North Course
We played the South Course before and enjoyed the layout and scenery a lot better than North course. The putting greens was not as good as expected. Overall, it is a nice golf club.
Not worth the price
Lots of pitch marks on the green.
Couple quirky holes.
Worth playing the south course one time.
No need to play here multiple times.
Stayed at the resort, and booked on here.
Multiple people told me the south course is better so I didn’t bother to play the north.
Thank you for taking the time to give your feedback. We would like to apologize for the course conditions and staffing not living up to your expectations. Please contact the Head Golf professional Dean Ballard to further discuss. Looking forward to you giving The Boulders a second chance. Hope to see you again soon.
Always a good play
I read some of the previous reviews of the course that it was not in that great of shape. I have played this course in the past and it is definitely not as good as it used to be. I know they had some trouble in the summer with some sort of grass growing in apparently.
The Superintendent's job is maybe on the line the way he tore a strip off of me when I was parked on the wrong side of the cart directional signs well over 100 yards from the green. In my defense they were cart directional signs, not "no carts" signs. A friendly reminder would have been better than the way he interacted with me.
I do love this course and will be back in the future, the Superintendent might not be....

Boulders South
Cart path only, over seeding done, fairways lush, greens were slow!!
Thank you for taking the time to give your feedback. Glad you enjoy the round. See you again soon
Horrible
I have played this course multiple times and it has been great in the past. This time it was absolutely horrible bunkers were like hitting off of concrete every green on every hole was in terrible condition and not to mention the staff was rude from start to finish. Wish I could write a better review because the views are great! I will never be playing here again wish I could get my money back!

Obsoletely horrible
I’ve been playing golf at the boulders for over eight years. Conditions very have been going downhill the last few years. Yesterdays golf was the worst ever. In fact I haven’t played a course in that bad of condition out here in Scottsdale ever. There was grass growing in the bunkers there was absolutely burnt out greens on a number of greens. There is all kinds of crab grass growing around the green fringes. Stay away from the boulders.
Thank you for taking the time to give your feedback. We would like to apologize for the course conditions not living up to your expectations. We have begun the winter rye seeding process and all the summer time issue will be all gone. Looking forward to you giving The Boulders a second chance. Hope to see you soon.
Boulders North
Even though they are getting ready to over seed the course it was very good condition. Like most courses the bunkers needed work & golfers still don't think they leave ball marks. Always enjoy the challenge & sights at the Boulders. Staff was very friendly.
Thank you for taking the time to give your feedback. Glad you enjoy the round. See you again soon
Disappointing conditions all around.
Poor conditions from the tee boxes to the greens. I know it’s a tough world, but this should be an embarrassment to the owners. Large bare spots on every green. Bunkers are hard pan. Grass to high on the tee boxes makes the par 3’s play like you are hitting from the rough.

WAY OVERPRICED FOR THE CONDITION
MOST OF THE GREENS WERE IN VERY POOR SHAPE. WOMEN'S TEES ARE AN AFTER THOUGHT. TRAPS WERE IN POOR CONDITION, AND EVEN THE FAIRWAYS NEEDED WORK. MY ROUND WAS FAR MORE EXPENSIVE THAN GRAYHAWK, FOR MUCH WORSE CONDITIONS. GETTING THE CART WAS CHAOTIC AND THE CADDIE TAKING THE CART AT THE END WAS SIMPLY RUDE.
