I believe this course sits on the nicest property in the entire Phoenix area. A resort course worth visiting. (As long as you can afford it!)

True target golf...

My son, 11 yrs old, and I played the South Course at the Boulders and had a wonderful time. The course was in perfect condition. The staff were super nice and quite helpful.

This is a true target golf course. If you are spraying the ball, then it is going to be a long day. The summer rates are fantastic ($58 for me and $28 for my son).

In conclusion, the conditions, friendly staff, practice facility, and favorable rates made for an excellent day.

Flags

12 of 18 flags were not correct, designating front, middle or back. Made it very hard to know what club to hit.

Summer Heat Discount on Great Course

You almost feel guilty getting to play such great golf courses for so little when the summer temps kick in here in the Valley, but, we do have to endure the heat; just a great way to do it. Despite the heat, the course conditions are great--fairways are lush and fully greened out, greens are first rate (they do need to aerate in the summer here, so there will be a week + of sanded greens). The course has several blind approaches so it does take some playing to get used to. If you trust your yardages, however, you can navigate the course successfully. I'll be playing this one again and again at these rates.
