Shadow Ridge Golf Club

Faldo design that is somewhat unique out in the Desert. Layout & set-up promote "bump & run" approaches, but still very challenging with the greens dry, hard & wicked fast. Overall very enjoyable.

From the time we arrive to the course the staff was great free balls @ the range and GPS what else can you ask for

Excellent codition except for front nine greens which were slightly burned out. Speaking of the greens, they were fast with tough pin placements that made the large contoured greens very difficult to putt. That said, it is a great course with challenges at al levels of play.

As a low handicap golfer I enjoy tough challenges, firm greens (that only reward well struck approaches), and complex, smooth greens. Despite being a resort course with sometimes wide fairways, the Faldo designed Shadow Ridge has reasonable length and fairway bunkers that call for good management. The greens are cut shorter than most desert greens this time of year and putt quite smoothly. This must be one of the ten best tracks in the Valley - certainly one of the most enjoyable - and has large established trees providing good shade next to the tees.

Shadow Ridge Golf Course is a very challenging resort course. Playing from the gold tees at 6200 yards, this course has plenty of length for any golfer greater than a 10 handicap. The greatest challenge to the course is avoiding the many bunkers and the speed of the greens. The greens are a new hybrid Bermuda green called Tiff-Eagle. These greens are smooth and run really fast. More so than your typical Bermuda green. I love this course

The greens are tough and the bunkers are deep. Remember when you play you are in the desert and your ball will go farther.

Good experience, short term booking, flexible start time, very friendly staff from check in to starter, good course condition.

The course is very well maintained and is challenging for any level of player. Bunkers are in play on almost all of the holes and water is very near on quite a few as well. Partice facility is fantastic and you can spend a few hours just on it.

Shadow Ridge is a well maintained course with lots of memorable holes. You have to hit it straight. Wouldn't recommend it for big handicappers. Staff is Attentive and friendly. Nice clubhouse and restaurant.

Great course..Excellent condition and quite challenging. Bring your sand wedge. Fun to play.

This is a great course and I look forward to playing here again even though it beat me up a bit. The only negative thing I would have to say is that there are some fairway bunkers soley designed to punish the higher handicappers which makes an already challenging course that much more difficult and slows down the pace of play.

Overall a very good experience. Course was in excellent condition (much better than PGA west!)

Course in great shape, practice facility is first class. If you can't shoot under a 100, probably not the course for you. Lots of deep unforgiving bunkers and errant drives will mostly be gone. Play South Indian Canyons if you want a more forgiving course, also in great shape but greens at shadow ridge quicker and firmer.

The course presents a beautiful array of views from each hole. the long par 4s and the short par 4s are equally challenging.
Its not a target course but you do have to pick your shots carefully to avoid trouble on certain holes.
The course is is very nice shape. Makes you feel that you are far away from everything but there is a hint that its not as on one of the holes you can actually see a Lowes hardware store. Not an eye sore - but it makes you aware of the great job they did in setting this course up.
Very nice finishing hole - Trust me - club up on your approach shot.

The Faldo course at Shadow Ridge is a "must play".
Played the course on April 27, 2013 and the course conditions were perfect! The greens rolled true at moderate speeds. Most every hole has a "risk/reward" option. There are no bad lies in the fairways or rough and the bunkers are groomed.

The driving range is one of the best in the desert. Turf tees with brand new Taylor Made range balls.
The clubhouse is very nice and a very well stocked pro shop. There are many of Nick Faldo's momentos on display.

There is nothing not to like about this real gem of a course
Oh and Happy Hour in the Faldo Bar & Grill is all day long!

In general the course is not memorable. Back 9 is much nicer than the front but there are much better courses for the money.

Comparable to Westin Mission Hills Gary Player.

The course was in very good condition. The golf attendants and shop attendant were very courteous and helpful however, the Starter, Chuck's social skills weren't the best.

I paid $39 through GolfNow for a 2:15 tee time. The course was challenging and well maintained, except I thought the bunkers could have used more sand. The other players in my group agreed. It was difficult to slide the club under the ball in the traps. I still liked the layout of the course and will play it again.

We will be playing this course again. You need to play it more than once so you get familiar with its layout. Great shape and great value.

you get what you pay for... decent golf course...minimal
extras such as help with bag...
