Shadow Ridge Golf Club

Beautiful course in very good shape for the last day before overseeding. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The course was challenging but fair. Play from the appropriate box, long from the tips, perfect from the golds.

This is the second time I've played this course and it's one of my favorite in the area. The staff is friendly, carts have GPS and Yardage, and are equipped with towels, tees, coolers, and ride nice. The course itself is in good shape. Fairways are plush and wonderful to hit from, rough is cut low so you can still hit a wood if needed. Bunkers for the most part are good, but some could use a bit more sand. The course is moderate when it comes to open space, so place your shots where needed. If the GPS shows trouble, it's pretty much right on. For long ball hitters you will have troubles on a few holes as bunkers and water have been placed precisely in your way. Overall I like this course as you will use quite a few different clubs and really get to work on your game. The greens are very hard this time of year October, and watch the grain as it does make a difference.

Loved the course but didn't love the bunkers. Lots of them. Stay out of them and then it is heaven. Well maintained, greens are true and even the bunkers had nice fluffy sand. Will go back now that I have a better idea of the course. You should go!

Staff was great,told us to hit some balls then jump right out. No one there in the afternoon we got around in 3 hours and had a great time. Course was in good shape and fun to play.

Pace of play was a big disappointment people playing from black tees not capable of playing of gold tees. On one hole had 14 or 15 shots.

Great time playing today at Shadow Ridge. Played from the Gold tees and found many sand bunkers. Greens that were like the Dipper at Belmont Park. Friendly staff everywhere! Definitely a course to find my way back to.

From start to finish this course has everything.The staff are welcoming, helpful and well informed. You collect your clubs and cart and meet another set of people who live up to all expectations. You cannot ask for anything more for a truly great game of golf - lovely course, challenging, great scenery and the staff are amazing. They even ask how you got on at the end - and are genuinely interested! What more could one want?

Great course. Difficult but fair. Need to make sure you play the proper set of tees

Hot, humid day. Only took 3 hours.
Greens a bit sandy. Great Hot Deal on Golf Now!

Playing golf anywhere in August is very difficult in Palm Desert it is dangerous....Bring two water bottles and fill them at least five times each round... They provided a towel that should be soaked and worn around the back of your neck tucked in at the collar... Rest in the plentiful shade.
Use a ball retriever when searching in the brush for your ball....anything that moves will move before you are too close.... The fairways were in great shape but the greens were under dressing....I play two to three shots each time so after making about 150 swings you need a rest...I let two 20 somethings who hit from the black tees pass me and they were very courteous....people in the desert off season seem to be extremely polite, including the staff here....Enjoy

Nice place to play. Whomever is the golf architect on this course did a great job. The 18th hole is there signature hole.

This is a great play at the right price unless you are not concerned about money. This play is excellent under 30 for the average player and upto 50 for the more wealthly endowed. The course is immaculate and very enjoyable. Wide fairways, large greens, great carts with GPS. No water supplied but coolers every few holes. Back nine a little more challenging and 18th is their hole you will never forget. You get a par here and you can brag forever. 6200yds is a good play, test your ego and take it back two more to the tips.(good luck)

Overall this course is by no means difficult but there is enough overall length, bunkers and protected greens that will present any weekend/average golfer with a few challenging shots throughout the round.

several great holes. quite a challenge. too bad many of the back nine holes are surrounded by condos.

We had an amazing summer round. A bit windy in the morning but that died down on the back nine. Greens had just been punched but still rolled pretty well. Greens seem like they would be a challenge when running at full speed. Beautiful scenery and well designed. We played the gold tees and could see how the back tees could provide a good challenge to the low handicap golfer.

the best driving range in the desert
the best Marriot course in So. Cal., that being said the greens are under repair this week.
difficult to putt straight but I still recommend this course to everybody

This course is challenging but friendly. It has a lot of beautiful holes that seem to be all by themselves.
A pleasure to play!

I played in the summer heat, but water and ice is provided. The only negative is that the greens had been punched, but that is to be expected in late July. This is a challenging course, but fun!

Nice fairways, excellent golf course but greens were uputtable even thought pro shop staff told us that the greens, (having been punched 2 weeks ago) were very puttable. Thus, I rate the pro shop as being misinformed or selling players a bill of goods. The greens were not puttable, i.e. slow, course and uneven. Any knowledgeable greens person knows that greens can be airiated in such a way as to leave them very puttable, true and fast.

GolfNow and the golf courses website made no mention of nine holes being closed for aerafication. I would not have booked the round if I would have been told about playing the back nine twice. With that being said, I do enjoy this course. It was a little crowded on the course. We waited for a twosome in front of us on a lot of holes. No Marshall on course. I mentioned the waiting to the beverage girl. The twosome came back to us and let us play through. The beverage girl went above and beyond her duties for us (Thank You).
