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.

Short Course- Easy to Walk

This 9-hole course is easy to find and easy to play. Nothing over 350 Yds. Wide fairways, small greens and plenty of trees. We decided to use youthful caddies and it was fun. Price was right at $20 with coupon.

Deferred maintenance

While still a good deal to walk 9 holes for $20 in Arizona in February, Shalimar has a lot of what appears to be deferred maintenance. This is understandable considering the course may close in 2025. Still, it is hard to play out of sand traps full of weeds.

Not happy

Checked in for our tee time. We had a 10:30 time. I asked the guy who we follow. He said just get in the line up. You just line up as you check in. That was not right. Was not happy with that. Course was in really bad shape. For the money we paid for 9 holes, my wife and I. It was not worth it. That’s for sure.

TLC needed

Shalimar is a nice local course, but could be better with some TLC (fix the bridge by #5.) Unless you are making a ton of money on foot golf remove it. Its just a distraction for golfers.

Tees/Grees/Fairways were all in decent condition (again TLC)
