Reviews
Golf Shadow Mountain
The course is fun and beautiful. Very challenging. The greens are adulation and tough.
The Best Short Course in AZ
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 TINY course
Beautiful course but shorter that most short courses we've played on. Course undulations make for good chipping and putting practise.
Poor value for the price!
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!
Thank you for playing The Short Course & thank you for putting up with our dust as we finalized the golf shop and resort. The course is interesting and the views are beautiful. Fun for any golfer.
Fun For All
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.
Not a relaxing round
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.
Sad to see you go
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.
Very nice for an executive course
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.
Great course
It has been a couple of years since I played this course. I will be going back a lot.
Great course
Gorgeous course. Breathtaking views. Very friendly staff.
My review
It is a beautiful course. I did not care so much for the back nine holes under 100 yards.
The course is beautiful and so is the surrounding scenery.
We love the location and the speed of play and the Mountain Shadows staff.
Great executive course
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 Short Iron Course
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.
Great Course!
This is a great course for the beginner and intermediate golfer. More advanced golfers may also find it challenging. Many of the fairways are not as wide as many 6000-7000+ yard courses. So you better hit the ball fairly straight down the fairway. Also a great place to work on your short game.The price is also reasonable for this time of the year, the condition of the course is good to excellent, and the staff is friendly. The sand is a bit hard in several bunkers so be careful or your ball may get away from you if you hit it to hard. Pace of play can be slow during more crowded times of the day. My golf buddy and I play at this course nearly once a week.
Not a course for the avid golfer
This par three course has great views of the north side of Camelback Mountain, The look of the course at first is very impressive. the greens are like cart paths. super hard and very fast. the bunkers have NO sand in it. They will not hold any shot. I would not recommend this course unless you are a beginner. I drove over thirty minutes to have a terrible experience.
Closing down
No bev cart, was easy to tell that they were in closing mode
Get Sharp on a Par Three
An interesting challenge for a e par three. Accuracy required to play well.
Great course for beginners
My husband and son and I golfed here and really enjoyed the course and our day. The course was in really good condition and was perfect for my son and I who are just starting to golf. My husband enjoyed working more on his short game. It was perfect for all three of us.
Always Fun!
Never had a bad day at Mountain Shadows. About to have a complete makeover and hope to play again in 2017. Play it now while you can. No better executive course in the country.
Thank you for playing The Short Course. Great views and fun to play. Yardages vary from 75 yards to 195 yards.
