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 course for 10 holes and then we rained out. Cold and raine
Wish we could get a rain check for 9 or 18 holes. Because we rained out after 9. Hope to play it again. We are here for 20 days. Weather looks good after today.
Beautiful course.
