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.

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.

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!

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

The golf course was beautiful and in great condition. It was quite hot this day and sadly they did not have a cart lady to bring around drinks/snacks. I don't remember there being a cart lady my previous times either. The pace of the course was great..no one riding our tails and the staff was pretty great too! Overall...I really enjoyed this course!!! But would LOVE it more if they had a drink/food cart!

Very Nice Short Course

Mountain Shadows is an excellent short course with beautiful views. The fairways and greens were in excellent condition. First time my wife has played in a while and she loved it. You can put your driver away and get lots of practice with your irons. Much better than standing in one place at a driving range. There are no food or beverage carts so keep that in mind. They have a nice grill and you can purchase drinks and snacks at the pro shop. I will definitely go back. Very relaxing.

Great course for practicing your short game.

With mostly par 3's, it is a great place to practice your short game. Sounds easy, but the water keeps you on your toes. The course is always in great shape.
