Nice greens, fast pace

We enjoyed our round. We were disappointed that for the price the facility had a construction trailer as a "pro shop" and did not have a driving range. The hitting mats and nets were in very poor condition so we were unable to warm up before our round.

Most of the course was in fair condition and the greens were very well maintained and made the course a good challenge!

If you want to play a round of golf" where you can see the "local wildlife" in its natural habitat just come to Shadow Mountain. Golf!

This course is for bros, with beers, exposed bellies /farmers tans, bad swings and bare feet. Seriously, anything goes!!! No ranger to monitor, pace of play is horrific, liable to be injured from errant shots coming from every direction, and course condition is anything but below adequate.. This is a course where, truly, the inmates run the asylum!!

For the reputation of the owner being a class act and an asset to the community, her golf course and its players are anything but. A BIG black eye!!!

Nice, fun course. Great people!

First time to play this course. We needed to find something in the desert that didn’t break the bank every time we play. Met awfully nice folks. Loved the burgers and dogs at the turn. Greens in great shape. A fun, value-friendly course which served as a shakedown round before heading elsewhere the next day ($$$). We will be back!!

Better than expected

After reading some of the reviews I was hesitant to play here. I was pleasantly surprised at the shape of the course . Obviously a little rain can make a difference.

Greens were quick and true.

Wouldn’t pay half of $85 to play here

Course appears to have no water it was so dry and patchy. Far too many holes close to each other also bring your hard hat.
