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.

short course
I wish they would have specified short course in the title. It was a boring round and I was embarrassed I took a guest. It’s a decent course for kids to practice irons that’s about it.
Nice views
Fun course as long a you dont take it seriously. Lots of undulations and mounds.arround green so u&d are not easy. Greens in great shape and roll true
Disappointed
Didn’t know it was an all par 3 course . Most were very short holes Seth gimmicky greens. Will not play again
Executive course is referenced in the description and thank you for your feedback. We are sorry you didn’t find the same enjoyment in our facility that many guests and residents do. The game of golf is ever-changing and we believe we have a fun, unique product that allows players of all skill levels to enjoy a golf round, in a stunning location with a wide variety of shots and putting challenges. We are sorry you do not find the same level of enjoyment.
Exec course
Only played 9 thunderstorms and got off course for fear of getting struck by lightning. Did not sound any alarm and would not give rain check for other nine.
Thank you for joining us. If you contact the golf shop and golf director, we will make amends for the rainy day snafu.
Great Challenge!
Great course! Challenging greens! Great place to practice short game! Beautiful views! I thought they would have a range but they did not.
Excellent EH!!!
Canadian visit to Phoenix was great! This course was our highlight to our trip. We will be back to stay at this resort. Cannot wait to come back. Giddddeee Up!!!
Not Your Average Short Course
This is a challenging course. The greens are very challenging to say the least. Lots of short holes but everyone is challenging.
Thank you for the feedback. You won't be bored and the view is stunning.
Challenging greens, lots of fun
This par 3 course was very well maintained & fun. The length varied at each hole. The challenge was in the greens. Never seen so many slopes, undulations, and even a sand trap in the middle of a double green. Even if your manage all greenies, don't expect many 1-putts! Would play it again.
Thank you for the 5 star review. We hope to see you again soon.
Very fun course! Amazing views and very walkable.
This is a super fun, 18 hole, all par 3 course. The views are some of the best you will find in the valley. The holes are fun and if you miss, you can find yourself with a double or triple easily. I am a 10 index and shot 3 over on the front and 8 over on the back. I got myself into trouble on the last 3-4 holes. I played with two super nice people visiting from MN. The pace of play was pretty slow. I think we played in 3.5 hours and the staff was very apologetic. The weather was so nice and the people I played with were great so the pace didn't bother me. I would highly recommend walking. Enjoyable walk. The staff was extremely nice! I would very much recommend the course to a friend.
Thank you for the nice comments. The pace of play is normally just over 3 hours on a busy day. We apologize we were a little over that, but still much faster than a busy regulation course.
Iron play will be tested.
Course in great shape. Severely undulating greens. You won’t hit a driver but precise iron play required. Food snd drink in the restaurant was excellent with outdoor seating.
Wonderful little course
Fun course to play an in excellent condition. You are surrounded by the mountain and be sure to be on the good place on the green with your ball.... or you will pay the price :-)
Thank you for the feedback. We offer a fun and fast round of golf with the best views in town.
Challenging Greens
Tee to green the course is relatively benign. However once you get on the greens the undulations will bring a grown man to tears. If you think a par 3 course playing 2300 yards is for beginners you are completely wrong. The greens are the most difficult I have ever played.
Thank you for the 5 star review. Both new golfers and experienced golfers have enjoyed the fun and fast round. We hope to see you again soon.
Very Nice Short Course
Course was in excellent shape. These greens are the hardest in the area!
Thank you for joining us and hope to see you again soon.
Course in excellent condition
Excellent course to tune up your approach and short game. Greens are very tricky but fair.
Thank you for the 5 star review.
