Mountain Shadows Resort Scottsdale

Great spot to hone your skills, don't be fooled thinking this is an amateur course as it's challenging. Tough pin placements and you can get in trouble quick if you miss a shot. Love this course and it will be on my regular list to hone my short game.

The redesigned course destroyed the original Mountain Shadows course. They replaced the fairways with gravel leaving only the tee boxes and around the greens with grass. Being the redesigned course is new, the greens are very slow and bumpy the little grass left around the greens is lumpy. I would not recommend to anyone to play this course for at least another year.

Really had an enjoyable round on this new course! Nice to be able to complete 18 holes in about 2.5 hours. Great layout and plenty of challenges. Staff was fantastic and pre and post time spent at Rusty's Bar and looking around this new property added to the great day. Will certainly be back soon and let everyone know of this little jewel in the desert.

This was my first time playing mountain shadows after the renovation. Didn't have much expectations going in but overall it was a very disappointing experience. Staff was extremely aggressive when I first arrived, the old lady at the front desk was rude when I asked if there was a discounted rate for people who live in the community. Greens were in terrible condition and the overall design of the course was overkill. I get they try to make it a quirky par 3 course but they tried way too hard with the layout and slopes of the greens. Not worth $60! Even for a so called "resort course". The only bright spot of the round was the cart girl who was very friendly and had a good variety of beer. Also, the clubhouse had a great view with billards table to play on after your round.

The recently reborn Short Course at Mountain Shadows has one thing missing from most golf experiences these days--it's just fun to play. Suitable for all skill levels, with great food and drink at the resort to boot. I played with my beginner wife who had a great time and we completed the round in less than two hours. Highly recommended!

The course is fun and beautiful. Very challenging. The greens are adulation and tough.

Wow - totally blown away by the remodel to Mountain Shadows! They did an outstanding job recreating the holes, while adding a bunch more character and style. It was in excellent shape, and the staff there was very friendly and excited about the future the property holds. Be sure to check out the hotel there, too, as it matches the beauty of the course - simply stunning. Great courses to play if you're sneaking out of work early, are with the family, or are just looking for a fun and challenging round that you can play in 2.5 hours. This is going to be a regular stop for my group! Great job and congrats to everyone involved in the remake of this club - you did an excellent job! Perfect blend of retro and modern in a golf course.

Beautiful course but shorter that most short courses we've played on. Course undulations make for good chipping and putting practise.

Other reviews were glowing so our foursome's expectations were high. From the minute we drove onto the property they dwindled. Construction everywhere, pro shop was a disaster, dust/dirt/detours, and for $50/person this was very disappointing! Course was interesting and the views were nice, but not spectacular. Tee boxes were top-notch but the greens were terrible for this price - bumpy and slow! And the fringe was gouged - mowed very unevenly.

With these conditions the fair price would have been more like $30 - $35. We walked and it's a very walkable layout with interesting holes - a few blind shots into gimmicky greens but, hey that's golf and a few surprises are OK. The staff tried valiantly but the construction & conditions were unacceptable for that price. We won't be coming back and we won't be recommending this place to anyone else!

My. Shadows is a vintage course that has been completely redone over the past two years. It is an executive course with extremely challenging hole selections, rolling terrain, and slick and undulating greens. This course is fun for beginners and a real challenge for those concerned with their end score. Beautiful scenery is a highlight of this course. This an amazing remake of a tired but beautiful and classic old course.

I am an avid golfer and have golfed every kind of course you can imagine.

But this course is the most unusual course I have golfed.

First of all, I have to say that the course was in great shape and the staff was friendly.

It turned out that going from par 3 to par 3 was not very relaxing, it felt very rushed.

And only 1 cart per foursome, which I get, but it was very confusing about who would drive versus walk. And cart path only left the driver putting last.

And the black tee box markers all looks the same, which was also confusing.

Lastly, there is no shade.

I love the concept, but actually golfing the course was not enjoyable.

Excellent value for this par 3 course. Sad to see it go while renovations are happening over the next 2 years. Missing cart girl puts a little damper on the day.

Nice facilities and course, especially for an executive course. It has been our experience that executive courses are not at the level of above average 18 standard courses. However, Mountain Shadows is! It was a fun place to play, and we will be back.

It has been a couple of years since I played this course. I will be going back a lot.

Gorgeous course. Breathtaking views. Very friendly staff.

It is a beautiful course. I did not care so much for the back nine holes under 100 yards.

We love the location and the speed of play and the Mountain Shadows staff.

Course is is good shape- play soon they close at end of May for 18 months due to construction.

Really enjoy the staff there-

Great little executive course! Staff is exceptionally friendly. Greens and sand were dry but the fairways were in great shape. A lot of sand, but a few nice water holes that are more challenging than they appear.
