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.

Challenging short course

Overall a great course with very fast greens. Only two holes that you will use your driver. Chipping and putting will be the theme of the round. Thanks

Excellent Executive Course

Well maintained course, with some challenging par 3's. Nice facility with pleasant staff.
Good value if you can get a green fee for under $40.

Gem!

what a beautiful little course. Great scenery, great staff,good food and good greens. Only negative is the small sign at the entrance making it a little hard to spot as the course is hidden from view by landscaping . Definitely going back.

A nice public city course

Arrived and had a great check in. No problems, a little surprised that they charged $8 for a bag of range balls. No driver or woods short range. just short irons. Let on time on #1. Pace of play slow but steady, what you would expect on a Sunday on Public course. Refreshment cart came around frequently and the girl was friendly.

The course was nice, but no where did it indicate it was a par 3 course. We were disappointed when we got there it was a par 3 course.

Best Executive play in ARIZONA

I play here several times a year and enjoy it for several reasons. The scenery is spectacular, the coarse is in great condition and it is fun, fun, fun. This coarse has really helped my short game and made me a better golfer.

Not worth the money!

The staff skipped us in favor of members. We booked a tee time and people (members) with later tee times went ahead of us.

snubbed

Three of us drove over from Apache Junction to play the course. We had a 12:10 tee time and were advised by the inside staff that they had made up the frost delay and were back on time. While we waited the starters conspired to move later scheduled groups ahead of us. We got our money back and had a great afternoon of golf at Starfire which I would highly recommend.

Beautiful day on a fun course

We really enjoyed our round, and were fortunate to golf with a terrific gent. Greens are fast, so challenged to pay attention. Hit my best game in this past year. General grounds condition is 8 out of ten.
Snowbirds just arrived, and once again wanted a good 18 hole course to start off our winter season.
Went for late lunch,food was excellent, and we are very fussy. Thank you .
See you again soon.

Excellent Course

The best course I have played in a long time. The course was beautifully manicured. The fairways were tight requiring accuracy. The greens were medium to small, very fast but smooth as glass, very few unrepaired ball marks. Sand traps were well placed and held loose sand that actually played like a sand trap instead of a cement slab. The vistas on the north side of Camelback mountain were awesome. Will play this course again. The personnel were very friendly, helpful and exuded a happy spirit. We were treated like royalty. Great, Great, Great.
