No Marshall monitoring

Slow players (even if they’re members) should allow faster players (especially if 2some only behind them) to play ahead. Management and “members” should bear in mind that other players paid also for their game! Otherwise, the club should just limit this course to their members. Make it exclusive and not offer to the public!

Nice day, slow play.

Pretty course. Good shape. Basic design.

They desperately need to have Marshall’s out enforcing pace of play.

Shadow Hills South Course

The course was overbooked. They had us off more than a half hour later and starting from the 10th hole. The last few holes were not playable due to darkness. Disappointing.

The course was in very nice condition. Lots of sand and a bit challenging. We would recommend play here.

***One of us left a ball retriever at one of the greens and it was not turned in as of the following day. 😏

very nice course

Only got 15 in due to a 1:30 tee time. Pace of play was a little slow, but course was in great shape. Fast greens, nice fairways and tee boxes. Definitely recommend.

Disappointing staff

Simply put, booked an early afternoon time on golfnow, arrived at course about 45-60 minutes before tee time, checked - in with starter as instructed by office, but the

for some reason we were not called at or near our tee-time even though we were close by. After waiting some time past our starting time and with still no sign of a starter we checked in at the front office and were told, oh you should have been sent out a long time ago but the starter left awhile ago, like well before our tine so that's too bad you missed your time. So we waited around some more but still no starter, so went back to where they were storing the carts and asked someone there what's going on, and they said we could go ahead and play, which we did but by this time there were several groups ahead of us with tee-times 30 min or more atter ours it was now midafternoon and we were only able to complete 9 holes before dark, even though we had paid for 18 holes, and with our original tee time of 1:45 pm could have completed our round or almost depending on the pace of play. Very disappointed!

Very Slown play

Almost perfect except that nobody was monitoring the slow players. Or, maybe remind players of the pace before the game. Let through players ahead if they were slow.

We almost didn’t finish the game.

Great Time!

Nice staff and course was in good condition after re-seeding for the fall. Due to early sunset in LaQuinta area we were chasing sunlight. Absolutely a ghost town when. we got finished. no food/bev options at the end. Gotta say that is was an absolute blast to play here though

Pleasant surprise

Had a nice round at Shadow Hills. Course was in great shape after the over seed. In fact, it was even wet in spots to keep the grass up to snuff. Tough greens with lots of shelves and fall offs. Had a blast playing in right up to dark

Great staff at a great course!

First time playing Shadow Hills South. We found a great price ($55) for an afternoon tee time (1:30 pm) knowing that we could not finish the round and treated it more as a 9-hole experience. As it ended up, we were able to play 13 holes and really enjoyed the course ... what a great find. But what made it even a more enjoyable round was the staff. Guys in the pro shop were very friendly. The starter was even better, arranging for us to go out 15 minutes early. But the most revealing part of our experience came when the starter learned that my wife had recently tore a muscle in her shoulder and couldn't play ... so he arranged for us to get a rain check and then she was still allowed to ride along with myself and the other couple playing with us. How nice! Before our round we had a beer at the outside small cafe ... very nice and very reasonable. After our round we noticed that the restaurant was very busy and went by to check it out. It was a Monday Night Football event with specials. We couldn't stay, but it certainly looked like a good spot. Bottom line ... great course (challenging, but fair) in great condition run by some very friendly and helpful staff who wanted us to enjoy our experience. We already have booked a future round!

Great course but not great staff

This course is a pleasure to play as it has a great layout and is quite challenging. However, unless you are a member or are familiar to the staff, they are not very friendly.. I've played this course a few times and this is pretty much what I've come to expect.

Course conditions were quite good considering it recently re-opened after over-seeding. It will be excellent in a few weeks. Carts had to remain on the cart path at all times and greens were slow but that was to be expected.
