Nice course. The layout is a bit confusing. I ended up playing into the wrong green. The course was in good shape. The greens were slow because they hadn't been cut recently. Overall I enjoyed my game.

Shadow Mountain a bit rough

The course is fine, but the greens were really rough and slow and the areas around the cups were in bad shape. Other than that, a fun round.

A delightful well groomed course

I had a wonderful time playing this Gene Sarazen design course. The staff were very friendly and inviting. The course had just opened after overseeding and tee to green in immaculate shape. Greens were a little furry and slow but I was able to adapt and make several birdies. I love this place and hope to return often.

short course

Greens were extremely slow, fairways in good shape. Course layout have holes close to each others, keep your head up. Will not play again.

Poor amenities and poor landscaping

Affordable but not a great course. Surrounded area is mobile homes and apartments. The fairway is too narrow and too closed together to homes, streets, and the other fairways. There was no practice facilities. The putting area is not with real grass to mimic the real greens. The range was a cage. Wasn’t worth for the low price.
