Pricey course!

Overall a good course. Some of the greens needed work. Not a good value for the money spent. I can spend about the same amount at much nicer course.

Wish there was a 150 marker

All of the markers on the sprinkler heads were gone and there was not a 150 marker or 100 marker? Better bring your distance finder.

Cart Path Only

Some areas of course were very wet and cart path on those made sense. Others were dry enough to take cart out, at least into the rough. Lots of walking, I think this kept the crowd down, which was a plus.

Higher price, lesser quality. Major declines over the years

Short and sweet for everyone... I used to love this course because it was pristine at a somewhat reasonable price. While difficult, it was arguably the most well kept course in town. That was five years ago. Now and over the last few years, it has gone downhill. The greens are in shambles. The staff didn't inform, either over the phone or upon our arrival, that the course had issues (portions of holes being off-limits, all greens being either dead or with replacement squares of grass, and price increases). For $95 bucks, I cannot recommend. For $50, i'd still pass. You simply cannot track your handicap on this course at this time. I'll try again in another couple years when conditions improve. Tried to include a picture but not sure if it will work. perhaps try google or other review, can't be the only one who experienced this.

Thank you for getting back to me. In reading other comments, it appears my review is reciprocated. It was $95 with a shared cart so I'm thinking $75 round + $20 per seat in the cart which also seems a bit hefty. Either way, cost well outweighed conditions, especially the greens.

We did have issues with 4 of our greens due to the unusually hard freezes over the winter. I'm sorry that you were not informed of the conditions. Our highest green fee is $79 and there were never portions of holes being off limits or entire greens being dead. After the recent rains and warm temps the course has recovered very quickly.

Pace of Play was slow

Usually the pace of play is good at Shadow Glen, but not on Monday. Seemed like one group was holding up three other groups and nothing was done about it. The pace picked up on the last three holes, mainly because that other group finally finished. Guess they didn't know how to play ready golf.
I like the course overall, greens are not as good as I have seen them in the past, hopefully they will fill in with the warmer weather. At least it does look like work is being done to get the course into shape.

Sad state of affairs

Once one of my favorites, this place has fallen to pieces. When they came back from the precipice of failure 8 years ago, I was the biggest champion of this course. It’s a fun and flexible layout, used to have a chill vibe - with people that cared about the quality of the experience and the quality of service.

That’s all gone now.

If you do decide to book a tee time here, call - ask them which greens have grass on them. Even while they’re holding the phone they can use one hand to count.

Nice layout. Greens were rough. Pace a bit slow. I played right after lots of rain and course was flooded in places. Enjoyed the course overall.

Some interesting holes.

The greens were in poor condition - infested with an odd grass that caused the ball bounce and go off line.

Pace slow 4.5 hours due to a slow threesome and no ranger.

We have been treating the poa pretty aggressively and it is almost entirely gone now. After the harsh winter freezes, the bermuda went completely dormant and the poa was able to establish. Sorry that you had a poor experience. We would love to have you back again now that everything bounced back.

Terrible Greens

Greens are awful and not maintained. Over priced for the course conditions. Go to Star Ranch GC up the road for a better experience.

Nice Course - Greens Terrible

I liked the course. Nice layout and it was in good condition except the greens. Obviously the cold had killed most of them. Nothing but sand, mud and weeds. It will be a while before they can be recovered.

Good track; needs time to recover from weather

Really nice layout. Course has taken a beating from the rain and the inconsistent temperatures. Greens were a mess, but just needs a little time and warmth for the Poa Annua to die out and the Bermuda to recover.

Marshall

Played the Saturday before Easter and the staff was incredible besides their one marshall. I get that our group was slow but you do not need to threaten to kick us of the course for being a few minutes behind. Also if you are going to warn us don't yell from your cart while we are putting on the third green and then drive off before we can say anything. I would not be coming back if it wasn't for the other staff members being so great and the course being insanely fun. Side not that pizzas is INCREDIBLE.
