About

Holes 18
Type Resort
Style Executive
Par 54
Length 2310 yards
Slope 91
Rating 57.0

The executive golf course at Mountain Shadows Golf Club in addition to being an excellent course has the added benefit of having a picturesque location nestled in the foothills of Camelback Mountain, and it also offers views of the equally majestic Mummy Mountains. The oleanders and palm trees sprinkled throughout the course enhance the pleasant atmosphere. The golf course's 18th hole boasts beautiful views of the sunset during the twilight hours but the signature hole is the par-3 12th hole. It plays uphill toward Camelback Mountain and over a pond and brook to a double-tiered green that is well protected by bunkers.

Par 3 golf isn't for everyone. Thanks for giving us a try.

We have 18 par 3's ranging from 70 yards up to 200 yards.

We strive for friendly and helpful service with great course conditions and the best view in town.

Gorgeous fun course

Gorgeous fun course at the base of camelback with breath taking views. Best Time to play is late afternoon the sun setting is gorgeous. Even though it’s a short course it’s challenging which makes it more fun. It is a bit pricey because it’s at a resort.

If you have a chance to play with less time do this course.

A very tricky course

The course wasn’t what we imagined for a par 3 course. It’s a very nice course, with great views, but very challenging.
