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.

The group that played behind us was rude and hit into our group on the green two times.

Excellent little par 3 course in the Arizona desser

We would definitely recommend this little par 3 gem which has the most spectacular mountain backdrop.

I would recommend that you have a look at your website design as the amount of pop up adverts is putting me off leaving reviews. If these adverts continue to make the experience un likeable I won’t be leaving any more in the future. I have been literally tearing my hair out to submit this review.

Great Time to Work on Short Game

Course was in wonderful condition, throughout. Wished some tee boxes for the day had been set back more. Sand traps were in good shape too. Apart from a little slow up on two holes (ladies moved more quickly when they noticed us behind them), pace was excellent. If you can secure a round for under $40, it is a great short-game opportunity, while having fun with your buddies.

Jewel in the desert!

Mountain Shadows is so much fun and the greens are so tough! Friendly staff always make you feel like they are actually happy you are visiting. The food at Rusty’s is above average. Nice 2 hr and 15 minute round.

Tough greens, beautiful Par 3 Course

Very enjoyable par 3 course with as advertised tough undulating fast greens rolling away from Camelback Mountain. The pace of play was great until #8 when the twosome ahead of us ran into a very slow group of 4. We weren’t in a hurry, and enjoyed the round. It probably would have been a 2 hour 15 minute round if they had played at a normal pace.

Hard to avoid 3 putts on these greens.
