Shadow Ridge Golf Club

Great layout that will provide a challenge for all levels of skill. Greens rolled nice and were very receptive.

This course is a great mix of challenge from the back tees versus very playable tees for my wife. The layout is strong and the course was in good shape even for an afternoon round in July.

I had not played the course for years. I was really looking forward to playing it because I consider it a great test of golf skill. I love the practice facility, and was there to evaluate it since they offer practice memberships. All was going well until I got to the practice putting green where out of nowhere a range ball landed a few feet from my feet. Since the driving range was empty, and the ball was not the color of their range balls, I was mystified. The mystery would be solved in a few holes.

A good portion of the course is lined with hotel/timeshare units. I was absolutely horrified when at various holes the fairways were filled with children playing in water hazards or hitting balls. It made playing the course impossible and dangerous. When I mentioned this to the cart barn staff at the end of the round, all I got was shrugs.

I'm glad I did not pay season rates to play. A great day of golf was ruined by my inability to finish the round due to human hazards. I'd like my time and money back, but good luck with that.

I say avoid this wonderful course at all costs unless you get a guarantee in advance that there will be no child hazards in play.

Stupid lawnmower peoples bother us so many times on fairway and green so many times.

Don't want to play here again!

Love this course. It will challenge you. Requires you to be accurate. Bunkers, water along with the desert landscape though beautiful will need you to be careful. Rolling fairways, greens are a nice touch.

Obstacles are strategically well placed to make Shadow Ridge a really challenging golf course. Tough greens which are difficult to read. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Course was in excellent condition.

It was our first time at this course. We struggled the first 18 holes without having familiarity of the course layout and the greens. Many shots were lost hitting into the greens as the ball would roll off or end up with difficult putts.

The second 18 holes we all improved our scores significantly! All in all it was a challenging layout and would come back again!

This is a challenging course that requires distance, accuracy, and course management. Most of par 4's are manageable, but there are some that are more than 450 yds. Shorter par 4's are well protected by bunkers, and there are Faldo's signature "catches" around the greens, so you have to be very accurate with your approach shots. Greens are undulating, usually three-tiers, and quite fast. There are some memorable holes as well (ex. #7, #9, #16, and #17). All in all, if you can find a great deal, this is one of the "must" courses in the Palm Springs area.

Great layout. Many interesting holes and much variety. There is water and bunkers, with narrow and wide fairways. Some target golf holes while others are wide open. It was almost always possible to see the danger but all carts had GPS. Having said all that, know the day we played the fairways were dry and hard. There was many dead patches in the fairways that were as hard a concrete. Many of the green were also dry and hard. There was very little sand in the traps. My partner didn't like the elevated greens but they were fine for me. The green fees for the course can not be justified. After playing twelve rounds at eleven other courses in the area, I suggest you look elsewhere as many of the $49.00 courses are in better shape and are as much fun to play.

The coarse and facility were very nice!

Very challenging layout with plenty of bunkers.

Love the course. Has long and short holes. Scoring requires excellent short game and putting skills. A favorite to play every time I come to the area.

I always wanted to play here but it was above my expense budget however, finally got a couple of deals in the same week, worth the wait, wish it was a bit cheaper though.

This is a very good and very challenging course. Tee selection to match your ability is important. A must play for lower to mid handi-cap players.

Good course. Pleasant staff. Pricy in comparison to others this time of year.

Very good condition. Greens are challenging.

Staff was very friendly and helpful from the parking lot to the first tee. Course was fun and greens rolled great with lots of challenge from undulation, no easy 2 putts. Cloudy day so views were limited, but I'm sure it's great on clear days. Fairways were a bit tight for my liking but green and fair. Lots of condos around, not in the way of golfers since fairways are plenty wide. The grounds around the condos looked pretty trashy in the back drop of such a well maintained course, obviously a different standard or maintenance group.

If there is you will not have a cart with enough battery to make the thrn

the staff was very very very busy because of hundreds of people waiting to play in the shotgun

thjs is the nicest place to play in a laege comminity of sun city so you get lots of people playing

the carta were quick chargedmeaning they were not charged a d we had to wait in tbe garage in ,ine with our golfbags to getacart

the course need lkts morewateras very smallportion is green and tbe rough was very high for palm slrings

greens were nice but tough rolling putts lots of sandbut not very good sand

Great course and the only thing that would have made it more enjoyable would have been if our foursome had not been held up by a slow foursome in front of us. By the time we got to the back nine we waited on every tee box and then for every approach shot. It was a hot day and by the time we got to the 15th hole we decided to not play it so we could get in front of the slow foursome, as we suspected there was no one on the 16th tee box, fairway or green.

As stated, a very nice course that just needs to do something to keep the rate of play moving along, they did have nine minutes between tee times so the issue is simply no one asking slow players to speed up or have them miss a hole. One slow foursome affects all the golfers playing behind them.
