Beautiful views and great turf conditions
You'll be hard pressed to find a more scenic golf course than this. Beautiful Arizona landscapes surround this course and make for amazing backdrops to most holes. The turf itself is well watered and in great condition. Greens are well maintained and quick. Be disciplined with your drives though, the scrub land is not a forgiving place to find your ball.
Loved playing the Boulers
Almost every hole could have been the "signature" hole. Boulders, cacti, wilderness areas, rabbits, quail, - this course has it all. If you love the desert, this course is for you. I had dreamed of playing here- and it was everything I hope it would be. Its pricey, so I won't be playing here often, but it was a real treat- I hope to be back again. If you get a chance to play it- go for it. You will NOT be disappointed.
Nice views
Friendly staff and nice views of the surrounding mountains and homes
Boulder review
Beautiful course with beautiful views. Golfed with a member, Scott. He was unbelievably helpful and friendly. He even put up with our bad shots. Thank you Scott. Joe and Claudia from Minnesota
Bould(ers) Over!
My wife kept going on about playing Boulders when we were planning our trip to AZ. Not sure where she'd got the info from but I'm glad she had as this course was just great from the moment we arrived (after a slight detour around the neighbouring estate where Fred & Wilma Flintstone and his mate Barney must live. The closet thing to Bedrock!)
Bag drop guys gave us all the info we needed! Pro very friendly and onto the range. Plenty of targets, great range balls and someone even turned our cart around to face the right way when we were ready to go to the first tee.
I played from the Whites, c6,350 yds and my wife from the Gold tees c 5,400 yds. With the fairways beautifully manicured but lush from the recent rains in the area this made the holes play quite long but still fair. Greens were running at 11 and very smooth and without too many severe undulations our putting should have been better, but can't blame the greens for our poor performance on them!
POP a bit slow but we still got around in just over the stipulated 4:30 that the course suggest it should take.
High end course but worth the money and if you are able to chip a few dollars off with a GN Hot Deal like we did then it's even better value! We would definitely play here again.
Swing slow!
Great Resort......Beautiful course
Played here for the first time on the south course in the Scottsdale men's league tournament. Nothing much to say other than fabulous Condition and fabulous resort.
Definately worth the drive into Carefree
worth the green fees
I would recommend this course to all golfers, when in "the valley of the sun" make a stop here for your true golf experience
Amazing experience!!
Playing the Boulders North was the highlight of our 3 week trip to the desert!! We saved the best for last!!!
The entire day was perfect, the only thing missing was a hole in one!! LOL. Perfect greens and fairways, wonderful pace of play and amazing vistas! I can't wait to return to play the North Course on our next trip West!
Great views and challenging
We played the north course. Some really great views and pace was great. The only negative would be that there are a lot of pitch marks on the greens.
Very good course
Beautiful December day, great conditions, interesting holes. What could be bad. Booked on Golfnow for terrific rate
Great desert golf experience!
If you're looking for desert golf, there is no better place than The Boulders. Excellent service, condition and playability. I've played here numerous times over a thirty year period and it never disappoints.
Great golf course, facilities and staff
We played the north course. It was coming out of over seeding recently and was in very good condition.
The fairways were great, having just been mowed to normal length. The greens rolled true and at a decent pace.
Overall, this is a fantastic golf facility and I/we recommend this course highly. Will play here again.
Lovely day
Nice except due to overseeing it was cart paths only.
Beautiful Course
Had a very nice round, but be aware that at the end of October, most courses in the area are overseeded, and cart path only! Also, for $150. they could offer you a bottle of water gratis! It is Arizona after all!
Doesn't get much better , desert classic
From the moment you hand your bag over till the moment you pack it up you are in for first class customer service and first class golf course.
This isn't a bomb it off every tee course , especially the front 9 , took us a few holes to get used to the layout and tee shots but when we did this was nothing but fun. Hey didn't even mind losing a few balls when we got to take in the scenery.
Pace of play was a good considering it is still cart path only , 4:20 for a threesome and 2 players had never played here , there was no one behind us either so we were taking our time and enjoying , we could have finished quicker..
If you get the chance please play this course , you won't be disappointed
Great layout
Course was carpat only, one player of our group have problems to walk, we were pushed by the marshal after 5th hole. They had outhing set at 1200 and have to play in 415 min
Great Experience
Asome layout. Beautifull scenery and houses around the course. Houses resemble the Flinstones. In some holes the landing areas are narrow. Good greens and good speed. Must play when in Scottsdale.
