Shadow Ridge Golf Club

I have played Shadow Ridge many times and it is a first class facility and golf course. Of all of the public courses in the desert, it is in the very best shape right now.

However, I quit after 9 holes as I was on caught up with a twosome at 8 and it took me 45 minutes to get through 8 and 9. After sitting on the 10th tee and watching 2 foursomes chop up the course for 20 minutes I decided to quit. Too bad and they should have a Marshall out there even though it is the summer out here. When I left the course after 9 holes, as a single my pace of play 2 hour and 20 minutes. Most of the other courses like the Marriott Desert Springs or the Westin I play 18 holes in 2 hours and 40 minutes.

We are mid-handicaper and booked this course at short notice for a round in the afternoon. The course itself is imbedded in a Marriott vacation facility and well maintained. Not difficult at all to play but sometimes challenging. As prior to our tee-time a group of children started the staff was exerted to find a hole were we could start to avoid stand by time. Thanks again for that.

I'm a 14 Handicap.

This is a beautifully landscaped facility in Palm Desert. Love the design! Could be extremely challenging from the tips. Generous, well-maintained fairways and wonderful, true-rolling greens. No funny trick undulations to frustrate your round. Faldo knows what he's doing.

Tip: In the summer play early in morning, say before 7:00am. Desert heat can be a serious problem towards end of round.

Course Amenities: A+

We had a great time and the summer pricing made it a great value. Luckily it wasn't blazing hot that day.

Played 36 holes on Father's Day , course was wide open and in great condition. Course is challenging and the staff was very friendly and helpful. I visit Palm Springs every year and will definitely make this a must play course when I'm here.

Play shadow ridge every year in June. Always enjoy the course. Good variety of tee choices. good challenge from the tips were I played and playable for my nephew who is a beginner from the forward tees. The condition of the course not as perfect as in the past but likely due to the drought. still very good shape

You can't go wrong at Shadow Ridge. The course is in good condition even in the off season.

Went to Palm Prings with 2 buddies to play a ton of golf for 5 days. We played all high end courses, as it was cheap because of the heat. Shadow Ridge was the favorie course for all of us! The layout is great, pretty forgiving off the tee box with wide fairways and then narrow and protected around the greens. It was a fantastic layout, especially for a group with low and high handicappers playing together. Next year it will be the first course we play

very nice course staff was very friendly and helpful. a twosome at 6:45 played under 3 hours Great

I have played this course 15-20 times over the last few years. This is the worst condition I have played at this facility. The greens were slow sandy and many ball marks. The fairways were thin and bare in places.

Great facility to work on all aspects of your game.

Excellent value for the discounted rate, conditions were excellent and fast play.

El césped es increíble aun estando en un desierto,, yo jugué de las salidas verdes, con 12 hcp. y el juego estuvo muy bien, los verdes muy bien un poco difícil.

First time in the area, we found this resort course on Golfnow when checking for Palm Springs. It was a great find- we stayed at the Mariott resort as well. Staff was very friendly, full practice facility. Great course layout with undulating greens, especially for a desert course. Faldo design is loaded with bunkers. We really enjoyed the outing, would include this course for future trips.

Staff were surly. Practice area was in exceptionally poor condition. Definatily the course was not manicured and in shabby condition compared to other better courses in the area. Try those courses and give this a miss.

As always GolfNow got us on the course for less than half the course advertised price. Beautiful course that is well laid out offering target golf but enjoyable for the less skilled.

Green undulations and sand bunkers abound, hole 13 shows a wicked side of N. Faldo's design - uphill dogleg left hidden in a raven. Challenging, greens fast and true, fun course cut from the desert with natural vegetation, a gem that winds through the Mariott with beautiful views, but not too close to resort bldgs to bother. The course provided GPS seemed a little off compared to laser.

Challenging course, in great condition. Some challenges with kids playing on the resort course on 17 and 18. Enjoyed playing it and recommend it.

Have played this course last 7 years while on vacation, it is currently in as good condition as ever.

Greens and fairways - never a level lie. Fun. Course Marshall? Said we were a hole behind so we picked up on the hole (the couple the course paired us with were newbies) and a hole later the Marshall told us we were 10 minutes ahead of time.! We were not happy and confused.
