The Boulders Resort & Spa Scottsdale

The South course at The Boulder's Club in Carefree, AZ is as beautiful a desert course as you will EVER play. The desert around and running through this course has been left in it's wild natural state (like the North course here) and it is gorgeous. Unless you are an accurate player with confidence to just "hit it" you will find this desert more than once and good luck playing out of it. The course is visually intimidating off the tee on most of the holes. It is a little wider than it looks, but shots along the edges WILL roll into the desert. Great greens!

NOT a course for beginners or sprayers of the golf ball! I think it plays tougher than it's slope rating, especially for the bogey golfer.

Classic target golf in AZ. Overall conditions were excellent. Greens were rolling at 11 which were quicker than most we played during AZ golf weekend of early May 2017. Treated well. Could definitely tell it is a members facility that alternates the course that is open to high green fee public play. Nice layout. plenty of room for error but again...target golf with a lot of carries over desert. Fun par threes. Excellent boulder views! Would play again...but not at $150-250.

Appears that the focus with the staff is on efficiency not friendliness. Cart person was definitely not having a good day. Pro shop person was probably the one I would single out as efficient AND friendly. Year-round resident golfers appreciate friendliness. Remember that this summer!

Spectacular desert views and plant life, course was in excellent shape. The greens were perfect. Will play again for sure.

I played the North course. It was prestine with plush fairways and receptive greens. Thoroughly enjoyed playing this course.

I wanted to play this course because it was a Jay Morrish design and he designed my home course. I enjoyed the layout of the course, however around the 1 and 10 teeing area there is too much traffic, the course was extremely busy all throughout the round with random people walking across the course and workers all over. Then a 1oz(single) drink was $12. I thought i was at a New York night club.

Really enjoyed the course and the dramatic Boulders throughout the course.

Nice track but a few things would have made round better

GPS in carts would have been nice at that price point instead of reading a card that my reading glasses could barley pick up.

Carts are old and tired.

Tee areas are marked poorly in places our foursome drove by a couple and had to turn around and we noticed other foursomes doing the same.

I just find it frustrating that there is no sand in bunkers not enough to get the club under the ball and at that price point , I expect it.

Enjoyed the course. The North course is somewhat expensive for what you get. The scenery is not even close to the south course. Disappointed because my guest had never played here and thought he was going to see the large rock formations. Just make sure you play the south if you want the Boulders experience. North is a very nice course

North course inexcellent condition - great layout - challenging 3,4,and 5's

I've played 7 or 8 of the Golf Top 100 You Can Play, Boulders South is on that list and very deservedly so. The views all around the course were wonderful and the course itself was incredible. The layout is challenging but playable - landing areas are big enough to swing away on most driving holes, although many times a targeted shot is best. Greens were quick but not overly so. Sand is very consistent which makes it easier to develop a tactic when hitting out. Course conditions were green and lush - top rate in every way. The staff was friendly and was obviously hustling to keep things moving. One of the best in PHX!

We played the south course and arrived in the middle of the afternoon during the week to find a very busy place since there are 2 golf courses there. They were well organized and got us out in a timely fashion after we used the range. The greens rolled real nice even though they were treated. The only problem we ran into was the fact that the foursome in front of our twosome would not let us play through even though they we were on the same par three where they were teeing off. The ranger wouldn't let us play through either and a big gap opened and we finished in the dark. Other than that it was all of what we expected and its worth the golf now rate.

Glad that I played the North Course after reserving it through GolfNow and not paying the rack rate. GolfNow even saved me over the rate they quoted me for staying there. The North Course is not worth the rack rate. There are so many other courses in that area that are less expensive and are a better track. I hear that the South Course is better, but more expensive.
