South at The Boulders Golf Club

South at The Boulders, nestled amid the dramatic boulder formations north of Scottsdale, presents a masterclass in desert target golf, a stark contrast to gentler landscapes. Originally sculpted by Jay Morrish, with significant enhancements by his former associate, Tom Weiskopf, the South Course demands strategic precision off the tee and unwavering accuracy on approach. Errant shots are swallowed by the unforgiving Sonoran Desert; survival hinges on calculated risk and respect for the terrain. A shorter course, the course meanders through tight corridors and boasts an array of tricky dog legs.

While The Boulders has not hosted major professional events, its South Course maintains a strong reputation as a demanding yet visually stunning test for golfers of all skill levels. The local amateur circuit often finds its way here, testing the mettle of the area's best players against the course's inherent challenges. The club attracts a membership drawn to the dramatic natural beauty and the constant strategic calculations the course demands.

Beyond the course, The Boulders is known for its sophisticated and relaxed atmosphere, a fitting complement to its challenging layouts. While lacking a signature dish, the club offers a refined dining experience that mirrors the overall elegance of the property. The overall experience is considered understated luxury and natural beauty.
