Boulders Golf Resort North, Arizona

The Boulders is world renowned as one of the finest golf resorts in the western United States. Nestled in the tranquil beauty of the high Sonoran desert, Boulders derives its name from the 12-million year old granite boulder formations that dot the landscape. From the ancient Indians to the modern day vacationers who come to bask in the peace of a spectacular natural setting, all have been drawn to the vast serenity of the terrain and the precariously balanced boulders silhouetted against the Sonoran sky.

Designed by Jay Morrish, the two 18-hole golf courses are built right into the desert foothills and framed by ancient saguaros. Known for their rugged beauty and challenging play, each hole is a scenic wonder and desert wildlife is often seen darting into the rough. The experienced staff offers professional instruction along with other recreational pleasures including tennis, a full service spa, a festive marketplace and five distinctive dining rooms, all surrounded by majestic natural beauty. Now wonder The Boulders is a perennial winner of Golf Magazine's Golf Medal Award.

The golf facilities include a targeted grass range, short game areas with grass bunkers, and multiple putting greens. Practice balls are complimentary…those staying at the resort can take advantage of using one of the most complete golf resort practice areas in the country. Hole diagram cards are available for each course, with images of the layouts for each hole along with yardages to hazards and landing zones. First time visitors will find this information helpful. Standard on each cart are ball and club washers and ice chests, and a staff of attendants waits to courteously attend to most of your needs.

Finely manicured rolling fairways play from sculpted tee boxes to wonderfully conditioned bent grass greens. There is plentiful bunkering and the surrounding mountains, saguaro cacti, indigenous brush and desert wildflowers make for some post card memories. Desert carries are frequent but reasonable in length, allowing golfers of all skill levels to enjoy their experience here. The courses are well marked, with yardage blocks posted every 25 yards from 200 (250 on par fives) to 75 yards in – providing distances to the front, middle and back of the greens. All par threes also have yardage blocks on the tee boxes. The putting surfaces on both courses are large, mildly undulating and often protected by grass and sand bunkers, swales and mounding. Conditioning from tee to green is impeccable! This is an idyllic setting – stunning landscape, challenging layouts, and top notch amenities.
