Mountain Shadows Resort Scottsdale

Played with a buddy who hadn't played in a while. Great for short game and putting refresher. Fun course with some challenging greens. Great staff.

5 stars, great course, layout was tough, nice greens, could have been faster. 5 stars... real nice

Fun layout of par 3's. Greens are is great shape but tricky. Great views .

First time playing, got a hot rate on GolfNow. Lots of gravel/dirt between tee box and green which was not great for a beginner golfer who didn’t make the greens. Nice layout for a par 3 and good conditions. Nice houses around the course and views of the mountains. I would come back for the right price. We played early in the am and the tee was wide open which was great.

For an executive course, this is probably as good as it gets. The course conditions are superior, the views of Camelback Mountain and Paradise Valley are spectacular and it all feels like you're on an exclusive course. The only draw back is the confusing arrangement of tee boxes around the back corner of the course (holes 13 -16). Maybe it was set up that way just for the day I played, but tee boxes more logical for 15 were being borrowed for the 14th tee tips. Nevertheless, the course is very appealing to the eye and couldn't be a better platform for those working on their iron game. You have a good mix of short holes and intermediate holes to test the full range of irons. Because it is an executive course, the greens are tricked up to make it a real test to get your tee shot into the right area to hold the pin. Misfire a bit and you are tested to keep it a two putt.

First disappointed when we understand it is part 3. The course was looking so in shape than we decide to play. It is probably one of the most well maintained course we played up today. Every green are specials, challenging the best putters . We did enjoy the view all around the course. My wife took hundreds photos.

Very fast perfect greens. All par 3s but they are challenging. Grass was the greenest I’ve played on. Fun little putting hole was unique and difficult.

Had played this course before but they re-did the entire place and opened about a year ago.

It was in fantastic shape. Plush and green.

Only issue was even from the tips you only use a couple of clubs in your bag. Holes are either 160+ or around 100 yds. Wish they had a better variety so you use more clubs.

But it is well worth it if your short game needs work. Its very challenging and for sure...... not easy.

Beautiful course in great shape, all par three but great views and shots!

A great executive course that has very challenging greens. So much fun! We walked it easily even though it was in the 90s. Very well cared for and scenic as well.

This was our first time on the revamped "Short Course". Par 3's sounds pretty easy, but the greens are very tricky and fast. Fairways and tee boxes were in excellent condition. Grass in the rough is quite long and very lush...chips were difficult to anticipate. Many of the holes on the new course are quite hilly...not easy for old knees, but the middle holes still circle a water area that is very pleasant.

New layout is challenging but excellent course conditions make it fun to play. Miss a shot and you pay for it . Greens are undulating and difficult to read but they are true.

This course is absolutely beautiful. Very stylish and well thought out. Bring your A game because this course will challenge your short game for certain. We had a wonderful time and we will return for sure.

This was the first time to play the course since it was modified. The old course was interesting, challenging even though it was short, enjoyable, and a place where Rookies and Pro’s used to go to sharpen their short game. The new course is “shortened” (how the heck can you make it shorter?). Answer: Well, to make room for a few more $2-4 million dollar “Condos”. But, they tried to make up for the 85 yard (tips) pars 3’s by adding a few more mounds and traps, woopie. My suggestion to anyone reading this is to play the course one last time, for nestagalia purposes, before they “shoot” the course and put it out of its misery, it won’t last long. Obviously, Big Money took over and they are more concerned about profits than leaving the City of Paradise Valley with a legacy. Oh, I almost forgot, and very important. Good luck trying to find the entrance to the course. What a joke.

Really wasn’t expecting much from a par 3 course, BUT was pleasantly surprised!! Lots of up and down and undulating greens. Greens, fairways, tee boxes and bunkers were in excellent shape. All at the base of Camelback Mountain. Lot’s of fun! Will definitely be a repeat customer!!
