courses, a tennis garden and the Sonoran Spa. And five distinctively different

peaceful and unspoiled places.”

.Activities & Attractions
Golf
Two captivating 18-hole championship courses designed by Jay Morrish are
sculpted into the desert so golfers can tee off from the top of a boulder,
look out over fairways framed by ancient saguaros, and catch an occasional
glimpse of desert wildlife darting into the rough. (That’s given way to one
of the more colorful rules for playing The Boulders: if a coyote picks up your
ball and carries it off, you can drop a ball and play it from there.) Golfers
also appreciate the extensive practice facility at The Boulders Club to
sharpen their game before or after a round of golf. In addition, the resort
offers special vacation packages and golf programs like the innovative Women
To The Fore.
