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.

Too tight

Homes too close. Grass too long. Traps too crusty. Really crammed together.

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.

Great course for practicing your short game.

With mostly par 3's, it is a great place to practice your short game. Sounds easy, but the water keeps you on your toes. The course is always in great shape.

Disappointed

We did not know the (18) hole course had only (9) holes available. Range was not open. This time it was disappointing and would have selected a different course if we were advise of the course condition. We would not recommend at this time. We played prior and liked the course otherwise.

Best Executive Course

This delightful course is fun, scenic, and in great shape. Mostly par threes, it can be demanding at times requiring good distance control and a sharp short game. The greens were dynamic, rolled well, and guarded by many well placed bunkers making it a fun challenge for good players. The immaculate fairways and mostly open areas make it a great place for beginners as well. I had no crowds, but played on a weekday. It's rare to find an executive that is in great shape and so much fun to play.

Not your typical executive course

Great mix of holes, from short to long. Green complexes and pin positions made this a very challenging round. We enjoyed it so much, we went back the next day and played 36. Can't say enough about the friendliness of the staff, totally awesome.
The only negative I can say, is the tees leave a lot to be desired for levelness. There are considerable humps in all of the tees.
