Mountain Shadows Golf Course

Every hole is a par 3. Beautuful, well maintained course. Great for practicing your short game. I played by alone later in the day and the starter told me I could play a 4 some by my self meaning I could play 4 balls on every hole.

It’s all new in the old course setting. The BEST EXECUTIVE GOLF COURSE. COSTA a little more than the “old” and worth the price!

The greens were highly terraced. Very abnormal plateaus. Not a way to learn real golf. Might be fun for a non-golfer from the resort but not good practice for a full course.

I have played the course about 14 times,I find

this allows me to concentrate on my iron game

and putting.I have lived in Scottsdale and understand

that peak season finds most courses overbooking

to some degree, this was the worst.

Without going into length, the Resort manager

happen to come out to the compact area near

the 1st tee I asked why xy&z were taking place.

It was the most disrespectful reply with out

curse words one could have heard!

Course looked very nice but every green was Rock Hard. You could not hold any green with any shot. The greens themselves were way overly undulating. There was no way to get near the hole except with luck. It was only worth maybe 1/2 the price I paid. Pace of play much too slow also. Sand traps were in bad shape in that no one ever seemed to rake them out. Skip this one as there are many other better courses out there. Sorry to have to give this bad review.

This is not an easy par 3 golf course.

The greens are protected by huge mounds and bunkers. The desert areas are hard packed sand, so if you miss the grass, your ball will roll out of sight.

The rough was 4 inches thick. The greens very fast with lots of undulations and 4 foot drops in many cases over the length of the greens.

I have a 7 handicap and I've played many challenging golf courses. I thought I liked a challenging golf course. But this golf course wasn't fun for me. I don't know who it will appeal to.

Great place to work on your Short game and certainly plenty challenging. Grass is in great shape as were the bunkers. Staff were very friendly and supportive. Good value for the money.

Short course charging full course money. Hard to navigate your way around. Pin placements were difficult. So many better courses in the area to play for less.

Had fun sharpening my irons on this very beautiful course. Great staff and loved being in the shadow of Camelback.

All but 4 holes you are only hitting irons and

you have 4 different T boxes to hit from.

this allows you to come back again and on

holes that you hit a long iron you can now use a

wedge of different lofts.

The most difficult is putting bring your A game and

practice prior to playing,

Fun par 3 course that was good for tuning up short game. Finished in 3 hours flat despite being held up on the last 3 holes.

Yes, it’s just a par-3 course. Make no mistake, this is a challenging track for any player. If you shoot par here, you’re a real player. Some blind landing areas and tricky greens but great fun and good practice.

Awesome course for a quick game and for practicing your short game. Layout simple with a few water challenges. Pace of play was great and finished in less than 3 hours. Playing again on Sunday!

While we enjoyed the short course very much we were very frustrated with the difficulty of the greens. We were told that they were set up on Tuesdays for a Skin Game for PGA pros! From now on I will avoid Tuesdays

being a par 3 course you are hitting from the

back tees on 3 holes 158 - 189 all of the rest

you will be using 7 irons on up to all types of wedges.

the course was pristine other than the greens as

some still have sand in places. If you miss the

green from the tee box the next shot will not be easy.

If you want to improve your iron play this is the course

to do it on as I have played it 7 times.

I had heard good things about this course. I was very disappointed. Extremely short even for an executive course. Greens are very tricked up to make up for the lack of distance. Add in the fact that every group seems to have a beginner and it was very slow. If you can get a hot deal and you want to practice your (very) short irons have at it. I won’t be going again.
