The Boulders Resort & Spa unveils stay-and-play Pickleball Package in Scottsdale

The Boulders Resort & Spa in North Scottsdale is rolling out a stay-and-play Pickleball Package that pairs private casita accommodations with access to the resort’s newly enhanced pickleball facilities. The package marks a push by the property to serve visiting picklers who want instruction, court time and a full-resort experience without hunting for courts offsite.

ExperienceScottsdale describes the offer as a resort exclusive and writes, "Here, guests can reserve the Pickleball Package, a resort exclusive that includes nightly accommodations in a private casita, food and beverage credits, and unlimited pickleball play across the resort’s premier hard and cushioned courts." The resort sits among dramatic granite formations and blends racquet-sports amenities with spa, dining and outdoor activities that help it read as a full-service pickleball retreat as well as a vacation destination.

Court inventory and play options are a central draw. Multiple sources report that The Boulders now has 12 newly enhanced pickleball courts, and ExperienceScottsdale specifies a mix of "premier hard and cushioned courts." Instruction and support services are part of the pitch: the ExperienceScottsdale write-up notes access to instructor-led clinics, private lessons for all levels and services such as 24-hour re-gripping, giving players options from beginner drills to strategy sessions.

The resort’s own package copy confirms the offering but also frames usage limits. The Boulders’ site states, "The package is based on double occupancy and court availability." That language suggests court access is subject to scheduling and resort policy even if third-party coverage describes unlimited play. Players should weigh the advertised "unlimited" language against the resort’s court-availability caveat when planning peak-hour sessions.

Beyond courts and clinics, the property sells itself as a complete getaway. CalGolfNews highlights the private casitas and service level, writing, "At the Boulders Resort, you will feel like you are a million-miles-from-everywhere to relax in 'splendid seclusion.'" The private casitas feature wood-burning fireplaces, spacious bathrooms and private patios, and the resort offers five on-site restaurants, an organic garden, spa access and activities such as guided hikes and rock-climbing clinics.

Practical booking details are available through the resort. The Boulders lists its resort phone as 1-480-488-9009 and a reservations line at 1-888-579-2631, and the property address appears as 34631 N. Tom Darlington Dr, Scottsdale, AZ 85262 with a driving address variant listed to Carefree, AZ 85377. The resort site also displays navigation and package pages that point users to call to book.

What this means for picklers: The package packages instruction, court access and resort comforts into a single booking, making it easier to plan a skills-focused weekend or multi-day retreat. Because ExperienceScottsdale highlights F&B credits but the resort page only states the double-occupancy and court-availability condition, confirm pricing, any food and beverage credit amount, whether a nightly resort fee applies, and exact lesson or clinic inclusion before booking by calling reservations. With other Scottsdale resorts adding pro-quality courts, The Boulders’ package places it squarely in a growing regional market for stay-and-play pickleball escapes.
