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.

Sweet par 3
I was in town for a quick visit and was able to sneak in a round. What a pleasant treat! Staff was very friendly and helpful as this was my first time here. Course is in great condition and the surrounding views are beautiful! A very relaxing round. Looking forward to my next visit!
Par 3 Challenge
You better know your clubs when playing here. I brought a friend who is low a handicap player and by the 7th hole the golfer excuses started LOL!!! Awesome course and try out your short game!
Bring your putter A game - wow - challenging.
So much fun for a 90 minute round of golf
Practice iron play here!
Now that I have played this par 3 course I will come play here instead of going to driving range!
Nice layout!
Long and short par 3 yardage!
Highly recommend!!!
Mountain Shadows Review
Great course to work on your short game. Course layout and elevational changes made for a challenge but made it a lot of fun to play. Beautiful scenery on all 18 holes.
One of those over hyped courses.
Not worth the money. Good if the only purpose is to practice the short game. Cart girl interrupted one shot so I would move my cart. The course was empty, not sure of her rush.
Hidden Gem in PV
Fun course to play, always a good time with great staff. The par 54 isn’t too long for a hot day and the greens keep it challenging. A little pricey in the summer months, but allows for faster pace of play with less people
Summer round
Nice par 3 course that’s we’ll kept all year round, expected a few rough spots with the hot weather but overall in really good shape, greens weren’t too fast and prob slight wet as we tee off at 7am.
Finished up around 10 and it was hot and sweaty by then. Prices a lot lower in summer and great to get out early mornings on this course
Attention
This course has 18 par 3 holes. This is not clear on the homepage. Tee-Boxes in miserable condition, the greens as well. On some holes a lob wedge is too long. Far too expensive for "mini golf".
Punched greens on a par 3!
First I did not realize this was a par 3 course, my bad, did not read the stats closely, just needed a round quickly in the Scottsdale area. I debated playing it once I arrived because 85 bucks is a lot for me. My playing partner was really wanting to get a break and play, so I decided to go ahead. BUT once on the course to have the greens bumpy as the moon's surface was so disappointing. We had a good time and shared a drink at the 19 hole but the golf was awful, par 3's are about the putting but at this time for this money - forget about it.
Thank you for your feedback and apologize we didn't meet your expectations. We aerified greens June 14th. There is plenty of grass on the greens, have recovered and rolling nicely. We're pleased with our transition from winter to summer grass.
summer condition
Course is usually great but $50 to play this place in the summer is a rip off, course is in bad condition right now. Play in the winter.
Thank you for your feedback. We aerified greens a few days ago. There is plenty of grass on the greens and are recovering nicely. We're pleased with our transition from winter to summer grass.
Great Iron play
We decide to make our first round of golf short. Since we just flew in. This is a great course to play in around 2 hours and get your irons working.
Totally would stop here again.
Also the restaurant had great service and good food.

It's understood that not everyone enjoys Par 3 golf. Greens were aerified in mid June and have recovered nicely. No, greens are not at winter putting speeds, but plenty of grass on the course. Thank you for your feedback.
