Shadow Ridge Golf Club

Course was in great shape. Greens in good condition. Challenging, fun, lots of bunkers. Good test. Great value would play again!

I had the chance to play several high end courses in the area and I loved this one the most. The design and conditions were perfect!

First off, I played in the summer so greens were not in great shape. They had recently been punched and sanded so it’s unfair to rate them too harshly. I love the bunkering and options you have off the tee. Not an overly difficult course, but fair with very gettable par 5s and a few really tough par 4s and some nice par 3’s. Overall, fun course, nice amenities, great practice area, and good bar. I would say it’s worth playing.

We play here every year and always love it . This year it was very slow because of a foursome in front of us the ranger told them to speed up but they did not comply. But as for over all day it was nice thanks see you next year.

played this course and it seems like they hadn't put any water on the greens in days. Hard and crusty and the cart guy says we came at the wrong time of the year. should have called first .

Rode the Greens (6621/71.5/130) mid day. POP dragged on the front, things spaced out and moved better on the back, overall 4H, 15M. The weather was in the low 100's, sunny with a little breeze. Seemed hotter and slower than it actually was?

The course is in the 7-8/10 range from tee to green. The greens are still recovering from their recent aeration.

The tees were mostly good. Level with good coverage and only minor divot damage.

The fairways were mostly lush to semi lush and played firm. There are a few hard pan areas caused by the heat that had been recently aerated that should be GUR.

The maintained rough is not very penal here, mostly lush to semi lush and not overly tall. You hope it catches any offline shots, because the native stuff is a probable lost ball.

The large/deep sand traps were mostly well maintained with good quality sand. You need to avoid the fairway traps here more than most courses. If you get in the green side traps, it will be a tough sandie.

The greens were firm, somewhat bumpy and medium speed. Improved from when I played here earlier, but still another week before they will be good again.

The GPS on the carts is good and the all grass practice range is excellent. Nice restaurant on site. The customer service from everyone was very good. The drink cart came by several times and the Starter/Marshall out patrolling trying to keep people moving. Recommended, one of my favorite public layouts in the greater Palm Springs area.

Rode the Greens (6621/71.5/130) with caligolfer1031, adigitalg87 and HmtGolfGuy in 4H, 20M early morning. We then broke for lunch and came back for an afternoon round. The weather was in the mid 90's, muggy and sunny with a little breeze. Thanks to Greg, Gus and Ron for a fun 36 holes!

One of my favorite Palm Springs area public layouts. Fairly tame from tee to green if you can avoid dozens of large fairway bunkers. No significant forced carries and not an overly significant amount of water hazards. However, the nuances of the green complexes are well above average in difficulty. Except for the greens, the course was in pretty good shape but beginning to show signs of the daily 100 degree temps that has been prevalent locally.

The tees were mostly good. Level with good coverage with only minor divot damage.

The fairways were lush to semi lush with a few hard pan areas caused by the heat that had been recently aerated.

The rough was mostly lush to semi lush and not overly penal.

The sand traps were mostly well maintained with good quality sand.

The greens were poor showing visible signs of their recent aeration. Firm, bumpy and slow.

The customer service from everyone was excellent. Marshall out patrolling trying to enforce POP and the drink cart gal was making the rounds. GPS on the carts is good and the all grass practice range is excellent. Definitely recommended, but the greens are at least another 10 days from being smooth and medium fast again.

Great Course!

Everything was perfect, except we kept being unduly pushed by the marshal. Why? I think they are so conditioned to push people along, they don't even look at the time.

Just to let you know, we finished in 4 hours and 5 minutes! Everyone in the group shot in the 80's. Also, for whatever reason, the starter sent a two some to the first hole (right on top of us) before we had even got to the first tee box. BTW, there was a foursome in front of us. Naturally we let the two some by but stayed with them until the 15th hole. We were pushed several times by the marshal to stay up with the two some. Give me a break

I was very proud of my friends from Korea and I was very proud of the Palm Springs golf course,

but

It is the worst golf course in Palm Springs golf course.

Well maintained and beautiful course that blends beauty and difficulty in a fun way. First time playing and we cant wait to go back.

This maybe my number one course in the Palm Springs area !

We played as a foursome celebrating my son's 30th birthday. The attendant met us at the bag drop and got our clubs situated, then the starter came over and gave a quick overview of the course. We hit a few on the range, then set out on our round. Pace of play was decent - there was a foursome ahead of us but we didn't wait much. Once we let a twosome through, though, things somehow slowed down (the four ahead of us never let the twosome through.) Conditions were very good. Greens were slippery and hard to hold with approach shots. Drinking water on every other hole, drink cart came by a few times during the round. We played in a little under 4 1/2 hours with no stop at the turn.

I’ve played here once before, but not in the heat. It was hot, reaching 99, and I hadn’t acclimated but it was tolerable with the shade and lots of water. The course was in great shape and was challenging enough without being discouraging. We booked under a prepaid time on Golfnow and got a good rate. Thankfully my husband and I were not paired with anyone as I’m still learning the game and like to drop an extra ball or two for practice. The pace was a bit slow in the front but picked up on the back when some players dropped out. Our total round was five hrs, . We only saw the cart lady once and that might have been a problem for those who needed fluids or snacks. All in all, it was a fun round on a beautiful course. I will definitely return when it’s cooler.

Bring A game for deep sand traps and plenty of them. Excellent course.
