The Boulders is pure desert golf. Big rocks, tight lines, fast greens, and unreal views. Challenging but fair. Bring your “A” game and lots of water. Worth the trip.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ — South Course at Boulders Golf Club Really enjoyed my round on the South Course. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful from the moment I arrived, which set the tone for a great day. The layout itself is fun and scenic, and as a 9‑handicap playing from the white tees, the course felt like the perfect balance — challenging without being punishing, especially for someone who isn’t a long hitter. Course conditions were mostly strong. Tees and fairways were in excellent shape, and the routing kept things interesting throughout. The greens were the one disappointment: a bit bumpy and not rolling very true. A few bunkers could also use more sand — I even caught some exposed landscape fabric in one of them. The wildlife and photo ops are a big highlight here. The first hole is probably the best of the “signature” holes, and I kept waiting for another one later in the round to match it, but nothing quite did. Still, it was a solid overall experience and good value for the money. Wrapped up with lunch at the grill, and Vanessa was fantastic — friendly, attentive, and a great way to end the day.

If you get a chance go play the Boulders, the North is mostly reserved for Members only, with the South being for resort guests The Boulders North Course offers a premier desert golf experience that balances tactical challenge with stunning scenery. ​For the Pros: This layout rewards precise shot-making and long-iron play, especially from the back tees. The Bentgrass greens provide a true, consistent roll that is rare for the Arizona desert. ​For the Joes: The course is visually spectacular with massive rock formations and saguaros. While the desert carries can be intimidating, multiple tee boxes and generous fairways keep it playable and highly enjoyable for all skill levels.

Difficult but really fun course! Great design weaving through the boulders. Very picturesque. My negatives were that the greens weren't smooth, the driving range wasn't long enough to hit driver, and the service at the restaurant was subpar.

Views at Boulders are spectacular! We played the South course, and our group was very pleased with the golf. Get here earlier than you normally would, as there's a security gate and that may delay your entry to the facility. Additionally, parking is a bit of a walk from the bag drop. Fairways were in pristine condition, greens less so in places. Speed of greens were much faster than other tracks we've recently played, so I recommend some time on the practice green before your round. Staying below the pin on greens will help your score. Practice chipping area is a plus. On the downside, $9 for a bottle of water is laughable. Forcing a 19% tip at the carts is also poor form. Course review loses one star from me for this point alone. There is no "turn" @ #9 to access the clubhouse, so I highly recommend you bring plenty of water at the start of your round. As long as you don't need the beverage cart, I highly recommend this track.
