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.

The course is a gem tucked in a mature neighborhood at the base of beautiful Camelback Inn
This little gem of a course is nestled in a mature neighborhood at the foot of Camelback Mountain in beautiful Paradise Valley, AZ. For a quick round of 18, enjoy the scenery while practicing your short game.
Good value in scenic surroundings
Course in great condition, playing time was fast, starter was very helpful.
unbelievably beautiful executive course it's a must play
Just awesome course...short but challenging...I will definitely play there again
Executive Course Par 58
I made the reservation at the last minute and got a fantastic rate for the quality of the course. Very friendly staff and pace of play of acceptable. The views of Camelback and Mummy Mountains are the best in Phoenix. The course is well maintained and has many trees and several water features. All in all, a very pleasant experience.
Very nice executive course with beautiful views of Camelback Mountain.
I booked this course for the views and the price on GolfNow. We were not disappointed.
My wife's favorite course
This is a very pretty executive course near Camelback that is easy to play. Almost all par 3's with a couple of exceptions make this a good choice for many people.
Beautiful Short course
What a gem. Great for working on your short game, only two par 4's on course. Greens are fast, but nice. The whole course is in perfect condition. Staff was Excellent.
This is a Hidden Gem
I have played this course before and will absolutely play it again. It is kept in excellent condition, staff is very friendly and they have a nice little golf shop. There were over 200 starts the day we played and only had to wait 5 min or so on a few of the holes.
Compact golf course good for training.
This is not a championship golf course but more a compact golf course. Very good for training and have fun. It is compact but you will have to use all of your golf clubs and some holes are challenging. Very good value for the location in Scottsdale and some scenic views.
I go there to play relax after playing a "monster".
Short, but none the less challenging!
If you look at a 3000 yard course and dismiss it on that merit you're not a real golfer. This course has shot values ranked right up there with the big boys. Playing to small, undulating, and hard/fast greens requires even 99 yard par 3's shot precision if you want to score. Along with the challenging shot values is the ease and quickness of play (we played in 3 hours) and awesome views of nearby Camelback and Mummy mountains. Leave your ego at home and enjoy!
Mountain Shadows
This is a great executive course, challenging and fun.
They have good amenities, older facility but kept very well.
Staff is very friendly and helpful. I'll definitely go back and hope to soon!
Not difficult, but lots of fun
I've played Mountain Shadows several times, and without fail the staff are very friendly and the course is kept in very good condition. It isn't terribly difficult, but the course has enough challenges to make play interesting. When family comes to Scottsdale to visit, that's often where I bring them.
A real challenge for your short irons. Not really an executive course with only one par 4 on each nine.
Course is in very nice condition and the greens were fast and undulating, making it difficult to score well. There's water on a few holes and lots of sand with many pin placements directly behind the bunkers. Definitely a challenge to one's short game and ability to use all wedges. Rate of play was excellent - 2 3/4 hours. One criticism is that many of the tee boxes are too close to the previous greens resulting in having errant tee shots whizzing by while on the tee box.
Excellent scenery and enjoyable course!
Course was in very good condition with excellent greens. Tee boxes need som leveling, but a very enjoyable afternoon of golf and views of Camelback Mtn. on every hole.
can play a round quickly and be back to the office by noon
We enjoy the course and staff. It is close to where we live . And we can play a quick round and be back to our office for most of the day.
COURSE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION
THE EXEC. COURSE IS JUST WHAT IT SAYS AND IT PROVIDE'S EXCELLENT IRON PLAY AND IT'S LOCATED AT THE BASE OF CAMELBACK MT. VERY RELAXING AND CLUB HOUSE LUNCH WAS GREAT.
Poor condition, prime pricing!
I thought the course was in poor condition. The tee boxes were destroyed and none of them were flat. Maybe that is part of the challenge but it was goofy. The greens were just ok, some were pretty beat up.
A couse you could play quick and get good practice. Great for couple play.
I enjoyed the day. The course was in good condition and the play was fast. Was paired with nice people.
Fun Executive
Well maintained course at the base of Camelback Mountain in PV. Lots of par 3's, with some fun, challenging holes in the mix.
Great value.
The setting is very beautiful. The course layout is simple and forgiving so it is good for new players. The staff is very friendly and the green fees are very reasonable. The condition of the course is ok. Unfortunately, the day we played they were running 30 minutes late on tee times and the pace of play was 5+ hours on an EXECUTIVE COURSE. Hopefully, that is not typical.
