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 challenging course with awesome views!

We play this course periodically and always enjoy it. The fairways are narrow so target shooting is definately a goal.

Garden par 3

Really enjoyed this little par 3 course. It also had 2 short par 4's. Great facility to sharpen up your short game. The course was very cozy, set against Camel Back Mtn. A little brook ran through the back 9 that really made the visual. I saw at least a dozen rabbits that didn't hop off until two or three feet away. A couple of holes over water didn't get into my head as much as other courses because of the calming effect of the scenery. Grass was lush, water was clear and clean, and greens properly maintained. Will play this course many times to come! Good show, Marriott!

Small Course Big Appeal

I've played Mountain Shadows several times and always enjoy the course and the staff. Typically a lesser price than other courses during high season but never disappointing. The course was in great shape and although it is small, it has it's tough shots. A great pace that lets you key in on your short game.

Beautiful course

First time playing here and right off the bat we hit the putting green only to be putting next to Larry Fitzgerald and Patrick Peterson of the Cardinals, once we got going it was a totally fun and relaxing time with an amazing view. Very easy to play with amazingly fast greens.

Greens were perfect and fast.

One day they'll level the tee boxes a bit more.

Incredibly small and tight course!

Not only is this course incredibly slow with retirees, but you need to be constantly aware of balls flying at you and over your head! This course is ok if your aware of all of this before booking! Id say this is more of a par 3 course, since 90% of the 18 holes are in fact, par 3. The clubhouse is very dated and overdue for renovations. Id say the best part of playing this course, is the stunning mountain views and scenery. Just my honest opinion.

Really enjoyable round of golf...

This golf course is a compact wonder. It just is a fun couple of hours using almost every club in your bag.

Beautiful surroundings and nothing but dark green grass on every fairway. The greens were great, but a bit too hard for my high lob shots to stay on.

You have to try this course at least once.

Any Joe Cool would love to play here!

I love the rock and roll music playing in the bag drop area, it's what keeps me coming back!! It's not hard rock or anything that would give you a headache, it's just great oldies that gets you in the mood to golf. The holes are in great condition and helps you practice your short iron shots. The views are stupendous and the staff is "the Bomb" I would play here everyday if I could :o)

Beautiful executive course - centrally located. A+

My wife and I always enjoy playing Mountain Shadows. It's close to home, very nicely maintained and a great way to get in a short 18 holes in less than 3 hours. There are some really fun holes, including a few over water. It's a terrific place to practice your short game, or when you don't have time to play a full course.
