Our new "go to" course

Due to the great track and excellent course conditions, Shadow Hills South is our current "go to" course when we visit Indio area each spring. Very impressed with course, facilities, and staff AND the vistas are beautiful too.

Nice course. Fast greens, slow play due to overbooking. Lots of waiting

Like the course. Did not enjoy round much since extremely overbooked. Started 25 _ 30 minutes late with back up already on 1st tee. Waited to play each shot for most of the round. Not good for enjoyment of a paced round

Great track but slow

A very fun and fair course that gets more challenging depending on the tees you choose to play. Greens were very fast but ran true.

I have experienced slow play at this course before

I have experienced slow play at this course before, but not to this extent. I understand there are many seniors and new or less skilled players on the course. But pace of play should be recognized, by players and course Marshall, who is not to be seen past the 1st hole. It took us 3 hours to complete 10 holes. At that points we drove back to the clubhouse. There were 4 groups on 10 when we played and 4 groups on10 when we drove back to the clubhouse. We were looking at 5 hours to finish. Please address this situation, Player assistance need to get people moving. I will be looking at other options

So slow

I am sorry but when it takes 2 hours to play the first 6 holes that kind of ruins a round. We waited on every hole there was three groups waiting to tee off at end of round. People were just quiting saying they ran out of time. Four groups on a par 5! They need marshals it is so cheap to keep the pace up but you have to do right from the start of day. I won’t go back until they have marshals

Fun/fair place to play

We played and the tees, fairways , greens, and traps in great shape. Rest of the place is brown and relatively unmanned by grounds people. Wind makes this place tough but think it’s a bargain if you play after 2 and can Finnish.

Pace of play

We had a tee time of 12;00 noon. We finished the 6th hole at 2pm, yes 2 hours to play 6 holes! It was wait on every hole sometimes we had 2 groups waiting behind us as we waited on the tee box. Until they marshal this course and keep the players moving I would try somewhere else. It took 5 hours and 15 minutes to finish the round, which I think is about an hour too long. Having to wait at every hole is uncalled for. Have a marshal and give him free golf it is a cheap way to keep folks happy and enjoy the game. We had four groups on a par 5. Nice course but the 8 minute intervals are too close if they are not going to keep folks moving.
