Stunning course
This is visually one of the best golf courses you will have a play As there are many courses in the Scottsdale area that offer great courses this one has it all.located in the cave creek area at the boulders resort this is an exciting course to play with many visual surprises well kept and well situated this of course I must go back and play again
Great Layout and Scenery
Despite only being open 4 days since the overseed, the North Course was in great shape . Greens were slow compared to normal but very smooth.
Beautiful views of surrounding Boulders and mountains are coupled with a very good course design with well bunkered but fair holes . Staff was very friendly and appeared to genuinely appreciate our visit as there are a lot of courses to choose from
Over- Seeding Cash Grab!
We came to Scottsdale AZ for our yearly golf trip.We have never played Boulders before as it is always really expensive.We made a decision to pay the $150 USD as we thought we save the best for last.The fairways were uncut for many weeks,the ball plugged on the fairway!!.All carry no roll.Greens really soft and wet.As you walk you leave shoe imprints all over the green.No taking the carts on the fairway!,really?? for $150.If your going to over-seed,just shut down or warn people before they book.We were so excited to play there and left so disappointed.
pretty, but some rough spots
pretty course, but some fairways had dried up areas and the collar areas around some greens were pretty torn up.
A Course With a View
Played the south course. Very nice layout and well maintained! I'm a 12 handicap and the course was challenging from the white tees but very fair and playable. At times it was difficult to concentrate on golf for the awesome panoramic views of the "Boulders"! Pace was good and the staff very accommodating! Can be a bit pricey if you don't get a special rate but definitely a course you should play at least once !
Outstanding course
Have played this course often and one of my favorites. Great layout, great conditions, especially enjoyed the bent grass greens; hard to find in this part of the world
Won't Disappoint
Golf Now offers tremendous bargains at premier courses. This course is always in fantastic shape and offers challenges for any level of golfer.
Slow pace and no Marshall
Course has great views but a bit under maintained. The pace of play was horrific which takes away from the day.
Excellent Golf Experience
Have played the course over 20 years!
Always a pleasant and satisfying experience.
Boulders is a great layout
The course in is great shape. In spite of the heat, the fairways are in great condition and the green held and were true. The pace of play was also great. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
Breathtaking... I'm still in Awww with the view
I got a hot deal on golf now for this course. I paid $25 which normally I heard the rate is about $160 and up for a round in the fall. The course was breath taking and we got played both course. We started out with the back nine of north course and front nine of south course... I definitely recommend this course to everyone- it's a must try if you get the chance. It's have some very challenging holes... The pace of play was a tad annoying for me.. I have to wait like 10-15 mins on each holes.. I guess everyone is taking their time soaking in the views... Because I paid such a cheap deal and my tee time was 10:10... For some reason, all the course landscaper was mowing the fairway at every hole I was teeing off or playing. Got annoying how distracted they are and they didn't even move to get out of your ball flight way.. My game was not good that day because of the waiting and distraction of landscaper.. But overall it was a great experiences to play such a prestige course.. I guess I can't complaint..
Rude members
Great course unless you are unlucky and get behind the group of 5 senior lady members. Two of us ended up skipping a hole to pass them. And we're told by staff that they never let people play through. Won't be going back to a great course, I thought that golf etiquette applied to everyone!
Good course
Good driving range, good tee box spacing for different levels, greens in good shape, very appealing surroundings, nice pro shop, very friendly staff,
Great course
I have played there many times, the service and the course are phenomenal
Just Right
This course is always beautiful. We visited just as they were renovating the clubhouse which was the only bad thing about our round. Even with that they had it well marked so it was easy to get where you needed to go. It will be very nice when it is finished.
The course was in fabulous shape and the greens were excellent. Only a few brown patches in some fairways which were getting special attention with watering. Those patches were small and not many of them. The greens were fast which took some getting used to as our home course in Texas is very slow. Pace was fast as there were a lot of golfers but mostly in twos and threes and they all moved quickly. We finished our round in 3 hours.
Great Course
Played the North course today. The course conditions were excellent. The greens are perfect. We played in less than 4 hours. It was a hot day and there was plenty of water on the course. The cart girl checked on us several times. The staff was very nice. They made sure we had enough water. There was a guy on the course passing out frozen towels. It was a very enjoyable day. I will definitely go back.
Good golf!
Played a fantastic round yesterday! The course and greens were in fantastic shape for July in Arizona. A wonderful staff made for a great day of golf!
A hot round
Course was in good shape. Some of fringes were burned out, summer time in the desert I guess. People working were ok, not overly friendly. Course is very deceptive when you look at fairways. First time out, hard to know how much fairway is really there and where is the best place to try to place shots.
Coarse
I had greater expectations of the staff than I experienced. Coarse was fantastic.
Most scenic course
This was one of the most demanding course I have ever played! Very hard on balls but topped by the scenic views and the numerous wildlife-sightings.
