but the ball rolled well.
We’ll be back to play the North Course.
Thank you for taking the time to give your feedback. Glad you enjoy the round. See you again soon
Beautiful but needs work
Great layout and views. The sand traps need a lot of work, a lot of grass in them and growing down from the rough into the traps.
Also, some of the greens don’t look very good for a course with a high price tag like this one.
Good news we have a bunker renovation scheduled for this summer. Hope to see you back soon.
Thanks
