Fun course!

Short course was in great shape and I was impressed with the fast play. All holes were par 3 and with the undulating greens presented a very pleasant challenge! Had so much fun we played 36 holes in just about 31/2 hrs!

I felt scammed. There was insufficient notice that this was a par 3 course!!! Only the word "executive" which I didn't see. You should have more prominent wording

We describe the course with the word executive, Par 54, and our yardage of a 2,310 yard course. We're a fun, fast course with the best view in town. Plenty of challenge and you can finish in 2.5 hours.

Great Fun!

The course is a lot of fun...the views are great and the staff are absolutely a joy to be around. The short course, with betting hole 17 1/2 is a great wedge and short iron test. The greens weren't great coming out of overseed but I've played here before when they're fantastic. Food is really good and the entire property is wonderful!

The best birthday round of golf ever!

The best birthday round of golf ever! In years past I would play The old course once a week. During the interim I’ve had many surgeries and am now getting back into the game. This course has changed in so many ways I can’t count them, it is nothing short of fabulous. It’s an entirely new course although a short par three , It has many challenges, enjoyable challenges with the same wonderful views. I can’t wait to get back !

Nicely Renovated

This was our first time playing Mountain shadows since it’s a big renovation. The golf shop a great staff are wonderful and it’s fun to have an 18 hole three parcourse to work on our irons and short woods. Course was a bit dry and may be due to upcoming reseeding. Lots of mounds but made it fun. Got a Golf Now hot deal which really made experience great.

Beautiful scenery and friendly staff

We got a great rate through Golf Now and played 18 holes in about 2 1:2 hours. The staff was very friendly and the golf course was in great shape. You can’t find another course that offers the fantastic views of Camelback Mountain! The food at Thr Hearth was delicious!! We will be back!

Beautiful Course

The staff was very friendly and took the time to talk to us. Encouraged us to take a walk around the hotel to see what is available. The resort is very nice as well as the course. The course is all par 3. Situated north of Camelback mountain with beautiful views. The cart girl was around 3 times and provided cups of ice for the water bottles that were provided for us in the cooler. Will play this course again.

Good Short course

A great little par 3 course, challenging enough for a mid handicapper, and short enough to please a beginner

Short Stop

Got a golf itch that needs to be scratched without a major time commitment ? The Short course at Mountain Shadows will more than scratch that itch. Sure , 18 par threes can be a walk in the park, but your iron play, short game and putting better be in synch because the Short course is long on challenge and any tap in birdies will be prized during your post round quaff at Rusty's . And with the extra time saved you will make that ever present "honey do " list a lot lighter by the end of the day.

Like the old better

Very well maintained, but not marked anywhere for yardage off the tee boxes. Sprinkler heads have no markings. The new layout is confusing at times especially on holes 13-15. The greens are quite tricky, think it’s just not a good $value for the price, even if a resort course.

Thank you for joining us. With all par 3's, all the tee boxes are marked with yardages and yes, holes 13-15 are different. Something you've never seen before. Play it once and you've got it. So have a fun, fast round with the great view.
