Great course - horrible pace of play and one bad apple on the staff

Love this course but so disappointed by pace of play - and I teed off at 840 am. And the starter on Hole 1 South Course should be fired. Horrible attitude, surly. What a way to start. All this for $250. What a waste of money!

Disjointed layout

We felt like we spent a lot of time driving between holes. Several holes have blind waste areas that are not obvious from the tee, requiring a layup but there is no notice about this. The GPS does not have a flyover or any warning about these holes. Need to have played the course before to know. Disappointing for the money.

Pretty course, meandering layout

Several holes require course knowledge to be able to play. Blind shots and waste areas that are not readily apparent from the tee. The GPS has no flyover or any comments as to how to play the hole. For the money, I was a bit disappointed with GPS and on course information.

Not so sunny in Arizona

What started as a decent day for golf turned into a wet and cold day. The course at the Boulders South course was what you would expect from a high end facility. Just beautiful. I felt my handicap go down by 5 strokes. Then the rain. Still finished 18 and had a great time with friends. Pace of play was perfect. Recommend the course to everyone.

Great Course

We played most of the top courses in the Phoenix area & this was our favorite. It is very expensive and tough, but the conditions are great & the course is beautiful.
