Nice course!

Fun to play! Course is in very good shape. Clubhouse is under renovation, so amenities are pretty basic. That is okay! ☺️ I would recommend this course to play.

Well worth it

Friendly staff fun course with great greens. Somewhat short but plenty of trouble. Very narrow. Good for women golfers. Will play next time we come to the desert. Great value went off at 120 and had plenty of time to play before dark.

Wear a hard hat to play here

3 separate times we ware nearly struck by a stray ball. With no Four call. Took well over 4 hours with no Marshall. Kind of a joke actually. Do not recommend playing here

Shadow Mountain

It’s a short course with pretty tight fairways. Fairway grass is a little splotchy. Greens are in good shape and sand traps are well maintained.

Bottom line,, it’s still a good value, and we finished in about 3 1/2 hours.

Value For the Money

Short, tight course. Fairways were in poor condition. Houses were right on top of the golfers. OK for seniors and high handicappers.

Golfer Mike

Course was in good shape, greens were relatively well groomed. Good location.

Short, only 5000 yards, par 70, only three par 5’s.

Parts of the course are “cramped”, causing golf cart traffic jams.

We saw our first ever “sixsome” playing……(?)

Overall, despite being a windy day, we had a good time.

Wear a hard hat!

4+ hours to complete, on 3 separate occasions we were almost hit by stray golf balls, not one person called four! I have golfed here in the past in the morning, never had any issues. Not sure what happens in the afternoons. I have one last 4 pass to use here and I hope things improve. Really disappointed
