For the money i think it is a decent value. this course shouldn't charge more than $75.00 at the most!! Need to pair up twosomes to speed up play. the course is very dry right now which makes some of the fairway lies bare. Sand spread randomly on every green.

Can it return to greatness?

Love this course but fairways were in poor condition. Pace of play can always be an issue here. I hope they take steps to improve current drawbacks.

Great course for the price.

Great course for the price. I’ve played here twice now and enjoyed both times had no groups in front or behind for a while. The course is well maintained even for the winter, the greens are very well kept. Course is fairly easy especially if your course management is decent. Most holes aren’t overly long and don’t require driver. Overall great course for the price. Especially twilight.

Better green care shows

Played last week where I liked the course layout but hated the slow greens. Glad I played again as the greens we mowed and much better. Early morning tee time played course in under 3.5 hours. I will be back. Good value for money.

Some drunk players and no course Marshal

Course was ok, greens were decent but fairways were really mixed. No course Marshal to move groups along or evict them as one group was drunk and another group was ridiculously slow as they had balls on three different fairways half the time and just drove out onto other fairway to hit their ball even when we were hitting. Crazy bad etiquette

Good value

Tee boxes and greens in excellent shape. Fairways need work. Clubhouse under major renovations. Will be very nice course once all work done. Good value at this time.

It’s been better

We always enjoy Shadow Mountain. The course is fun to play and a great value. This year the fairways are really sparse and not as lush as in past years, and the greens were a little bumpy. Nevertheless, we had fun playing the course and, as always, the staff was very friendly and accommodating. They’re doing a lot of nice work improving the amenities at Shadow Mountain and I expect the course conditions will improve as these projects are completed.
