The Boulders Resort


The resort name is irrefutably solid— The Boulders.

It’s literal, eternal, strong. it both describes the defining features of the two Jay Morish-designed courses and suggests the Sisyphean nature of a fame that eludes mastery despite our tireless efforts. The perfection to which we aspire does exist in the courses’ exquisite beauty an in experiencing it with the benefit of the resort’s sage instructors and professional caddies. Quality permeates the 1,300-acre property in aptly named Carefree. Not only does Golf Digest currently rate it the Best Resort in the Southwest, but this year Travel + Leisure readers voted it the Best Hotel in Arizona, thanks to spectacular upgrades in its rugged refined suites and casitas. The otherwordly spa delivers a smorgasbord of treatments that leaves you feeling as balanced as the giant prehistoric rocks framing the resort’s eight tennis courts, four pools, three restaurants and spectacular lounge.
