Mountain Shadows Golf Course
About
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.

My summer oasis. Great shape!
These guys didn't take the summer off. Great condition of the entire course, and the greens are even nice. Lots of deals and promotions, check the website, its a good one.
Fun little course
My wife and I play Mountain Shadows almost once a week, it
Is her favorite course. We love the staff there, they are always friendly. The course is always in beautiful shape, with some of the best views of camelback mountain you can get.
This course has great features
This is the second time I played this course and enjoyed it both times. It has some chaallenging holes and scenery is great.
4th of July
Great short course great view of camel back mountin
great time
the course was well maintained and was a great golf experience
Great place to work on your irons.
Mountain Shadows is an excellent executive course that lies in the shadow of Camelback Mountain, right in the heart of Paradise Valley. It's a great short course, full of strong par3s that always have really challenging pin placements. The course was in great shape when I played this summer, including the tee boxes, the fringe, whatever fairways there are, and the greens weren't that bad at all. The rates plummet when the Arizona heat kicks in, so take advantage while you can, shooting par here would be very impressive. It's well maintained and the views in the heart of PV are conducive to a solid mind state, it's just a great place to work on your game,
A wonderful gem!
Not a long course...executive in length...but just beautiful. Greens were nice and fairways were also. Not very busy so we played quickly on a hot day. Loved the mountain backdrops on some shots. A real good chance to work on your iron game. A great deal for the dollar.
Beautiful and fun layout!
A very beautiful and short course. Gives you a great chance to work on your iron game and enjoy a putting challenge on each green. Definitely worth the play...sailed around in just over 3 hours...no waiting. Will be back again.
Super short game challenge
Charming executive course which winds through the Paradise Valley neighborhood. 2 par 4.s and lots of challening par 3's. I played in under 2 hours without braking a sweat,
Beautiful course!
I had a great time playing at this course. The only downside is the really expensive houses near the course.
Greatness again...
This is still one of the best value rates around - grass is kept great, greens are well maintained, rate is acceptable, length is lacking but green difficulty offers a challenge that should keep you coming back for more!
Great course for a skins game!
Very well maintained shorty course. Greens roll great and has a good variety of par 3 distances off the tee. Almost made a hole in one on the fly today... sorry about the chunk outta the cup.
Excellent course condition!
I played with a 7:00 AM tee time. Some of my observations.
Pros:
-Pristine condition. The grass was thick and green, bunkers were dry and fluffy, greens were beautiful and rolled true.
-Good challenge. This is an executive course but the Par 3's had some well placed bunkers and long holes to make it interesting.
-Excellent water holes. There is a portion of the course built around a series of ponds and a creek. Truly beautiful and relaxing.
-The views. The red rocks of Camelback Mountain loom over the south facing holes. It is breathtaking. The rugged beauty of the Phoenix mountains face the north and west.
-Value. I was able to get an amazing deal on this course through Golfnow.
Cons:
-The only thing I can think of is the attendant on the last hole cleaned our clubs without asking first which could present an awkward situation for some people.
My round here was extremely relaxing and pleasant. I highly recommend!
You have to make the shots to score
Nice executive style layout. The course was in very nice condition the day I played considering the 100+ degree days preceding my visit. Staff was friendly and helpful. You really have to make your shots here as the protecting bunkers around the greens can capture many tee shots. Sand in the bunkers was a little heavy due to course watering but i found the feel shortly. Nice experience all around...
nice and quick on a blistering hot day
A beverage cart would have been nice. One of the geese had a bad leg and needed medical attention. Too much bark laying around the greens. The greens were great. The overall condition of the course was great.
She is a tight one.
I hadn't played in a few weeks so I figured an executive course would be a fun way to knock the rust off. Mountain Shadows was a really good value for a picturesque course. I'm not sure what is going on at that resort, I heard mention of bankruptcy but I don't think it would take much with that location and course to make it profitable again.
I excepted it to be short but I wasn't expecting to tee off with a 9 iron on 15/18 holes. You could probably play the course with 4 or less clubs and be alright. Even with a very modest yardage this course was not easy. The holes were packed in there tight and tee boxes were all within spitting distance of the previous green. That lead to some frustrating shots that felt/looked good but ended up out of play. Don't play this course for the final score but instead to fine tune your short game.
course was good and fun.....
course condition was good and challenge...... also it was good price for rounding...
anyway good course...
