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 warmup

Took our visitors here for their first round of golf after a rough Winter up North. Great pace of play as we finished 18 holes despite a late afternoon start. Interesting water features on holes 8 , 12 and 13 and great close up views of Camelback mountain. Very friendly and accommodating staff.

This course is very challenging for a par 3 course

The scenery at this course is unbelievable and was worth the extra miles to go there. The course was challenging on some holes and easy on others which made it very interesting. All the workers there were very helpful and polite. Really made us feel very comfortable and welcome. We all plan on going back there again.

Very enjoyable

Staff was great and the course was a lot of fun. Condition of the course was good. Overall- we look forward to our next time. While this is not a real significant comment, I would suggest over the next couple of years an effort be made to flatten the tees. So many of them are rounded. Also, it would have been nice to have range reflectors on the flagpoles so as to render the GPS range finder useful.

Fun Short Course

This course is a great value if you want to work on your short game, are a beginner, or no longer are able to play a regulation-length course. Greens and fairways were in good condition. Bunkers were reasonably placed and always had at least one rake. The par-3s were of a variety of length, which added challenge. Pace of play was much slower than the 3 hrs we had wished for, and the views of Camelback Mtn as a backdrop made the pace more tolerable. Sorry to hear the driving range practice facility is going to be plowed under! Pro shop staff were all friendly and welcoming.

Great scenery and great course to practice your short game.

Wasn't easy to find. Major redevelopment was underway, but was only a tad disruptive on the first hole.

All on all it is a fun course with great mountain scenery.

Great Course

I brought my teenage son to this course. This was only his third time golfing and we had a great time. This a great course for a beginner and has a few challenges to get them thinking. Would highly recommend this course to all people.

Great time

Greeted with a smile and had no worries the entire round. This little gem is perfect for someone that wants a very relaxed round on high quality turf.
I enjoyed every hole and will be thinking of this place as one of my favorites. Be ready to chill and enjoy a nice round with some of the best views in the city.
