Nestled among 12-million-year-old boulders in the scenic desert foothills near Scottsdale, Arizona, Boulders Golf Club & Resort is one of the country's most prestigious resort destinations. The North golf course at Boulders plays big brother to the South Course, and offers bentgrass and marvelous views of the Black Mountain, as the course winds through the community of Boulders. Both golf courses spring from the desert foothills and feature take-your-breath-away panoramic vistas -- among those of spectacular formations of boulders, stunning Sonora sunsets and indigenous terrain.

Great :-)

Just a great place outside of Scottsdale in the "Sonoran Desert". In the middle of a resort. A clear MUST play 😊

Course was fun, drink prices were outrageous

Course had a nice layout but grass could be in better shape being a “top” AZ course. Drink prices were insane. $85 for 6 nooners, $115 for 3 cocktails and a turkey wrap I could have got from the gas station. I most likely won’t go back.

Disappointment

I had high hopes for this place. I couldn’t believe how crappy it was. Greens were concrete & poorly maintained (photo attached for example - many were like this). Most tee boxes were domed, chunked up, & hard as a rock. The South course doesn’t have access to the proshop at the then so we had to wait for the beverage cart which we only saw twice. The giant boulders were cool but not much better than you can see from the road.

An amazing day!!

I’ve had the pleasure of playing many of the premium courses in AZ but Boulders had yet to be crossed of the list. Luckily there was a great rate posted on GN and we jumped on it. What a great day. The course was in pristine condition. The greens on the North course were fast but receptive. The views were great and although it’s not considered as scenic as the South course it was a great day.

Boulders -South Course

The course is somewhat tight on some holes yet enjoyable to play. Greens were very fast and firm.
Small perks such as water bottles in the cart cooler really should be a standard.
For the amount one pays to play up at Boulders, it was an 4.45 minute round with a lot of waiting for the players in front to move -really frustrating and difficult to keep in the game -may be space players out more or someone to monitor the rounds.
