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 for pictures but terrible play

More like a glorified mini putt to be honest. Good for teens learning, old seniors and as a staff member said drunken bachelor parties. The green are taken care of but it is a real short course with silly hills and slopes. There is a duck pond and someone had a kayak there for it so it's not at all a good game of golf. The restaurant didnt get my order right but it was okay food. So to sum up, it it looks good, but it wasn't like playing a real round.

You Have To Play This Course!

I made the mistake of making a birdie on the first hole of this course long on my bucket list. What followed was a remarkable thrill ride set against remarkable views of Camelback Mountain and the adjacent landscape. The greens were a handful, but rolled like the best courses in the area. Challenging lengths and pristine bunkers provided a true test. I waited over five years to play this course during Winter trips to the Valley. My return will be much sooner! Great value. Friendly staff. Terrific amenities.

A great day of golf

I was not sure about booking a par 3 course. Very excited when we arrived, everyone was welcoming and friendly. The course is in superb condition and allows a variety of holes, no 2 are the same

**Not Walking Only!!** They Have Carts

Course description is inaccurate as they DO now have golf carts, so don't let that dissuade you. The course was in great shape(late February, 2024). Very nice par 54 layout with some small, challenging greens and pin placements. I cannot comment on pace of play as I was the second group out(as a single behind a twosome) and I chose to play three individual balls and not crowd the couple ahead of me. Guy behind me was doing the same thing but was 2 holes back. When I finished, there were lots of folks on the putting green waiting to get out. This is a great course to play money games on, but my hunch is that because a lot of people seemed to be waiting to be called to the first tee to do just that, the pace of play is likely on the slower side during peak hours. Staff was mostly attentive and friendly save one....no big deal, he just seemed aloof.
