Mountain Shadows Resort Scottsdale

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!!

The staff was great. The course needs rain, especially the greens. The location by the mountains was nice.

Pace of play was a little slow for a par 3 course.

Friends told me about Mtn Shadows, last November. Funny experience they told me, now, I say the same thing

to my friends visiting here.

Probably one of the best par 3 in USA.

Gorgeous place !

Less than 3000 yards, but believe me, bring your A game and check your putts..

Have fun and don’t tell others....chut. !!!

One of the best short courses... Fun and challenging...

Awesome course with fun greens and good condition. Price is about 220 for a 4 some. For a par 3 that is about 40 dollars overpriced making it a somewhat stressful round of golf. 3.5-4/5 stars. Would be 5/5 if the prices were not deadly.

Course needs to be rated so scores can be recorded for handicap.

Although some of the greens have extreme undulations you'd only see at a Putt-Putt facility, the course is great for honing short game skills - the longest hole is usually 190 with many in the 100 yard range. Fairways, fringe and greens were in great condition. Since it opened last year, it does seem that the service has deteriorated - check-in counter was curt, rangers were non-existant during the round and the beverage cart girl sat at hole 13 texting instead of driving the course. The restaurant service was also woefully understaffed and slow.

If it wasn't that jammed tee time, it is quite pleasant short course.

I wish GolfNow would have indicated the course is Short par three course, nothing had mentioned that...

Between the tee box and the green you have dirt, 3-t0 4-inch high rough and an imposable, rock hard green that you can’t hold. I doubt that Phil Mickelson could hold any of these greens even with one of his famous “flop shots”.

I thought an executive course was supposed to be fun. There is nothing fun about this course. If you like to play “stupid golf” this place is for you.

All of the good reviews have to be from employees or management’s family members.

Don’t waste your money.

Great place. Perfect for all types of golfers. Personal were great from pro shop to bar to the guys who take care of carts and tee times. Will definitely go again
