Outstanding par 3 course

The course was beautiful. Large undulating greens making putting hard if you weren't close enough or below the hole. The course was well kept. The staff was great. The price was a little high but still worth the play. It is cart path only and it was very hilly. So a lot of walking. Tee boxes were in great shape. Will play here again if we ever come back to the area.

Best Short Course around!

We absolutely love mountain shadows.

I am actually a Golf fitness coach and have not played for 21 week due to shoulder and bicep tendon surgery.

This was my test to see if I could get out there. It was fantastic and we actually played twice this weekend.

Lovely people scenic location and top-notch short game golf.

The Views at Paradise Valley. OMG

The course is in immaculate condition. (Fairways n Greens). The staff in the golf shop, Starter, and Cart attendant are very helpful and friendly. Also the refreshment cart was always checking in with us throughout the 18 holes.

A nice late morning round of 18 in 2 1/2 hours. Perfect experience see you soon.

What a splendid course!

I had such a fun time today playing the short course at mountain shadows! I played two balls so I got to see the course from every angle(and a few bunkers) and I couldn’t be more impressed. Playing the longs I got a good mix of 6-7 iron shots and wedges. There are really cool water carries and scenic views. The greens are fun and fair and the staff is lovely. I had lunch at the bar and shea was spectacular. Thanks for my favorite round of golf can’t wait to return!

Love a great par 3 course with gorgeous views and this is the place! Course was in pristine condition and I was able to get a round done within 3 hours before mid day. They even offered free coffee in the morning! Would absolutely recommend to anyone visiting AZ!

Greens were air rated two days before

I should have been notified since I booked my teatime weeks in advance that the greens were air rated two days before our teatime. They had holes every half of an inch over the entire Green so they were very bumpy! I would not have played this course if I knew they had been aerated two days prior to our tee time!

Thank you for joining us. There are notices on Golf Now stating that we were aerifying greens. Unfortunately, they can be difficult to see, so our apologies. We pride ourselves on great course conditions, and aerification is important. The course conditions should be back to normal by June 10.

Favorite hidden gem in AZ

One of my favorite courses to play in Arizona. The staff are so friendly and helpful and make the experience that much better. Although it's a par 3 course, it's definitely challenging. The greens have lots of undulations, false fronts, and small target areas. Perfect mix of distances with tee shots ranging from 75 yards to just under 200 yards. Love coming here to work on irons, wedges and putting. Highly recommend this course if you haven't tried it out yet!
