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.

This Was Fun!

Par 3 excellence! A fun and challenging round will be had by all. Packed in a small space are lush fairways, tight rolling greens and a true test of your short game and putting abilities.

Course conditions were great and you might stop and take some photos of the spectacular vistas of this course up against a mountain.

Good par 3 in Scottsdale

Nice par 3 course perfect to squeeze in 2.5 hr round. Holes are 80-180 yards with some tricky greens depending on pin placement. Well maintained and courteous staff. Made for a nice well paced afternoon.

Great Short Course

Staff was friendly and very accommodating. It was my birthday that my wife arranged. We both had a wonderful time

And found the Short Couse challenging but fair. Rest assured we will be back again.

Short Game Workout

Hone your short game on this 3 par course. The holes are designed for all levels of play, the greens are slow but undulating so two putts are not automatic. The traps and elevation changes add difficulty to most of the holes. Scenic Camelback mountain is the backdrop throughout the course. Takes about 2.5 hours to complete the round.

Executive Par 3

This is a par 3 course. Interesting but not what we signed up for and quite expensive given what it is. Very slow play,

Challenging par 3’s

This is a nice course to work for n iron play and putting. Don’t think a par 3 could be such a nice course. You might not use a driver but all your irons can be used. We played from the back tees to make it longer and a bit more fun. It was all that and more!

BEST COURSE EVER!!!

Everything was amazing from the carts to the staff and the layout of the course everything was beautifully green and landscaped and mowed perfectly. All the desert landscape around it was amazing. The views are some of the best that I’ve seen in Arizona so far. I played over 1200 games of golf in my life in Arizona this is one of the best looking courses I’ve seen in a long time. I am a Native of Phoenix born and raised 52 years. Highly recommend you play this par three course. If you can hit the green it’s still very challenging greens.

Wonderful

I play a lot of golf in fancy places. This was a “fit in a few in a short amount of time” but it turned out to be the one I am recommending. Great views, interesting holes, some challenge. I’m coming back and bringing friends.

Nice Short Course

Great place to work on the short game. Teed off very early and beat the crowd. I can see this place getting ‘stacked and packed’ easily. Staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. Yes the greens are tricky and you will not have a flat putt on any hole. Accept it and move on. Overall a great spot, but can get pricey.
