Type Resort
Style Executive
Par 54
Length 2310 yards
Slope 91
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.

Like your own private course!

Uniquely designed 18 holes but shrunk down so you can play without a driver. I did use mine on two of the holes. Nice greens with wicked pin placement and just a little water made this round exceptional! Great place to work on your short game but so much than an executive course. Love this place! Food was a little pricey but really nice restaurant, too.

Great short game course

First time in 2 years. I had a hard time finding the course because of the new developments. Clubhouse was beautiful and staff was friendly. They took away the par 4s and shortened the course. I actually had a hole in one on the 17th. Definitely will come again.

Great Remodel Project

I played this course years ago and it was an ok round, but since their remodel and attention to detail, this executive course is an awesome hidden gem.

The course was in great shape, and the greens were a welcomed challenge for an executive course.

Book here, work on your iron, wedge and short game, and most of all......enjoy!!!

Grass

The grass was long when not in fairway. The system they have to drop off clubs and pick them up is weird.

Very short tight course

Played this before the “remodel” and was anxious to play it since completion. Interesting course, some very short holes, however, greens were very challenging. We enjoyed playing the course, not sure how many times will play it again but it was a fun day. Feels a little clostrophic to me on some holes, it was a hot day and property’s are in very close proximity to the course.

A must play

Excellent golf course for tuning up your short game and for playing as a couple. My wife totally enjoyed the day as did I. Will definitely play many more times.

Thank you also to the wonderful staff...from arrival, to check in, the cart service, to departure. Well done.

Executive Course Excellently Executed!

This course offers a great opportunity to hone your short game skills. Reasonably challenging, well-balanced, undulating greens. A very good value for the money, and a far better than average par 3 course.

Great Par 3 Course

This is the first time I've played Mountain Shadows since its major renovations. The course is really short - no holes more than say 150 yds. Course is beautifully maintained, play is fast, and the experience pleasant. I booked here because I am getting back into golf after a year hiatus.

If you like par 3 golf or need to re-introduce yourself to the game this is the course for you!

Gorgeous views!

Don't think that this is your typical par 3 course. The holes may look easy but you should know your game. The views were stunning and the course played very well. First time ever experiencing a special 'bonus' hole. Go play!
