Shalimar Golf Club

About
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.

a good day
Shalimar is a great course, as long as you have realistic expectations; it's not sculpted and groomed and post-card perfect. It's not trying to impress you. It's just a simple course that gives you a nice 9 holes to enjoy with friends and strangers. It is nicely tucked away off the main street and has mature landscaping. The most challenging thing is that the greens are tiny: most of them are around 3,000 sq feet or less, so your ability to manage your approach is crucial. If you just want to play and aren't consumed with having amenities, this is a great value.
Not going to Shalimar anymore
We had a 745 booked for 4/7/2021, it was also ladies day so my partner and I got bounced to the 5th hole played for an hour and only made it back to hole 1. We then sat at hole 1 for thirty minutes waiting for the hole to clear and it never did. They were way over booked with walkers and we received no notice or help in anyway.

A Tempe Gem; Arizona Gem
History, Energy, & Flow. Love it. Atypical and against the grain at all levels. This is a course that is accepting to beginners, yet satisfying to the experienced.

Family Fun. No stress golf.
We played 18 today. It was very slow but everyone was talking to each other, laughing and just enjoying the Saturday. The course is compact, giving it an intimate feel. Even some of the neighbors stopped to talk to us while waiting to tee off. Greens were firm. Fairways decent. Overall fun rating a 10!

Educate
Realize this is a beginner course but a 5 minute talk on course etiquette for all the new golfers who play this course would go a long way. Played with 3 older gentlemen on the first nine and 3 college students on the replay. Overall a good experience.
Just some simple info as how to speed up play to these novice golfers would be great. Some boys thought they had to wait for the group in front to finish a par 4 before they hit their 100 yard drives. They simply had no clue.
Hello, ctgalla. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you'll give us another try in the near future. Thanks for choosing Shalimar Golf Club.

Shalimar is a gem
I love this place. It's my local, 2 min drive, 5 min bike ride, 18 min walk from my house. I'm pretty new to golf, recently moved to AZ from CA, but really love coming out to Shalimar whenever I can. I make it at least every week and I'm going to get a membership. It's affordable, has come challenging holes and friendly staff. They do a great lunch deal.
Great spot! I took my bosses here. They are pretty solid golfers and both enjoyed it.
