Great time
We had a very enjoyable time playing the course. The weather was great, everyone was very nice and accommodating and the course was in excellent condition.
Great course for $40
Nice dessert golf course. Need to carry the tee shot on a few holes just to make the fairway. Nice and challenging.
Great course
This is my favorite course in all of Arizona a true must play
Beautiful golf course
Both Boulders golf course are fun to play, having a nice layout, with a perfect blend with nature, but my review this time is regarding of green condition which have been recently aerated making putting experience a little frustrated.
Other than than, this golf course is a must play course if you love the game.
Greens recovering
Although recently punched the greens were not too bad and should recover quickly.
Staff great but golf now dropped the ball
Course was great part that was bad was when we arrived the didn't have are tee time and pro shop advised this happens often with golf now.
Beautiful course
Had trouble reading the greens. Course in great shape.
Wonderful AZ Golf Experience
My wife and I had the pleasure of playing the south course in May. the weather was low 80's and very pleasant and the course was in fantastic condition. the fairways are lush and the greens roll true - but they are tricking, with lots of subtle undulations. Most of the forced carries over the desert from the mens tees are reasonable but be mindful that balls anywhere near the desert are truly gone.
Boulders is a great golf day!
Tranquil and beautiful
We played the South course yesterday and it was wonderful. The course was in great shape, moderately difficult and the pace of play was very smooth. The weather was perfect and I very much look forward to playing the course again.
Best in North Scottsdale
This is one of the most scenic and great courses around. The greens stimped a 10 on the day we played. Immaculate conditions. Much more playable than many of the nearby desert destinations. The staff is beyond good. Very expensive except when you can get a great rate on Golf Now.
Eagle rating
What a great treat for two Colorado avid golfers. We loved the design, the pace & the wildlife!
Great Course at a reduced Price
Loved the course at $119.00. Stay in Scottsdale through the winter but will not play because of exaggerated overpricing in the winter. Many other alternatives.
Arizona Golfing
We found the course in excellent condition and come back again
Great conditioned course-can be difficult
South Course is beautiful with photo op type holes. Fairways and greens were in excellent condition. Greens rolled at about a 10+ and true. Was told by staff leaving cart area to "keep driver in the bag" and should have listened. Fairways are generous enough but not having played the course before and not accounting for how fast the fairways were running lost balls hitting in the wrong places.
Played early and pace of play was great...only slowed by looking in the desert scrub areas for misplaced drives.
Great course
Course was in perfect condition, the course plays out in front of you. Pace was outstanding.
Great layout
Everything was perfect except greens were very slow
Easter Sunday on the course
Best way to celebrate. Played as a single in 4 hours. Have never played here before. Got to try different shots and clubs. Went in and asked for an emergency nine and gave me same rate for half a round and sent me back out. Joined a three some on the second hole. Played in two hours. Great views greens bunkers and fairways
Best conditioned course in area
The Boulders South course did not disappoint. Spectacular golf holes and views. You do not see another hole while you are playing your hole. No 2 holes are the same. Greens were in perfect condition and VERY consistent hole to hole. Was paired up with 2 great guys and had a marvelous day of golf.
Great course but at least one staff member was incredibly rude
The course is in great condition, pace of play is as you would expect and the greens are fast 11.5.
I have played both courses a number of times now and in general you can't flaw the course. On this occasion unfortunately one of the staff at the check in desk, I believe his name was Binar (or some variation of this name), was less than professional and unhelpful. I can only say his attitude is not becoming of the course nor its otherwise stellar staff. I would strongly suggest that managemwnt review carefully their choice of employee, because this guy is the antithesis of what one expects of a course of this caliber, perhaps one bad apple just slipped through the net, even so it is something that is unacceptable and should be corrected.
Outside service
Outside service was top notch
