Editor's Note: Course closed for business in 2025.

Shalimar Golf Club is a nine-hole golf course in Tempe. The course is best for beginners but it has enough challenges in store to make it a great option for more advanced players who want a quick round. The layout is comprised of three par 3s and six par 4s. It weaves through a smattering of mature trees and across gently rolling hills. The small greens can be quite tricky, especially since there are strategically placed bunkers lurking along some. Water hazards come into play on a few holes, including the 155-yard fifth, which is one of the golf course's toughest. You'll have to pull off a carry over the area's biggest lake to a heavily bunkered, narrow green. Shalimar Golf Club's ninth hole is the most well known though, mainly for the island green. In addition to the water, there are also four bunkers surrounding the green.

Horrible!

Very unmaintained, you can tell no one has tried to take care of the course in a very long time, ball cleaners at each hole are broken, no trash cans at holes, THE ENTIRE COURSE IS FLOODED, greens are super rough. STAY AWAY!!!

Sad to see the course close but it is time

Sadly this course is in the final month before it closes and you can tell. Bar has closed down and the course is no longer being maintained.

Several of the holes no longer have flags on them of signs because the residents have stolen them.

Farewell, old friend.

Shalimar is a fun little test for <$20. Hard to beat the value. Sure, it’s a bit run down, but still in good enough shape to have a great time hitting several different shots in just 9 holes. The greens are tiny and hard and roll pretty decent. You’ve got to hit good shots to make par. The only negative about the whole thing is, it’s reportedly going away this month. Being shut down to eventually develop the land into housing. Total bummer. Farewell old friend!

This is a pretty rough course. Not sure how much longer this course will be around. At least it’s cheap.
