Mountain Shadows Resort Scottsdale

Highly rated Par 3 course for some holiday golf?

Not exactly. Tricked up greens, high high rough, indifferentbservice and bad burger at the end.

Wait, there’s more. People walked their dog on the course and another person just st out for a walk on the course. The only thong missing was a windmill and a clown. Played on Christmas Eve and Christmas, but never again. The greens were design to penalize you and long rough that would be appropriate for the US Open. Not fun and I was 3 over on the back 9.

Can not recommend and will not be back

Booked two on GolfNow but the course only had me scheduled for one. While at the course the other slot was still available so I figured I’d just book it but they would not allow me to and told me I’d have to pay the rack rate of double the price I had booked for. Paying almost $70 for an executive course is ridiculous, especially when it was available in GN for half the rate! And the attitude by one of the guys (one guy was very nice) in the pro shop was uncalled for!!

It is a challenging par 3 course in an attractive setting. The greens have many contours and slopes. The rough is about 3" deep and very thick. It is easy to loose your ball when it settles down in the rough. My only complaint is the greens were cut so short there were bare spots on many greens. Also there were areas of bare soil on the sides of tee blocks and were very slippery when wet.Both my wife and I slipped and fell on the mud while leaving the first tee but we were not hurt and able to finish our round.

Unfortunately I have not noticed it was a par 3 only golf course. It is good for a family time but not for golfers. Very nice views through the course. It is not even suitable as a short game practice since some of the greens are ridiculous with huge hills and valleys.

Bring your best putting game! Very friendly staff.

We were blown away at the changes, it is beautiful. We did have trouble finding the course with all the new admissions to the resort areas. Finally spoke with gate attendant....found small sign to get to the course.

Staff are the best, carts are excellent. The course is manicured perfectly. Really enjoyed golfing at Mountain Shadows once more

The Short Course is just that, with only par 3s - a change from years past. The course plays shorter and easier, the result of development in the area, but it's no pushover. The greens are tricky, with lots of slope, and the rough (at least in November) is lush and thick. Indeed, anything on the green is no guarantee of par.

Pace can be an issue - I was behind a slow couple and lost an hour overall waiting on them on every hole.

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

Hit my first hole in one on the 14th.

Of course I love this course

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! 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 !

GREAT DAY. WEATHER, COURSE AND STAFF WERE EXCELLENT.

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.

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!
