Great Quirky Course

Thoroughly enjoyed our round. Staff was welcoming. The course is in great shape, greens are a little slow, carts seem newer, but no GPS. Driving range has been converted to a putting course so they only have mats and nets, but that's the only negative. The course at first glance seems like it should be easy but some of the fairways are narrow and tight. It's an old property but surprisingly well cared for, a little quirky, old school vibe, and just a very enjoyable round.

Shadow Mountain- Fun course good condition

Really friendly staff. Cool old course with a nice renovation. I thought of being in the desert in the 1950s. Course was in great condition and pace of play was great. Looked like a lot of older low handicap regulars playing. Very tight layout and well protected greens.

Historic Shadow Mountain

This is not a modern 21st century course but it’s challenging albeit tight layout. It’s in excellent condition and all the staff are very welcoming and friendly.

Great views; great experience

Made reservation same day. Traveling w/out clubs. Good loaner set provided. Beautiful fairways, really nice greens. Lots of bunkers. Trees can make it challenging. Incredibly friendly staff from check-in to return. Great pace of play, starting at 11:30.

staff never around. Starter very nice man. No cart person. No one around to help with bags or help with how course goes. Pace of play was very good. The course very challenging but like how it played. It was good that we played with someone who knew the course.

The young at the course was very nice and courteous. Was very helpful with bags and explained where everything was located. Also tips of the course. The course is hidden but really very well kept and fun to play.
