Early round 7:10 tee time`

We were sent out as a twosome. No one in front of us so we teed off at 7. Played the whole 18 without waiting or being pushed. The

Course was in very good condition. The greens had no ball marks. Many shorter par 4s made scoring fun. Finished in about 3:20.

We had a very good time.

A quick round

Course was in poor shape, particularly the fairways with lots of dead grass. This is a tight course with fairways running side by side, and greens close to tee boxes. The price was fair for this type of course, but I would not want to play it that frequently.

Great greens, but

The greens were in great shape, but the fairways were not. Still enjoyed the round, but they were the opposite of lush. Hopefully that’s just a temporary condition.

Looks and plays like muni that needs a cash infusion.

Enjoyed the back 9 more than the front. Course needs fairway grass and better signage for carts. The low cost attracts high handicap golfers and couples. Beautiful views, some additional investment could make all the difference.

Good value and very friendly staff. The course was in tough shape. Not much grass in the fairways, greens were running about 10 and in decent shape. Unlike some of the courses we have played this winter in the desert the sand traps were the bests we played nice soft sand and "consistent. Not sure if they have an irrigation system to cover the fairways. Would give it another chance.

A little gem in paradise

We played Shadow Mountain for the first time and found it a delightful walk back in time. Yes, we walked and loved it. The greens were challenging and well maintained, while the fairways were a bit dry and underwatered. Thought the whole experience was worth the money and would definitely do it again.
