Mountain Shadows Resort Scottsdale

One of the few Phx area golf courses with genuine fluffy white sand.

This is a nice course to work for n iron play and putting. Don’t think a par 3 could be such a nice course. You might not use a driver but all your irons can be used. We played from the back tees to make it longer and a bit more fun. It was all that and more!

Everything was amazing from the carts to the staff and the layout of the course everything was beautifully green and landscaped and mowed perfectly. All the desert landscape around it was amazing. The views are some of the best that I’ve seen in Arizona so far. I played over 1200 games of golf in my life in Arizona this is one of the best looking courses I’ve seen in a long time. I am a Native of Phoenix born and raised 52 years. Highly recommend you play this par three course. If you can hit the green it’s still very challenging greens.

I play a lot of golf in fancy places. This was a “fit in a few in a short amount of time” but it turned out to be the one I am recommending. Great views, interesting holes, some challenge. I’m coming back and bringing friends.

Great place to work on the short game. Teed off very early and beat the crowd. I can see this place getting ‘stacked and packed’ easily. Staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. Yes the greens are tricky and you will not have a flat putt on any hole. Accept it and move on. Overall a great spot, but can get pricey.

Beautiful course, excellent kept grounds, great staff and service.

On the golf now. app it characterized this course as a 5400 yd course. It was far from that. It was 17 par 3's and one par 2 or about 1200 yds. Not what i expected.. The pin placments were very hard, set up for an afternoon ski s game

I realize this is a short course but it was unimpressive other than some of the views. I’m unsure why a par 3 would be attached to a resort but go figure. The layout on the course was bizarre especially the trainwreck that was 14 and 15. The design here felt like an afterthought. I paired up with another guy like myself that never realized this was a pitch and putt especially since it was pricier than a lot of courses in Phoenix and the west valley. Guess they have to pay for the views somehow!

Great game. Challenging greens, will definitely play again.

This beautifull and challenging par 3 course will stimulate your senses as well as raise your competitive spirit. Thoughtfullly designed by the original architect, it has been re-thought and improved by its modern day proprietors .

Fun short course. Very undulating greens are a challenge to putt, but a lot of laughs. Rough moderate...good practice getting up and down. If you are a beginner and can't get off the tee, this little gem might be a little frustrating. Greens a little thin in spots but roll true. Overall this course provides great practice for your short game. A lot of fun and you can play it in less than 3 hours. And at $35 during Phoenix Open week the price can't be beat.

Hilly,

The greens make the course tough. Pray for good pin locations

Views are awesome.

Plan for a 3 hour round.

You still have to hit and put and ocassionly chip..

Enjoyable

Friendly staff catered to every request and question we had. Even offered free coffee before we started the round.

Lovely course for a quick Par 3. It was not busy so

I was done playing in 2 hours.

I enjoyed my round at the Short Course at Mountain Shadows. It's perfect if you're looking for a quick 18 holes.

The new course layout was excellent. Totally different from the last time we played in 01/15.

Although the grass around the greens was somewhat long, it proved to be a challenge. The greens were quite fast and I don't think there were any level areas of the greens.A couple of the greens were a little unfair as far as sloping was concerned. The shared green on 13 & 14 with the sand trap in the middle of the green was very unique. We came to work on our short game and definitely had some challenges. Would definitely would play again and recommend it to anyone.

Fun

My GPS was incorrect

Greens could be a little flatter
