Arizona Golf Courses – Boulders Golf Club South Course
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

If you have to play one but not the other course at The Boulders, then the South better be your No. 1 choice. Spectacular beyond belief with magical million-year-old boulders — and loaded with signature holes \u2013 the South Course is full of the Kodak eye-candy you ogle in national golf magazines. There is one catch to playing The Boulders, however: You must stay at the world-class resort on the outskirts of Carefree (15 minute from Scottsdale) to get a tee time in peak season. Not necessarily a bad thing, considering The Boulders has earned a mountain of rewards ever since the first nine holes opened in 1969.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

Hole #5 at The Boulders – South Course<\/p><\/div>\n

Red Lawrence built the original nine and Phoenix architect Jack Snyder completed the first 18 a few years later. In 1984 Jay Morrish added 10 more holes as The Boulders played to three distinct nines up until 1992. That\u2019s when Morrish returned to add the other eight holes, which were ultimately scrambled into the North and the South.<\/p>\n

For some reason, the more fantastic offerings like the par-5 fifth hole, that gives you a choice between two fairways that lead to an incredible green setting snuggled into the rocks, as well as the par-3 seventh hole, where a seven-story-high boulder called \u201cRosie\u2019\u2019 awaits, turned up on the South Course. Even Morrish, a very honest gent who has since retired, was puzzled by the difference.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs it turned out, I really like the South Course much more than the North,\u2019\u2019 he said. \u201cI did those opening five holes, and the majority of the 18 on the South. Unfortunately, it\u2019s kind of strung out and doesn\u2019t tie together that well. But if you look at each hole individually, they\u2019re pretty darn good.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Nobody at the club argues, nor do advertising production companies that seem to film TV commercial after TV commercial on the South. For convenience sake, the club reserves one course for the membership and the other course for resort play daily.<\/p>\n
