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.

Gorgeous fun course

Gorgeous fun course at the base of camelback with breath taking views. Best Time to play is late afternoon the sun setting is gorgeous. Even though it’s a short course it’s challenging which makes it more fun. It is a bit pricey because it’s at a resort.

If you have a chance to play with less time do this course.

A very tricky course

The course wasn’t what we imagined for a par 3 course. It’s a very nice course, with great views, but very challenging.

I was transported to The Clam Bake

Awesome retro vibe. Was looking for Bob and Bing at every turn. Course was in immaculate shape. The yardages are so fun, and conducive to all kinds of bet play. Outdoor services were exceptional. Pro Shop staff could be a little “warmer”. Felt like a bother, asking questions about the course and the merch. Food was of good quality and price. Drinks are stiff. Overall will be back. Had the best time!

Cute Executive Course

Played there 15yrs ago, vastly improved. Confusing transition between 2 holes. Can’t remember the Numbers. We had enjoyable fun time.

Fun but strange course

Course Is in great shape. Very fun but greens made it tough for a par 3. Never saw a sand trap on a green

Thank you for the nice comments. Every green is very different, so lots of variety and you won't get bored. And yes, we have a bunker in the middle of a green. Come check it out.

Thank you for the 5 star review. We're not too far from the airport. So our 3 hour round is also a good choice for your arrival or departure day.

Best course in town

If I could play one course for the rest of my days it would be mountain shadows , once you play there it will be one of your faves, everyone treats you like family from the cart guys to the drink cart ladies, the food is great and the course is very challenging but you can get around in a decent amount of time, everyone I take there has a blast and want to return I never get tired of playing mountain shadows

Fun times at Mountain Shadow; watch for traffic tickets

Great par 3 course that is moderately difficult, well maintained, great staff and a beautiful setting.

Just don't speed or run yellow lights in Paradise Valley. The City's budget relies on traffic tickets to pay their bills evidentially. Their traffic cameras are state of the art!
