Mountain Shadows Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

The title of the course at the entrance is “the short course” at shadow Mountain
This course should clearly state it is a PAR 3 course in the title vs the fine print. Based on the price one could easily assume otherwise. Laughable even then carts are an upsell
As a Par 3 it is good course for a resort but way overpriced time to play was 1-1/2 hrs.
Fun Par Three Short Course
The goods- course was in good shape. Greens were fast. Fun holes. Nice mix of short, medium, and longer par threes. The 4 person party carts were fun to have everyone riding together. Clubhouse was cool. Bar area and cart girls were great. Cool views of camelback mountain.
The bads - way overpriced for what it is, the pace of play was terrible (actually had to leave after 15 holes to make another engagement that I never would have thought I would've had issues making), I understand there is only a certain amount of land to put this course on but with a lot of holes crammed together and some not so great golfers it is always good to keep a heads up for balls flying everywhere.
Would definitely play it again though.
Wonderful Short Course
This course is an absolute gem. One of my favorites in the Valley.
Awesome experience
A very well ran facility. The greens were consistently fast. Do be prepared for frustration when putting. Breaks are in their that are hard to see. Just because you put it on the green doesn’t mean you have a chance for par or birdie. You may have to putt it vertically 5 ft. If I’m looking for complaints-the tee boxes can have you in not ideal leans. I do recommend you make plans to attend the grill as their food was incredible.
Amazing Staff and Great Course
We couldn’t have asked for a better day or a better round. Superb experience - this is the reason we play golf!!
Great course for quick outing
Played with my wife and kids and had a great time. Super friendly staff, nice course, very forgiving.
