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.

I Love this place
I hope the course, pricing and staff stay as great as they are. I always recommend this course! It's awesome!
Fun and Challenging Exec Course
My wife, a beginner, and I, a 14 handicapper, both enjoyed playing Mountain Shadows. The course is fun and challenging. It is also well maintained. The views of Camelback are beautiful. We will play there again.
Best way to get 18 in after work...
Book a 13 dollar summer rate on here, head over around 4 or 5, and get 18 in in about 2.5 hrs.
Its well maintained, has some picturesque holes.
Only 2 complaints:
Theres a closed run down apt complex around 1 and 18 that is kind of creepy. I assume itll be demo'd soon.
Even from back tees, most of the holes are a little short and itd be nice to have more than two par4s.
Great for short game work.
Price great. Good course to work on short game. Fun and fast rounds.
Great shape, nice greens.
My daughter and I booked the round for the low price offered. It was well worth it. As suggested by other comments we played from the back tees. The front tees make the course too short. The holes were challenging when the greens were missed. The views of Camelback or Mummy mountain on every hole are incredible. Jeff in the clubhouse was very cordial and offered us plenty of tips to the course. We played at a normal pace, were never rushed, and finished in 2.5 hours.
Beautiful Course
In my opinion you will not find a better par 3 course in phoenix.
The price is outstanding the facility is amazing and the staff is helpful and never rude. It features very nice water and sand hazards. It is also a great course for beginners as it offers plenty of practice for your short game.
Great course!
Certainly the best executive course in this area and maybe one of the best in the country.
super fun par3 course
First time playing Mountain Shadows,what a fun course. Leave your driver at home for this one. Conditions were great,pace of play was a non issue we were the only players on the course. The scenery was fantastic. Rene in the bar was a delight.
steady pace
good layout,great tune up for short games,need to adjust yardage,and need to put better sands in the bunkers
Great Short course
Best short course ever played. Excellent conditions, beautiful setting, use every iron in the bag. Tight rolly greens. A must play in Scottsdale. Great value.
Nice executive course with great mountain views
Great experience. Nice course to practice your short game.
Surprise Package
At par 56 you would think this would be a push over but this 18 hole course in Paradise Valley is cleverly laid out, quite technical and a good test of iron play. The greens are in superb condition and mostly the fairways are well maintained. There are plenty of bunkers to challenge even the single figure handicapper. The only negative would be four overly short holes,10,11,13,and 18 all of which could be improved with utilizing the black tees for all players. Holes 8 and 9 could likewise be improved.
Great prices also makes this course superb value for money.
Well maintained and beautiful scenery
Mountain Shadows is a great executive course. Challenging but you can play at a fast pace. The background scenery can't be beat.
My favorite executive course here in Phoenix.
First time at this course
This is a tough little course,and fun to play, pace of play was some what long due to foursome not letting faster players go through and foursome should know to let faster players go through.
It may be short, but it's not easy.
A nice course, with pleasant surroundings, but: the greens are small, hard, and fast. Have fun!
Best value especially for beginners!
For someone just starting out, this course is the best I've played at. Very well maintained and friendly staff. Great location in Paradise Valley!
Short but challenging
A beautiful golf course with Camelback Mountain as a back drop. This par three course is short, but offers challenges on every hole. Great for those just learning the game but also a lot of fun for the more experienced golfer. Bring your short game, because if you don't you may need a calculator to add the strokes that can pile on quickly. The greens are small, fast, and surrounded by bunkers.
Only complaint...an over zealous Field Marshall who is constantly grumpy and complains about pace of play eventhough you maybe standing on the tee box waiting for the group to putt out in front of you.
That said I will continue to play this course on a regular basis.
Short but not easy
Perfect exec course. 16 par 3's, two par 4's, very tough greens (undulating and fast and often multi-tiered and hard to read). Didn't quite use every club in the bag, as other reviewers have suggested, because the two holes long enough for driver were also very narrow in the landing zone, making a 3-metal my choice. Other than the driver thing, it's like a full-length course in terms of features, facilities, and the atmosphere. Camelback Mountain is a constant presence overlooking the course. It's not a desert course or target golf - other than the narrow landing areas and the ubiquitous (and well kept) hazards left and right of each green. The round took just over three hours. Do bring some extra balls - there are thick bushes bordering a number of holes that will eat missed shots... and the course moves so fast that it seems a shame to hold up other people looking for a little white ball.
This course is overpriced for an 18 hole executive course in this condition in April in Arizona
The staff inside the clubhouse and on the course is very helpful and friendly; many of the tee boxes were not wide enough or level enough; the fairways were well-maintained; many of the greens, especially on the back nine, were extremely hard and too fast; several of the holes are much too short at yardages of only 80 to 120 yards; over 18 holes the beverage cart visited us only one time, on the 15th hole.
Pleasantly surprised at the course condition...
Took my grandson and we were very impressed with the course condition overall, but especially the greens. Fast... found the course challenging and can't wait to play again.
