About The Boulders Resort & Spa Scottsdale

Located in Carefree just north of Scottsdale is the Boulders Resort, a Curio Collection hotel by Hilton. This 1,200-acre resort and community features striking, millions-year-old boulder formations and two, 18-hole golf courses that encircle them. The resort is a village compound with spacious casitas with private balconies, as well as a handful of villas and homes for rent. The golf club features two courses, the North and South, as well as a driving range and golf academy. Boulders is well known for its Golden Door Spa with 33,000 square feet and 24 treatment rooms, plus a wide variety of fitness classes and programming. There are five dining concepts, highlighted by the Spotted Donkey Cantina, well known locally for its Mexican fare. The beauty and tranquility of the Sonoran Desert is on full, luxurious display at the Boulders Resort.

Great Experience!

First time at the Boulders and everything was as advertised. Teed off at 6:30am , no one in front or back so pace was great. Course was in incredible shape. Greens were hard so shots into the green rolled farther than expected but you adjust. Scenery was incredible. Would definitely play again.

Underrated North Course a gem today

While The Boulders is better known for the South, the North is a rugged, beautiful test and was in great shape. The edges of the course are desert and leave little for finding errant shots. Beautiful vistas, forced carries over and through cacti and desert areas. Early on the back nine you.hit uphill on long holes with views of homes built into hillsides. A satisfying and challenging tract of land.

Don't buy beverages!

Absolutely need to get the resort to do someone about beverage cart prices! 12.00 for ONE Coors Light is ridiculous! Poor beverage cart girl gets yelled at all the time for this. Seriously diminishes the greatness of the course!

Everything but the Drinks

Phenomenal day and was a spectacular course to play. Everything was great except the bev cart. Prices are outrageous. 2 miller lite 2 waters $42. I’ve played all over the country and this feels excessive. I’m even an Arizona resident and it’s still the resort cost. I’ve played both TPC here and this still feels out of line. Other than that it’s all phenomenal.
