Great conditions and fun change of pace

Great time at Mountain Shadows! Played in the afternoon and had the place to ourselves. Beautiful scenery, great conditions, and a unique layout made for a really fun day. Will definitely be coming back!

Nice youth or beginners course

Okay experience if you’re working on short game. Tee boxes were in poor condition. Overpriced for course conditions and length.

Thank you for the feedback.

We're sorry you didn't find the same enjoyment as many of our golfers. A recent 3-day event just concluded, and the tees are recovering. The greens and fairways are in great condition. And we host a skins game on Tuesdays, where mini tour and regular PGA Tour players enjoy the competition at The Short Course.

short course

I do like to play here because of the beautiful scenery and sometimes a short course is nice. However, often the prices are too high for a par 3 course. Golfed here today b/c of a "hot deal" on golf now. Not usually a lot of golfers here, so pace of play has been good. But haven't golfed here during prime AZ season, so not sure how busy it gets.

Thank you for the feedback. We are a nice high-end golf resort that plays in 3 hours. We just happen to have all Par 3's and great conditions. The pricing is just over half of the nice golf resorts in our area. A bargain for sure.

Can't wait to play again

First time playing here, won't be the last. Great place to test and work on your iron game. Had the place almost to ourselves on Labor Day. Condition and layout was top notch. Staff was friendly and helpful from the pro shop to starter. Fun little lag putt challenge after 17th hole. Only gripe (not that it would have changed my score drastically), but some of the pin placements were ridiculous. The greens themselves are challenging with their shapes and undulations, but several pins were barely two places from the fringe in really obscure areas. Would come back anytime on a hot deal for sure.

Thank you for the 5 star review. All the greens are very different and you won't get bored. Yes, some of the pin placements can be creative, but isn't that part of the fun at a Par 3 course. Look forward to your next visit.
