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.

Great short course
The condition of the course was excellent. Outstanding short course with views worth a million bucks
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!
Great Short Course
A great course to work on your short game. Staff is very friendly and nice.
New course
Very nice par 3 course to hone the short irons. Thatch layer isn’t quite built up yet so greens are rock hard and fast as ice sheets. Incredible views in paradise valley.
Very disappointed
Before the remodel it was my favorite executive course in the valley. Now I cannot recommend it. Perhaps, after the greens have matured, it will be good practice. Right now, the crews were already scalping and blowing grass and dust, and conditions were terrible.
The greens were rock hard. Fast is good, but hard, fast, and rough is not. The bunkers have good sand.
Unfortunately, the charm of the previous course has been lost. Now it is barren, and not even a pretty walk.
If you interested in giving the course a try, at least wait long enough for the overseeding to come in.
Great place to spend a morning
Beautiful scenic course. Great place to work on your short game but don"t be fooled, the greens are tricky.
New short course layout, great short-game work out.
First time playing since the re-design. No more par 4 holes which was nice. You'll get a great practice session with you mid & short irons.
Excellent conditioned course
This course couldn't have been in better shape. The fairways and greens were top notch.
My concern is that they made the course too easy. Very short 3''s, up to moderately long 3's. There are no par 4's on this course. For a change, I'll come back to this course, but I wish they had left it the way it was
Mountain Shadows
Excellent course to sharpen short game skills. If you can play this course well then you can play almost any other longer course well. This is the first time I have played the re-designed course and while it is similar to the original course it is very well done. I would recommend this course to improve your short game before playing longer courses.
First time since the remodel
I enjoyed the previous layout, but the new design is very challenging and fun. Great place to work on your short game. The greens were a little fast for most pin placement on this day, but nobody said it would be easy. The sand used in the traps is like powdered sugar. The course was very well manicured, and you can't beat the views of Camelback Mountain!
The clubhouse facility was very modern, but not pretentious. Every staff member was extremely courteous and friendly.
Definitely looking forward to my next round here.

Thank you for playing the new Short Course at Mt. Shadows. You joined us while we were prepping for overseeding, which is a two week window and apologize for your experience. The course and greens will be much improved as we reopen in mid October. It is a quick, fun round of golf in a great location. We hope you will give us a try after we reopen.
