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.

Great fun!

If you’re looking for great fun, you have to play this par 3 course. Usually play a long grueling course at home but had a great time playing this with my wife. Also great way to improve on your short game.

Fun, but challenging short course

Seems like an easy course, but there are a lot of hills that lead to some huge kicks. Definitely target golf with some challenging putts and pin locations.

Most beautiful Par 3 with most expensive beer lol

I’ve never seen or played a better Par 3 course. I’ve also never paid $46 for a 6-pack of 12oz cans of beer. I literally paid more for beer than the green fees, but thoroughly enjoyed the round anyways. Great view, great people, great time!

Love this course

Mountain Shadows is a great way to start your winter golf vacation after not playing for several months. It’s a beautiful, well-maintained course with very friendly/helpful staff and an excellent 19th hole!

It’s a par 3 but it’s not easy! The greens are extremely challenging . And who doesn’t need work on their short game. We’ll play this courses again!

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.
