The Boulders Resort & Spa Scottsdale

Everything was great except the condition of the greens. They were patchy and the ball didn’t roll on line.

Could be the most scenic golf course in the world. Definitely a challenging one. The waste areas are thick with bush and cacti so keep it on the grass or bring a few extra balls if you spray it everywhere like me lol. It’s absolutely gorgeous. Service is excellent. Drink and food prices a bit on the high side compared to other courses we played with similar green fees, but not something I would really complain about considering the surroundings. We played the south course, which unfortunately does not have a halfway house, but the beverage cart made it to us 4 times on our round so we didn’t have to go without anything. Pace of play was average, 4:10 for us, and we are slow with two ladies and myself all being higher handicap golfers, we still had to wait at a couple tee boxes. This was also not a complaint for us as it was only a one shot wait. Some faster golfers might feel differently, but to me 4 hours is a pretty decent pace.

I would come back to Phoenix just to golf here again.

There is something about desert light that hits different, especially late in the year. Better than most, The Boulders South shows it off beautifully. Early holes that play into the rock formations that give the property its name set a very strong tone, and though the later holes are not as overwhelmingly scenic, the whole place is a gorgeous place to play golf.

Holes 1-5 at the Boulders South have the best views of any of the Scottsdale golf courses. Course conditions were good as the course was recently overseeded. This is a must play!

Boulders North is a real gem. It's gets overshadowed by the South course but it's actually a better layout. It may not have the spectacular views like the South but the back nine is the best 9 off all the 9s. Great condition and the staff was very helpful.

There are better courses you can play for 250$.

Greens were horrible as previous bent grass is growing through the tif-eagle. Tee boxes were beat up like a poorly run muni. Played about 10 years ago and it wasn't much better. I don't know who reviews these courses. They may be reviewing the resort and may only look at the course.

What a fun golf course. True risk and reward. Wonderfully fast and true greens. I think that the sand is the most difficult part of the course. Thick and fluffy. I just don't have anything to compare it to.

Now let's talk about the but. The cart girl came by and I ordered two beers and a water. $35. But of course that includes taxes and gratuity. $15 a beer. I was going to stop at the grill for a couple of beers and their smoked pastrami Reuben. I passed because I couldn't imagine what they were going to charge for that.

Anyway, the course is in great shape and is a blast to play.

Played Boulders before and love the layout. Tight but fair. Would have rated it better but the greens at this time of year are borderline unplayable. Unlike most quality courses in this region where everything is over seeded including greens, Boulders seems to have a different grass on the greens. Its almost like its dormant. Rolls very well but rock hard and about 12 on the stimp if not more. The design of the course makes this very challenging to navigate. Took away from the enjoyment to some degree. You may love this but we felt it was a little unfair.

The course was nice but the greens are terrible

They have two courses; guest play the south course which is average for the area ; the north course greens are immaculate. Try the ritz Carlton at dove mountain in Tucson. $100 less and far better condition

We played it and it was championship caliber

For the overwhelming majority of visitors, the South Course is what people associate with the Boulders. But on Tuesdays, when the South Course is closed for maintenance, the usually-private North Course welcomes visitors and resort guests.

It is somewhat less flashy than its sibling, but as an end-to-end golf experience, it is delightful, with several holes that feel intimate but provide plenty of room to play, and several greens with diverse hole locations that can change things up nicely one day to the next. In other words: a near-ideal members’ course at a fantastic overall facility.

Played this course for the first time since 2018, and it is still fantastic and a blast to play, not to mention beautiful!

Regular prices have gone way up, but the occasional hot deals are reasonable for a Scottsdale area golf of this caliber, and everything is included.

Nice pace throughout and friendly staff, course was in great condition, except the greens which were burnt out; putts were still fast and true, but approach shots could not bite at all, making them less pleasant than other courses in the area.

Recent reviews about long rounds were concerning, however, South is OFF cart path only and a marshall was on hand. 4.5 hr round which is expected given distances between tees, etc. All good!

The surroundings were beautiful. The course was in great shape. Fast greens. Hard to read. The course is extremely challenging, because your tee shot is either in the fairway or out of play. Not much in between.

This is an awesome course with great views and a wonderful layout. Always a pleasure to play here.

Great course with friendly staff. Beautiful views will make you forget bad shots.

If you are anywhere near Phoenix Boulders GC is an absolute must!! Great course, Scenery and Staff!!
