Mountain Shadows Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
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.

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.
Great to play in beautiful views
This course is a Par 3 course. That being said the holes are interesting and very well kept. If you want to get a quick 18 holes in (1.5 hours) and still have a challenge with value for money ($15) then this course is for you.
Great short course
Great short course with spectacular views amd friendly staff
EXECUTIVE GOLF COURSE
WHEN I RESERVE I DONT SEE THAT AN EXECUTIVE GOLF COURSE
BUT I PALY WITH PLEASURE THIS GOLF COURSE
THE PAR 3 ARE VERY CHALLENGING
Good Game
The course was in great shape. The pace of play was perfect. The employees were excellent.
It's a Par 3 Course!
I didn't realize that the course was a Par 3 course with 2 holes that are Par 4's. The course was in ok shape, but the tee boxes have mounds so it's not ideal or how a tee box should be. The other complaint is the tee boxes are located super close to the previous holes green. Make sure you have your "Fore" yell ready.
nice place
Love playing this course. The staff is always nice. My playing partners are too.
Fun & Challenging
For some reason I couldn't get the marker to drag where I wanted. On balance we enjoyed the course. Good condition, attractive course. We were rusty coming from Minnesota with no golf since October, but we loved Mountain Shadows!
Challenging resort executive course
A picturesque exectuive course very close to Camelback mountain. NIce views! A fairly tight layout with undulating grees and lots of bunkers. A great place to work on your short game. Only one par 4 on each 9 but the 17 hole is a 240 yard par 3 from the long tees. A few holes play to island greens over water.
Great greens, great variation of holes, great setting
Everything was great, except pace of play was very slow, no marshalls.
Lots of fun, fast round, very good shape 4 stars
We had a great day on the Mt Shadows golf course, the green are firm and fast, the layout and distance of the holes keep us in the game. I would have given them five stars but the teeing ground from the back tees needs a little help, can you say mounded, bumpy, eneven you get the picture. One other item that would be nice is reflectors on the pins, lazer had a tough time picking up the pin distances.
Great course to work on your irons and challenging enough for any player
Sorry, couldn't t get the bars above to move. The staff was very friendly and the course was in great condition. We had a very nice time and plan on coming back and bringing friends with us. We thought it was good value for the money paid.
