Mountain Shadows Golf Course
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.

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.
Slow Play
The course is in great shape and the people are very nice. It's expensive for a short course and it's really expensive when you consider we waited at every hole . It took 4 hours to play this short course. At times I felt like I was playing a glorified miniature golf course the way the greens had steep hills. Don't go there to play golf. Go there to have fun.
Mismatched Pricing
The course itself, was well kept and staff were friendly. The setting is great. The price does not match in terms of value for what you get. There are dozens of courses in the area for much less money that are much more appropriate for the price paid. I was charged 167 dollars for a challenging short par 3 course. It was more like playing an exotic miniature golf course. I admit I didn't do enough research to know it was only a par 3 short course but still, the pricing should have been closer to $55 at most. There was nothing extravagant to warrant the incredibly high pricing. For that rate, there should have been a complimentary caddy, free drinks and free food at a minimum. I was not at all impressed because of the extraordinarily high pricing for the round.
Thanks for the nice comments as we strive for good course conditions and a friendly staff. Mountain Shadows is positioned as a nice golf resort with the best views of Camelback Mountain, we just happen to have all Par 3's. Golf pricing is at a fraction of the nice area golf resorts that are well over $250, which we feel the $148+ tax you paid is a fair value for our Par 3 Course. Thank you for joining us.
Mountain Shadows (Beautiful Par 3 Course)
Not your typical short course.
As pretty a course as any in Metro Phoenix.
Don’t expect your typical flat green…par 3’s.
A lot of fun if the right attitude.
A fun par 3 to try
If you are looking to swing the sticks but want a quicker outing Mountain Shadows is perfect. Pleasant surroundings, great staff and surprisingly challenging. Rusty’s offers good food and cold beer with a lovely Mountain Shadows view. A great low intensity outing.
Course was great fun
Staff was great, on course facilities and cart girls were great. For a par three hard to par as the course and greens are all tricky with sand and multi slope greens. Wife loved it, was a lot of fun would play it again!
Glad I gave the course a try.
Beautiful course that is not easy. Sloping and fast greens make every swing necessary to be be struck well. A bit over priced unless one gets a good hot deal. I would play again.
Thank you for the 5 Star review!
Fun course
Beautifully landscaped par 3 course, very much fun to play. Greens are quick with plenty of slope. Great place to work in your short game. Very much enjoyed our day, staff very kind.
Thank you for the 5 Star review.
It’s not worth $104 for a par 3. Course is subpar at best.
Was sucked into playing the course by the proshop, as I wanted to cancel and was told it would the best par 3 course in the US. The greens design was good, but not in food shape. Very expensive, as I could have played very decent full 18 hole course.
Thank you for the feedback and we are sorry you didn't find the same enjoyment in our experience that many guests and residents do. We pride ourselves on being a premier resort and golf course. We just happen to have 18 par 3’s at a fraction of the price of other nice golf resorts. Every green is very unique and most people find it interesting and enjoyable. And we’re at the base of Camelback Mountain with one of the best views in town.
