SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.— October 15, 2025—The Boulders Resort & Spa Scottsdale, consistently named one of the “Best Golf Resorts in the Southwest,” and heralded as one of the finest 36-hole golf facilities worldwide, recently completed a multi-focused refinement project to further enhance the playability of its iconic North Course. The North Course reopened for play on Monday, October 13.
During the five-month project, crews restored green surfaces to their original shape and size, and resurfaced them with TifEagle turf, mirroring the green surfaces on the Boulders’ South Course (which completed a greens renovation project in 2022). TifEagle turf is an ultra-dwarf hybrid grass that offers improved speed, consistency and playability as well as smooth transitions during seasonal weather changes. TifEagle does not require overseeding, which traditionally takes place in October in Arizona, further supporting the region’s water stewardship efforts.
In addition to the greens renovation, the project included improvements to all tee boxes, laser leveling and resurfacing tee boxes across the North Course, and all tee boxes on the par-four and par-five holes of the South Course.
“This further illustrates our commitment to offering the very best golf course experience for our guests and members,” said the Boulders General Manager, John Maskovich. “With the completion of this project and our exceptional team of golf course professionals, it is our hope to continue to earn high marks in the golf industry.”
Originally designed by golf course architect Jay Morrish and open for play since 1985, the North Course is known for its rugged beauty and dramatic desert panoramas. This summer’s enhancement projects were overseen by golf course architect and ASGCA member, Arthur Schaupeter, who has 30-plus years of experience designing, developing and renovating golf courses across the country.
The North Course enhancement project comes three years after Boulders executed bunker renovation projects on both courses, installed new pump stations, renovated the South Course’s greens, and resurfaced the practice putting green. Other recent enhancements at the Boulders include new fall programs at the Boulders Golf Academy, 12 new pickleball courts and fall clinics at the Boulders Tennis & Pickleball Garden. In addition, David Benham was appointed Director of Golf Course Operations and now oversees all golf programs, pro shop operations, course maintenance, the Tennis & Pickleball Garden, and the Boulders Club Membership.
