Shadow Ridge Golf Club

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).

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.
