Shadow Ridge Golf Club

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 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.

We enjoyed this course. The wind was howling when we started, but died down after several holes. The course is challenging and the greens are a bit tricky. We played with a time share owner and they gave us plenty of tips which was helpful. Would play here again.

Course was in fantastic shape. Very challenging and does not let up. Wind kicked up which added to some of the degree of difficulty. Only a few tight holes but lots of trouble around the greens if not hitting accurate shots. We were joined by two men from Canada which added to the experience. Played in 4:05 so pace of play was great. Spectacular views everywhere you looked.

I am an 8 handicap player and found the course to be an interesting layout that is somewhat challenging. Nick Faldo did a good job of designing Shadow Ridge for all skill levels. The other three players in my group were occasional golfers with high handicaps, yet the course was very playable for them. The well-placed bunkers and the subtle links-style terrain around the greens made the course fun for me. The staff was very helpful too. I'll be back.

Played the Greens (6621/71.5/130) in 4H, 45M, matched up with Donna, Peggy & Nancy. The weather was around 65, clear with a little breeze.

I enjoy this course layout and the course conditions were near perfect. Numerous large fairway bunkers to avoid, but the landing areas on most par 4's & par 5's tee shots are generous in width. However, from the tee shot landing area in, the difficulty goes up considerably. The greens are large, undulating and well protected by traps or hazards. MUCH more break than you would initially think. There are also many runoff or collection areas around these greens, so putts or chips that are hit offline, too weak or too bold can easily end up off the green.

The tees had most divots already repaired. Very lush and well maintained.

The fairways were lush and well maintained. Most divots already repaired. Mowed close, enjoyed watching shots roll close to the ground like watching the Masters on TV.

The rough was also lush and just tall enough to make you think twice when using longer clubs.

The sand traps were well maintained with beautiful white sand. Numerous traps that appear to be green side from the tee are actually 25-50 yards from greens, so you can easily get unusual length sand shots here.

I felt like the par 71 layout played tougher than the ratings indicated because of the green complexes. the layout has numerous shorter par 4's that could produce doubles or worse equally as easy as a par/birdie. Two par 4's over 460 from even the next to back set of tees. Par 3's a good variation in length and look.

The customer service was excellent from everyone encountered. Drink cart out and around numerous times. Excellent practice facility. Overall, a very fun layout in excellent condition. Definitely recommended.
