Shadow Ridge Golf Club

I love this course! It works well for my game, and I always end up with a low score. The greens are challenging and have some interesting breaks. A nice shift from some of the other courses we have played in the valley.

We’ve played this course before and the condition has gone down.

The tee boxes were iffy and the greens were ridiculously slow for a course of this caliber.

We won’t be spending our money here again

Great course to play your first time because it is all laid out in front of you with not much trickery. There are several holes with steep runoffs on the sides of greens but they didn't come into play too often on approach shots. Greens were slow because of recent over seeding but they were in great condition. A lot of undulations on the greens and some of the pins were in "sucker" positions but it was up to you to bite off what you wanted to chew. Definitely would play here again with the proper deal.

I felt like I was playing a pro level course through the fairways. They were lush, with perfect lies all the way through. The layout was interesting as almost every hole had a unique feel and sweep.The greens were undulating and challenging to read, but the pace of them was fairly slow. This might have been a problem, but I got there early and had plenty of time to adjust to the slow pace. Perhaps an 8 on the Stimpmeter, but that's just my guess.

Apparently it is only a couple of weeks after the over-seeding and the course is in awesome condition. We were very pleased, we can only imagine how nice this track will be in another week or two. Very friendly service, this course is on most “must play” list every time we visit Palm Springs!

I thought I was at a Country Club! This course is so well maintained. Beautiful slopes, lush grass, but a lot of bunkers. Can’t wait to play it again!

2nd group to tee off and followed a slow group for 8 holes with groups behind us backed up. Marshall finally came by and said they were 23minutes ahead of schedule. So what! The Marshall looked at the back up and finally told us to play through on #10.

Don’t think we’ll go back after that experience with the Marshall.

Course was fun to play. Greens slow from overseeding but overall a challenging, fun course.

The course was quiet when we arrived (10am) and players had already set out. We weren't rushed but missed the starter so played without GPS. It was OK though. Tee to green was in good summer shape. The restaurant was closed as was the snack shop but wasn't an issue. I'd go back again at this time.

Rode the Greens (6621/71.5/130) in 2.5H mid day using Forelinx. The weather was around 100, clear and calm.

The Bermuda tees were mostly lush, with only a couple needing divot attention.

The Bermuda fairways were semi lush and firm, well maintained.

The Bermuda rough was mostly lush and just tall enough to make you think twice when using longer clubs. Usually nice to chip out of.

The green side sand traps were well maintained with good quality white sand. Numerous traps that appear to be green side from the tee are actually 25-50 yards from greens, so you can get unusual length sand shots here. Some fairway traps are waste bunkers & less maintained.

The Bermuda greens were firm, putted medium fast speed and were mostly smooth. They held approach shots with some run out with hardly any ball marks because of the firmness.

The Faldo layout is fun to play and suits my eye. Numerous risk/reward par 4's that could produce a 3-4 or a 6-7. Two par 4's over 460 from even the next to back set of tees. The par 3's offer a good variation in length and look. There are numerous large fairway bunkers to avoid, but the landing areas on most par 4's & par 5's tee shots are very generous in width. 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 = Yes.

Best course I’ve played so far on my vacation, fairways are perfect and greens are only gonna get better

Shadow Ridge has always been a favorite. But this past time was bad. Hit a ball down the middle and you lie sucks. Fairways are all torn up. Looks and plays horrible. And to top it all off they are charging almost double what other courses are charging.

Love this course would play it all the time if I could but I live in orange county so I’ll play when I come out to Palm Desert every time I come out .

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.
