Boulders Golf Resort

Overall Ranking: #5

The Boulders Golf Resort consists of 36 holes of true desert golf. The South course might be the most picturesque true desert golf course in the valley. The North Course, while not quite as picturesque is a better layout than the South course.  The South course is easier, shorter and more forgiving than the North course, while the North Course is longer and more of a true championship golf course.  The amenities and conditions are always superb. The Boulders is one of two remaining public courses in the valley that offer Bent Grass Greens.  Course conditions are always in the top 4-5 public courses in the valley. The Boulders is quite a drive from most areas in the valley, the city of Carefree (5 mins from course) hosts some of the best restaurants around.
