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.

For a quick round of golf Shalimar was fun to play. It’s an older course over 50 years old. The staff was very nice and helpful. Sorry to hear this 9 hole course may not be around much longer. A lot of history there, vintage buildings, lovely neighborhood and would play it again. Enjoyed our morning round

The grounds were poorly maintained.
Broken tees and debris everywhere.
I brought a guest and her comment sadly was that “it was the worst course she had ever played”.
Very disappointing.

Needs a lot of work.

If you just want to knock it around a bit after the winter, it's ok. But too bad there is no pride in ownership. A little water, fertilizer, and raking of the traps do wonders.

Complete Mess

Have visited Shalimar many times over the years , has the potential for nice , fun layout , but is in complete disarray now, needs new ownership & TLC! Nothing on grounds is being taken care of fairways , greens , water , sand traps trees , tee boxes , big fat zero on maintenance & landscape ! It’s sad & too bad ownership didn’t care to run it better : l( Having to leave your drivers license for cart rental is ridiculous response to theft problem

Not worth the money

Not well maintained. And it was not cheap. Rented clubs that were like mallets hitting the ball. Very disappointing.
