Like the Course

I liked the course but the greens were furry, not manicured well and slow.

Beautiful day on a fun course

We really enjoyed our round, and were fortunate to golf with a terrific gent. Greens are fast, so challenged to pay attention. Hit my best game in this past year. General grounds condition is 8 out of ten.
Snowbirds just arrived, and once again wanted a good 18 hole course to start off our winter season.
Went for late lunch,food was excellent, and we are very fussy. Thank you .
See you again soon.

Excellent Course

The best course I have played in a long time. The course was beautifully manicured. The fairways were tight requiring accuracy. The greens were medium to small, very fast but smooth as glass, very few unrepaired ball marks. Sand traps were well placed and held loose sand that actually played like a sand trap instead of a cement slab. The vistas on the north side of Camelback mountain were awesome. Will play this course again. The personnel were very friendly, helpful and exuded a happy spirit. We were treated like royalty. Great, Great, Great.

Well groomed Course

I have to say, Ive played this course a few times now and I enjoy it every time. For an executive course it's quite challenging and very well kept - from fairways to greens its a pleasure to play.

Really Great Time

Mtn Shadows exec 18 is in tremendous shape. A great play to play if you're looking to sharpen up your short game, and play 18 holes at a good place. The staff is very friendly. Overall one of the best golf experiences I've had since the summer began. Can't wait to go back and play it again!

nice little executive course

Despite recent overseeding the course was in very nice shape. Well maintained and although fairly short, the small greens and bunkers challenge you to hit it straight. Nice mountain views. The houses are pretty tight to the course though. Very enjoyable.

Nice

The golf course was beautiful and in great condition. It was quite hot this day and sadly they did not have a cart lady to bring around drinks/snacks. I don't remember there being a cart lady my previous times either. The pace of the course was great..no one riding our tails and the staff was pretty great too! Overall...I really enjoyed this course!!! But would LOVE it more if they had a drink/food cart!

Very Nice Short Course

Mountain Shadows is an excellent short course with beautiful views. The fairways and greens were in excellent condition. First time my wife has played in a while and she loved it. You can put your driver away and get lots of practice with your irons. Much better than standing in one place at a driving range. There are no food or beverage carts so keep that in mind. They have a nice grill and you can purchase drinks and snacks at the pro shop. I will definitely go back. Very relaxing.

Beautiful course

Beautiful course and staff was really friendly, wish we could get the drivers out more though. Pretty short course, only 2 par 4's, rest are par 3's. Really well kept course and the views are awesome. If you want work on your irons this is the course for sure.
