Shadow Mountain Golf Course

This place was fun with kitchy decorations and small course feel. It's certainly not a large piece of land so for some people it may feel cramped. Houses are definitely close to the course and easy to hit if you're too loose. The conditions were great EXCEPT for the speed of the greens. I'm sure it's purposeful to help speed up play of casual players. I prefer fast and firm greens but to be fair every green here is pretty small... It's great value for a shorter length 18 and still a par 70. It's a unique combo that plays a bit faster and doesn't feel as overwhelming as a true championship course. Speed up the greens and it could be a real fun tight course test for a lower handicap. Fun vibe especially for more casual players so I'd recommend it for golfing occasions like birthdays or reunions or group outings.

Really enjoyed Shadow Mountain in the middle of a Palm Springs golf week as a change of pace and a break from the big courses. It’s quite short, but certainly not easy. The course has small greens and narrow fairways, with mid century modern houses very close to the line of play, so you need to be accurate. Even short hitters like me will use 3 wood or less on many par 4 and 5 holes. The staff is friendly, and the overall vibe is fun. The decor is big on pink flamingos (and pink in general). Sadly there is no range, just some nets to warm up. But there is a huge putting green — partly to warm up and partly to play 18 hole rounds of putt-putt on a real green that has no windmills, but plenty of extreme undulations. Overall, it’s a great place to give your driver a rest, work on your short game, and just have fun. I’ll be back next time I’m in Palm Springs.

Course is fairly challenging for a shorter course. Fairly tight fairways with homes on many holes. Fairways and greens were in great shape - greens perhaps a bit slow but not bad. You don't need to hit long to enjoy this course, just keep it in the fairways and avoid the temptation to smash your drives. Friendly staff, pace was very good at 8:00am.

Oldest course in Palm area or so they say. Fun short track Par 70 for the boys just under 5400 from the blues with just the 2 par 5's. Great shape greens a bit slow however. Just felt comfy to play but a bit tight in spots so not so good for newbies to golf. Very enjoyable round nonetheless. Plan on playing it again before end of the vacation.

We’ve been playing here once in a while for many years and were amazed at the improvements this year The new flamingo themed clubhouse is completed and replaces the old check- in trailer. The fairways are now green and lush where they used to be spotty. The greens are slow and need to be cut but I understand the course wants to make sure the grass is healthy first. As always staff was very friendly and welcoming

It is a relatively short track but ideal for a couples game. My wife loved the course and there is enough challenge that I am very happy to revisit regularly

Staff was super friendly. Course was higher handicap friendly. Greens and fairways in good shape. Little lite on food or other amenities but restaurants nearby. Great for knocking off winter rust.

Had a beautiful day on a lovely course. Staff were very enthusiastic, friendly and supportive.

The course was in great shape overall except the greens were incredibly slow. We found out after the game that all the greens are new and being carefully nursed along, but will eventually be cut shorter.

Would strongly recommend signs asking players to fix their divots. Lots of sand seed available on carts but some fairway areas were really getting hacked up!

Beautiful washrooms at the clubhouse!

The starter Van, an outstanding guy! Friendly checkin and staff.

Tight layout and you need to be hitting your mid and short irons well to have a good round. Greens were super slow!

Course is in the best shape in years! New amenities and additional features make a huge difference. Mid century golfing at its finest with beautiful mountain views!

Although golf is sometimes called a good walk spoiled, it’s actually very nice at this course. The course is in very good condition and the pace of play is speedy. The staff are exceptionally friendly!

Course in good shape. A lot of upgrades in facility. Price a little high.

This course is truly a "Hidden Gem"... It gives off a tropical island vibe with all the flamingos placed everywhere but wow!! Its beautiful! from the tee box to the greens its AWESOME!! Course management is crucial playing here as you have to be accurate and smart with all your shots but the rewards are good. Driver is not needed as much at this course as it plays short at almost 5400 yards from the blues but... just because its short does not make it easy as you will be tested in all areas in your game. This course is so pure from the carts to the conditions of the fairways & greens... everything is just so green and picture perfect!! I highly recommend this course to anyone who can appreciate not only a challenge but great mountain views, and attention to small details the separate this course from a typical public course. Play here... you will not be disappointed.

Perhaps the most welcoming front staff and service staff I have encountered in golf in a long while.

Although this is a shorter course, don't be fooled. It is tight most of the way. And it is in excellent shape.

If you want a tight challenge where you don't need a long drive off the tee, this is it.
