Conditions

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.

Great value for the price

Starter is the best in the desert. Played with my wife who is a beginner and the starter made sure not to pair us up with golfers that would be bothered. The pace of play was on the slower side but overall had a great time playing twilight golf.
