Shadow Ridge Golf Club

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.

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.

THIS IS A NICE COURSE, BUT THE AREA HAS MUCH MUCH BETTER FOR SAME OR LOWER PRICE.

There are so many courses in the area that its course was average because we played two or three other more beautiful more challenging courses 15 minutes away there are so many quarts is in the area that this course was average because we played to or three other more beautiful more challenging courses 15 minutes away

Played the Greens (6621/71.5/130) in 4H, 10M, matched up with Dave & Troy using Underpar. The weather was clear, mid 60's, little wind, excellent for golf.

The course conditions were near perfect. Matt's prior review was spot on. Driving areas on most par 4's & par 5's are generous in width. Numerous fairway bunkers to avoid, but I found many to not be in my prime landing zones as I was either short of or over many of them from the Greens. However, from your tee shot in, the difficulty goes up considerably. The greens are large, well protected by traps or hazards and are very undulating. I almost NEVER had a straight putt and was often playing 2 to 3' of break on even 15-25' putts... and frequently not playing enough break. 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.

Tees lush and well maintained. Most divots already repaired.

Both the fairways and rough were lush and well maintained. Most divots already repaired.

The beautiful white sand was adequate in amount, good in quality and very well maintained. Numerous traps are 25-50 yards from greens, so you can easily get unusual length sand shots here.

Par 71 layout that plays tougher than the ratings. 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. The customer service was very good from everyone encountered. Drink cart out and around numerous times. Very fun layout in excellent condition. Definitely recommended.

have played this before. the second experience was also good until the wind came up on the back nine. Turned out to be extremely difficult..a sand storm for the last four holes. Greens were fast.

This is a beautiful course. Perfect for a golf get-away. Would recommend staying at the Marriott for a golf weekend.

The practice facilities are amazing. Well manicured and a huge layout. Endless practice balls if you have a tee time that day. Great bunker practice, short range, long range and big putting area.

Carts are in great shape. Score cards, pencils, divot filler and ice in the coolers. All the touches are there.

Best golf in Palm Desert.

The course was very well groomed, greens in fantastic shape. I highly reccomend this course to all! Well done people.
Food I sadly say was horrible. Selling bad fish is not a wise move. To me it's simply a lazy chef. Over-all I'd play it in a heart beat but I would bring my own food. Over priced and pretty sad condition.
Enjoy the round you'll love it.
