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.

Nice executive course

Mountain Shadows is a very scenic, fun par 3 course with two short par 4's. You'll get a lot of excellent practice with all of the wedges and plenty of 160 yard shots to pretty small greens. The fairways, traps and greens are all in nice shape. The starter was exceptionally friendly and accommodating. I played in under two hours and hit lots of extra shots. It's just a nice, unpretentious place and provides great short game practice. My girlfriend is a beginner and Mountain Shadows will be perfect for her.

Nice Par-3

Nice Par-3 course in North-Central Phoenix. Would play again if interested in playing a par-3 course. Had some nice views, but also several areas under repair, etc., that changed the course a bit from its intended layout.

Disappointed

Bad experience. Upon arrival, I was informed there would be no beverage cart and that I would need to purchase drinks from the bar so that "I did not die on them." Three different times I was putting, and some other groups ball rolled up on my green. When I reached 14, there were 4 groups at the teebox waiting to hit. I walked off at that point.

Will not be going back...

Something is missing.

Wow, what a great course. However, this course will never be the same. Major demolition was done on the resort. All of the buildings have been removed. All in all, there are still spectacular mountain views from every hole.

Never again.

This course plays like a pitch and putt. All you need is a nine iron and a putter. I was over charged on my credit card !

Great for short game

I played the back tees at just over 3000 yards. My wife played the red ladies tees. We were a twosome and finished in 2 1/2 hours and even waited for the slower twosome ahead of us on a few holes. I usually play a men's league at a nearby course but we wanted a quick round and I wanted to practice my short game. This course delivered on both counts. It's a great course. The greens are not easy but roll true. The staff was great. We had complimentary chips and salsa in the bar afterwards along with margaritas. A great finish to a great day. Definitely will be back. Course conditions are above average and better than some other nearby "championship" courses.
