Par 54

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.

Par three

Course was in great shape, excellent for the short game tune-up. Enjoyed playing the course, staff not that inviting. We were not notified when the carts and clubs were ready at the first tee block. Cart return attendant very helpful as it was our first time to Arizona.

We pride ourselves to provide great course conditions. Normal time to play the course is 3 hours, with a slow round reaching 3 hours and 20 minutes. The 5 hour round comment must be a typo.

Nicely maintained course

We've played here before and know what to expect. Course is well groomed. As an excutive course, it is a nice challenge to use a variety of short clubs. We enjoyed playing in a timely fashion and will return.

Tough par 3 course

Very short. Lots of 60 - 80 yard holes. Difficult greens, PGA quality. Only thing missing is a clown mouth and windmills

Always fun but challenging

Course is always in perfect shape. It has great views as you are at the base od Camelback Mountain. For an executive course, it is very challenging. Overall just plain fun. Their patio bar is a great place to grab a beer and sandwich after your round.

Fun Par 3 with nice views

First time playing this par 3. The course was super fun, greens have a lot of slopes that can reward or challenge you! Staff was very friendly. They offer 4 person golf carts which was super cool and fun for our group. We did the “hot deal” on golf now which made it worth it. I don’t think I could spend the “snowbird” pricing of $165 at the regular rate for when we were there. But overall, a fun course to try especially if you are with any golfers that don’t like long rounds or longer holes. Took 3 of us about 2.5 hours to play!

Good Value

Played during Super Bowl week, and we were looking for a lower priced round. Greens were in good shape. some tee boxes good, others need work. If your looking for a lower priced course this one will work for you.
