Not hard to see where the area or the resort gets it's name!
Huge granite boulders millions of years old surround the entire area and property.
Even the pool area is surrounded by "the boulders."
As the book says, "Flintstones-Like buildings are nestled ingeniously among them (the boulders)."
But it's main claim to fame are the two 18-hole Jay Morrish-designed courses that stand in stark contrast in their lush green beauty against the desert landscape. It's gorgeous!
I'm not a golfer, but I walked around the courses and watched the golfers and appreciated it all just the same!
I also did the Nature Path
And saw lots of huge cacti 🌵
And made friends with this scaly creature 🦎
Verdict: No. It's beautiful. It's creative. It's luxurious. I love that everything about this place is built into the landscape and environment and becomes a part of it both in color and in materials. But I maintain that there are just very few hotels that fit into the category of something you have to do before you die. By all means, if you have the money, come stay here! But you can certainly go to your grave just fine if you don't.
