Good but there were little things
Overall I was happy playing the Boulders South course. It was a little challenging with the narrow fairways and some carries.
BUT, they recently punched the fairways and there were 2 holes with temporary tee boxes. I was hoping for a premium golf round but it was a good and not great.
I'd play here again after things are fixed up.
Boulder Golf Club
Overall had a good experience. Pace of play was awesome. Lay out of the course was pretty cool. Staff extremely helpful and kind. Conditions of the course weren’t the best. A lot of dead grass and could use some serious water but other than that we had a great time and would play again.
slow grainy greens
great course layout and staff is very good....practice green was about 11 on the meter, but greens on south course were closer to 8 and very grainy ...very difficult to putt them
fairways could use some water because of numerous dormant dry areas, but had a good time and enjoyed the course
Booking a single and not pairing up with a 3 some
I had what I thought was a play conversation with Robert. I purchased a single teatime thinking that I was gonna be paired up with at least another person or at least a threesome in regard for pace to play however, that was not the case that’s not a problem however when I politely asked About going and being paired up with a person that was five holes in front of me, there was a single Robert was extremely rude and antagonistic towards me and I didn’t appreciate it. It was having a simple conversation with him and I had to remind him that it was exactly that just a simple conversation. Why can’t you just put me up with a single it’s five holes ahead. I don’t care just wanna play without having to wait behind back to back forces anyway well that said I won’t be back.
Great place to play in Scottsdale!
Wonderful course lady friendly. It’s expensive but worth it. Better than most courses in Scottsdale!
Great property, fun course
Great amenities, great layout and conditions. The greens are fast! A lot of roll out on any chip/pitch. The only negative was pace of play. Over 2.5 hours on back nine. Lots of waiting.
Best views around
Had the course to ourselves on a Friday afternoon (due to a 9 and dine starting soon after us) until the back to back par 3s. Then waited for rest of round but still finished in 4 1/2 hours. Cant get enough of the views on every hole. Prettiest course in North Scottsdale. Just bring lots of golf balls!
Love it!
The facilities are fantastic! Played the South course. Great layout, in very good condition, with spectacular views of rock formations all around. Large range with nice grass and plenty of balls. Separate chipping & putting greens. 1st time playing here. The greens are very firm, bent grass. Hard to adjust to, based on other courses I played recently in the Scottsdale area. Very challenging holes with some blind shots. I hope to play this again, as I'll be more prepared for shot selection and greens.
Huge Disappointment
I used to love this property but unfortunately it is in horrible shape. The greens are painted, not over seeded like most courses in the area.. I would be ok with the painted greens if the surface was smooth and in good shape. They were not. The starter was almost embarrassed to try to explain what happened with the greens. His explanation didn’t make sense. Ok, so they totally lost the greens and had to paint them. You would expect the rates to be in line with the course quality. Nope!! $476 per person including taxes. I would not have paid $100 to play this course had I known the condition. If I could give zeros, I would have. Play another course. Period!
Beautiful course
Great course. Very difficult with tight faiways and same greens.. Greens are fast and the views are awesome. The greens were not in the best conditions as they had mixed grasses growing on them which caused the ball to play plinkco due to them being so fast. The ball would get knocked offline when it would hit a patch of the different grass. Would not pay full price because of this. Once they fix that, I would recommend for sure.
Boulders South Challenging
This is a very unique and difficult course to play. While I didn't lose any balls, the fellows I played with lost many. You must be pretty target accurate. I actually got lost as to where I was on the course as it weaves and wanders around the boulders. So beautiful and interesting but not easy to score well. The one thing that was really disappointing was the condition of the greens. Apparently they didn't treat the cauliflower type grass early enough and so the putting became very frustrating and tough to stay on your line. I am sure over the next few weeks it will get better but yesterday wasn't fun to putt.
played the south because that is the only option - some genius in management decided there would be no more alternative course offerings and people are not happy.
