Mountain Shadows Golf Course
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.

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.
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.
Simply amazing course
The course the staff the condition ABSOLUTELY AMAZING
Like the Course
I liked the course but the greens were furry, not manicured well and slow.
Just Great
Hit straight or bring your beach blanket. Lightening fast greens. Beautiful Mountain views.
Great little course
This course has something for everyone. It's short but challenging.
Great course
Friendly people
The course is in excellent shape.
Great value
Nice little course
If you want to work on your irons off the tee, this is the course for it. Very nice and well kept course through a lovely neighborhood.
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.
Don't understand
Nice little course. Will play there again sometime.

Too tight
Homes too close. Grass too long. Traps too crusty. Really crammed together.
I love this course. It is my favorite
This golf course is ALWAYS in great condition. I am an average golfer and this course provides the challenge I need.
Beautiful setting.
Loved this course. Everyone so nice. Conditions were great. Would play there anytime.
Well groomed Course
I have to say, Ive played this course a few times now and I enjoy it every time. For an executive course it's quite challenging and very well kept - from fairways to greens its a pleasure to play.
Really Great Time
Mtn Shadows exec 18 is in tremendous shape. A great play to play if you're looking to sharpen up your short game, and play 18 holes at a good place. The staff is very friendly. Overall one of the best golf experiences I've had since the summer began. Can't wait to go back and play it again!
beautiful short course
Well kept course, wonderful setting and views.
Pace of play very slow, waiting on every fee box.
nice little executive course
Despite recent overseeding the course was in very nice shape. Well maintained and although fairly short, the small greens and bunkers challenge you to hit it straight. Nice mountain views. The houses are pretty tight to the course though. Very enjoyable.

Nice course for beginners. No drink cart, but they do provide coolers and ice for drinks.
