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.

Great short course

Located in central Phoenix this short course, all par 3s offers a fun challenge to test the accuracy of your approach shots and short game.

Greens and course were in good condition, the always friendly staff makes the day enjoyable and the outdoor bar and restaurant make for a great 19th hole experience.

nothing flat

hitting greens on drives is the least of your worries. Doing three putts is outstanding - doing four is frustration but these greens are the ultimate challenge. The most beautiful scenery with Camelback Mountain right there.

Fun track

Fun executive course. Some funky holes which I didn’t love (like the bunker in the middle of a shared green) and you need a PhD to get between a few holes but good value and fun.

Expensive Par 3 course

Expensive par 3 course with great views of camelback and scenery. Greens are diabolical especially on the back. Probably the greenest course I have played and I’ve played a lot of them, but for the value I would stay away. You could almost okay the phonecian, troon north, legen trail, dove valley, lookout mountain or biltmore estates, camelback padre, talking stick and even tpc chanpions for the SAME PRICE IF NOT CHEAPER if you find hot deals. I paid $90 for myself and 6 year old son. They were nice enough to give us a cart for free with bunch of waters. No range and the putting green was under construction so look to start cold turkey

Thank you for joining us and the positive comments on the course conditions. Playing on Friday and Saturday mornings are the highest demand and our dynamic pricing reflects that. Monday thru Thursday and after mid-morning offer better pricing options.

Thank you for playing the Short Course. Most courses in Phoenix aerify greens in early June including us. It takes a couple of weeks to fully recover. They have filled in nicely and ready for the rest of the summer. We hope to see you again soon.
