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 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.

excellent warm up course

We just arrived in AZ from the snowy Eastern US and found this course perfect to warm up our golf prior to playing expensive courses. The course had some interesting holes, nice greens and nice view of mountain in the background.

Great little place.

This is not your average Executive course. Beautiful venue, amazing conditions, and difficult holes. We all loved the place. The pace of play was somewhat slow but it was worth it.

Fabulous value

This course is beautiful and in excellent condition. Staff are very friendly and competent. Bloody Mary's are wonderful. There were two of us and we were paired with a single who is a regular (Marge). She is a doll! They should pay her to golf with guests because she made our round so much fun!

Always a fun course

We have played here several times. Course is short but has some challenging holes. Great 18 holes to play when you don't have all day. There is the opportunity for most mid handicappers to use all the clubs in their bag. Challenging pin placements on Tuesdays. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Great views of Camelback Mountain.

Be careful

Being primarily a par 3 course I should have been done in under 3 hrs. Due to the amount of beginners ahead the pace was glacial! I guess it's the luck of the draw when you tee off. For me, I won't be coming back till "off season" when the crowds should be less. All in all a pretty course with georgeous views.

Challenging par 3's with Camelback Mtn views!

The most challenging executive golf course in Arizona... short game challenges rival any other course you'll play...
So much play that the greens are getting abused and difficult to maintain at a high level of condition. .
The Clubs staff and food quality are very good and enjoyable before and after your round of golf..

Perfect Location

Reasonable price, great place to take out of towners. Accessible for all skill levels as most holes are par 3, iron-worthy (prepare to work on your chipping and sand game.) Beautiful views and friendly staff, every time we golf it we wonder why we don't do it more often.
