Rating 57.0

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.

Short but not easy

Could have played quicker but the pace was set by those in front. Pick your clubs carefully as target is the challenge and long could be into the next tee box - it is a compact layout. Greens roll true and make you work to drop it in - no give me's here. We had a fun day and enjoyed the challenge of this shorter course. Bring your short game and leave the driver at home.

A scenic course surrounded by homes. Bring your short game or hone your short game at this course.

Alot of short holes . 75 to 130 yards. Well maintained but used heavily. Your ability to focus on the shot is crucial on this course, Tight spacing of the holes and a fair amount of activety( maintenance crews and other golfers).

A REALLY GREAT EXECUTIVE COURSE. THE BEST I HAVE PLAYED.

THE COURSE IS TIGHT. ACCURACY VERY IMPORTANT. GREENS ARE FIRM AND VERY FAST. COURSE MANAGEMENT IS VERY IMPORTANT, ESPECIALLY WITH SHOTS ONTO THE GREENS IF YOU MISS ON YOUR TEE SHOT. GREAT WEDGE AND PUTTING PRACTICE. YOU WILL BE CHALLENGED!

short but challenging from back tees

this course is a good change of pace.small elevated greens make it a challenge$15 golf now greens fee made it worth the while.One negative is that it is an executive course and some of the players have no clue as to where they are or what they are doing.plum bobbing a put for 8 on a par 3 is hard to take

Best short course in town

This is the best exec course in Phoenix. Great conditions, greens were fast and smooth. Played in 2 1/2 hours on a Saturday at 11:30 tee time. Loved it, not a full length course, but if you are considering a short course, this is your best bet.

What a delightful gem

I was very pleasantly surprised to find this little gem in the desert. The staff was very friendly and got me out on the course early. This is a short Executive course, but an excellent challenge to the irons with many postage stamp, tough pin placement greens. The beautiful mountain scenery and well maintained grounds made the experient quite a delight!! I will definately return!!!

Nice setting

This course has beautiful views and is well maintained. Some holes are a little too short, like the 18th, but not much can be done about that. Maybe it was because we aren't regulars, but we sure didn't feel too welcome, and while there was no one in sight to play we had to wait for a missing starter that didn't show. They finally let us play, but it seemed a little odd. To sum things up, its a shorter course that is pretty nice, but we felt unwelcome. We golf often and were properly dressed, so that wasn't the problem!

All the features were great or almost great!!!

We so enjoy playing at this beautiful executive course. One of the best I have ever played. I am not an advanced golfer, but I feel good when I play there and practice my game in such a beautiful course and surrounding mountains.

The crew is the friendliest I have yet to meet in the Valley, as well. It is always a pleasurable experience!!
