THE
BOULDERS
RESORT
S
ituated in the aptly named
town of Carefree, 20 min-
utes north of Scottsdale,
the Boulders rocks with 36 holes
that melt into the desert land-
scape, highlighted by giant
saguaro cacti and the prehistoric
rocks that give the resort its
name. The cart ride alone on the
front nine is worth the price of
admission. Take the time to
climb up to the back tees at the
6th, 7th and 8th holes. This is
Flintstones golf in Bedrock stuff.
The South also serves up the par-
4 first and the par-5 fifth, both
with greens at the base of six-
story-high boulders. Its sibling
the North perhaps is better bal-
anced, but for pure desert thrills,
seek out the South.
