This 1,200-acre resort and community features striking, millions-year-old boulder formations and two, 18-hole golf courses that encircle them.

We played a few years back, and decided to stop in and play it again - and are glad we did. Course was in great shape, fairways to greens. Really enjoyed the variety of tee and approach shots, and will all greens in mountain areas, reading breaks is always a fun challenge. All the staff was pleasant. However, given the hot day, the beverage cart person could have come by a bit more frequently.

A mix of the North and South. Views are beatiful and the course was in great shape. Should have had a hole layout book as many of the holes with the elevation changes and doglegs present hidden challenges.

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.
