Shadow Ridge Golf Club

Course was in good condition given time of the year. Conditions were very windy and greens were hard which made it much more difficult. A fair share of 460 yard+ Par 4’s from the green tee’s (blue equivalent) which were hard to reach in regulation.

My wife and I really enjoyed the course and the pace of play was good which is important to us.

Nice variety of holes, short and long, some strategy required, undulating greens. Good course conditions, greens hard, putts rolled smooth.

Beautiful course. Lots of character! In very good condition!

Everything was awesome for this time of year particularly green watered fairways. Need a drink cart.

Going in I knew there was course maintenance going on but by aerification I believed it would be just the greens being punched. This was not the case!! - The entire course was basically ripped up including tee boxes. To me this made the entire course unplayable!. I came close to breaking an ankle on a tee shot when my left foot twisted and went down a hole made by the 'aerification'. The aerification is actually creating large gouges (not just punches) . I understand that it is being prepared for qualifiers in August, but really this course should have been closed down until it had recovered.

I know that by August it will be in great shape, but now it is not in playable shape, hence the poor review.

Pretty annoying that we aren’t notified when a course is punched. It makes the whole experience pretty pour

We drove 1.5 hours to Palm Springs to play the course and found out all greens were aerated. If we knew this in advance, I would cancel my tee time and play else where. We paid $76 through Golfnow.com. I would never play this course again.

We paid $76 to play the course today. We drove all the way from OC to celebrate my birthday. However, we were not informed that the all greens were aerated by Golfnow.com. We did not enjoy the round at all. Overall course condition was below average or similar to a muni course or worse. The whole experience was a huge disappointment.

Paided the extra $20 to play at 7:21 instead of 10:00, looking back 10 would have been better, not to the fault of the golf course, but maybe due to tee times. It was extremely windy, Mother Nature is strange but it simmered down after the first hole, what didn’t simmer was the multiple parties of 4 stacked in front of us and the party behind us. Whom tees off 3 minutes after our 7:21 to create the perfect golf sandwhich on a day that was not busy to begin with. Still had fun but would recommend the later booking and was uniformed they just punched the fairways and greens. Served for a bumpy rode

Great course, great staff, great value especially if staying at the resort. One of our groups favorite desert courses.

We really enjoyed this course from the moment we arrived. The front 9 has no houses and fabulous views. We were a group of varied skill levels, 13-32 handicap and we played from different tees and all had a great time.

The layout is fair but also challenging. Great beer in the 19th hole too. Very friendly staff.

Rode the Greens (6621/71.5/130) in 4.5H twilight using Forelinx. Paired with Ed and Heather, we waited on most holes. The weather was in the low 90's, clear and fairly calm.

Fun Nick Faldo design. The landing areas on most par 4 & par 5 tee shots are generous in width. The par 3's offer a good variation in length and look. Two par 4's over 460 from the next to back set of tees. Several risk/reward par 4's that could produce birdies or doubles.

The course has mostly transitioned back to Bermuda for the summer. The tees were mostly lush, with only a couple needing divot attention.

The fairways were semi lush and firm. Well maintained, mowed low, nice to play from.

The rough was mostly lush and just tall enough that the ball sat down enough to usually be punitive. Nice to chip out of.

The green side sand traps were well maintained with good quality white sand. Some fairway traps are waste bunkers & less maintained. Numerous traps on this course are large, deep, and need to be avoided by most amateurs.

The Bermuda greens putted medium fast speed and rolled well. They were firm but held approach shots with some run out. Usually no significant ball marks because of their firmness.

The customer service was good from everyone encountered. Drink cart out and around numerous times. Water stations on the course every couple of holes. Good GPS on the carts. Practice facility is all grass and includes balls with your fee. Recommended.

Easy course to maneuver off the tee. It's the greens where the challenge sets in. Severe undulations, plus traps deep enough that you may need a ladder to get in them. Visuals are solid. The only apprehension was the pace of play. We were near the five-hour mark on the 16th hole, so we left directly.
