Flamingo’s!!!!

great course! bathrooms were well placed throughout the course. starter was friendly, had a beverage cart and the players were in pace. front 9 greens today were very slow; back 9 were a bit faster. narrow fairways but with a little course management, you can set up the next shots easily. will return and i recommend it!

Fair Price and a Fun Layout

It’s a tight course, but is very short and relatively forgiving. It’s a great option for novice golfers or experienced golfers who don’t want to break the bank. Fairways and greens were in good shape. Everything was clean and orderly. Would definitely play here again.

First time at shadow mountain

Let me start by saying the starter was great in helping us with course guidance.His personality was top notch.

The pro shop attendant was also nice she was patient

with customers ready to play.The course itself is short

but challenges you with narrow fairways.Water is also

in play on a few holes.The course is well kept with

nice greens that will challenge your putting abilities.

We will definitely be back when visiting the desert again.

Classic

Shadow Moutain s an older short course. Fun to play and was in very good shape.

The changes they have made in the last 2 years have improved the course and amenities.

Will play again

Excellent course. Not too challenging. Fairways Wide. Greens a little slow and bumpy. Perfect course for new golfer or senior. Highly recommend to others.

Slow motion

The group ahead had a 2 hole gap in front of them. Never did see a Marshall. Have golf here on several occasions and it is always slow.
