Mountain Shadows Resort Scottsdale

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

Colorado Couple on a Long Weekend. This "Short Course" is so much fun. The inclines and angles make this deceivingly challenging. The course plays quickly and the views are stunning. Well run course with a staff that is A+++++. One of the best parts of the course is the "CHALLENGE BET" putting challenge between the 17th and 18th holes. Highly recommend this course.

Great executive course; too much gravel between and around the fairways. Money may have been saved, but not good for errant shots.

Challenging holes and beautifully maintained. I truly enjoyed myself.

A par 3 course that’s beautifully manicured. Pin placements were fair but greens were tricky. Course is hard to find if you’re new. I had to valet park as parking was limited. Great place to work on your short game but a little pricey for such a par 3.

Every hole is a par 3. Beautuful, well maintained course. Great for practicing your short game. I played by alone later in the day and the starter told me I could play a 4 some by my self meaning I could play 4 balls on every hole.

It’s all new in the old course setting. The BEST EXECUTIVE GOLF COURSE. COSTA a little more than the “old” and worth the price!

The greens were highly terraced. Very abnormal plateaus. Not a way to learn real golf. Might be fun for a non-golfer from the resort but not good practice for a full course.

I have played the course about 14 times,I find

this allows me to concentrate on my iron game

and putting.I have lived in Scottsdale and understand

that peak season finds most courses overbooking

to some degree, this was the worst.

Without going into length, the Resort manager

happen to come out to the compact area near

the 1st tee I asked why xy&z were taking place.

It was the most disrespectful reply with out

curse words one could have heard!

Course looked very nice but every green was Rock Hard. You could not hold any green with any shot. The greens themselves were way overly undulating. There was no way to get near the hole except with luck. It was only worth maybe 1/2 the price I paid. Pace of play much too slow also. Sand traps were in bad shape in that no one ever seemed to rake them out. Skip this one as there are many other better courses out there. Sorry to have to give this bad review.

This is not an easy par 3 golf course.

The greens are protected by huge mounds and bunkers. The desert areas are hard packed sand, so if you miss the grass, your ball will roll out of sight.

The rough was 4 inches thick. The greens very fast with lots of undulations and 4 foot drops in many cases over the length of the greens.

I have a 7 handicap and I've played many challenging golf courses. I thought I liked a challenging golf course. But this golf course wasn't fun for me. I don't know who it will appeal to.

Great place to work on your Short game and certainly plenty challenging. Grass is in great shape as were the bunkers. Staff were very friendly and supportive. Good value for the money.

Short course charging full course money. Hard to navigate your way around. Pin placements were difficult. So many better courses in the area to play for less.
