I grew up in the Phoenix area and have been to a few golf courses. This is by far, the most breathtaking course I have ever been to. They have two different courses, both known to be challenging. The best part about this golf course though, is not the challenge, but the atmosphere! The desert oasis lines up right to the boulders themselves. It's a truly remarkable place; and The Boulders resort is so far removed from the main city, that you can actually see a variety of wildlife. Like I said, I have grown up in the Phoenix area and never experienced anything like this. If you want to be challenged and get a great view while you're at it, I would highly recommend making the hike up to this gem!
