Mountain Shadows Resort Scottsdale

Mountain Shadows will be the site of my son's 1st Tee tournament in July. We decided to play a practice round to get to know the course and quickly discovered Mountain Shadows is a challenging foe!

Initially, my idea of playing an executive course wasn't something I was looking forward to until I heard that PGA Tour pros' play this course each winter and are lucky to break par.

The course was a rigorous test of steady and consistent shot making within a narrow fairway and course layout. We loved the challenge and the course required careful analysis, and thought provoking shot making.

The only disappointing parts of the experience were trying to play/concentrate while maintenance workers were running their loud machinery at every shot. Que comprendo? The play of some golfers were slower than turtles. Was thankful to have talk time with my son while the play was super slow.

Kudos to the group of 3 senior ladies who played ahead of us who were "ready golf girls" who reminded me of my grandmother and were hard to keep up with cause they played so quickly. Loved it! Next time we will try the refreshments, food and 19th hold features.

We will definitely be returning to this gem!

This was a perfect course to have my 7 yr old daughter play her first full round from tee to green.

I was a little disappointed that they had no food and beverage service on course or in the club house.

Let's keep it for ourselves, fantastic course in a great location.

Mountain Shadows is a very scenic, fun par 3 course with two short par 4's. You'll get a lot of excellent practice with all of the wedges and plenty of 160 yard shots to pretty small greens. The fairways, traps and greens are all in nice shape. The starter was exceptionally friendly and accommodating. I played in under two hours and hit lots of extra shots. It's just a nice, unpretentious place and provides great short game practice. My girlfriend is a beginner and Mountain Shadows will be perfect for her.

Friendly staff
Nice facilities
Terrific service
Excellent course conditions
Beautiful views
All around excellent experience and I recommend this course to all my friends.

Nice Par-3 course in North-Central Phoenix. Would play again if interested in playing a par-3 course. Had some nice views, but also several areas under repair, etc., that changed the course a bit from its intended layout.

I couldn't have asked for a better morning for my dad! No one behind us to rush us and the people in front of us were enjoying their father's day like we were!

Course was tough for me, because my long irons are a little off, but it was fun. The people where great and the price was good.

Great course to get a quick round, I play there often.

Bad experience. Upon arrival, I was informed there would be no beverage cart and that I would need to purchase drinks from the bar so that "I did not die on them." Three different times I was putting, and some other groups ball rolled up on my green. When I reached 14, there were 4 groups at the teebox waiting to hit. I walked off at that point.

Will not be going back...

This was an amazing course to play. Used almost all my irons and great slopes on those greens. Will be back ASAP.

Wow, what a great course. However, this course will never be the same. Major demolition was done on the resort. All of the buildings have been removed. All in all, there are still spectacular mountain views from every hole.

This course plays like a pitch and putt. All you need is a nine iron and a putter. I was over charged on my credit card !

we were the first off on this day and we completed the course in 2 1/2 hrs great weather.
Great short course excellent value

I played the back tees at just over 3000 yards. My wife played the red ladies tees. We were a twosome and finished in 2 1/2 hours and even waited for the slower twosome ahead of us on a few holes. I usually play a men's league at a nearby course but we wanted a quick round and I wanted to practice my short game. This course delivered on both counts. It's a great course. The greens are not easy but roll true. The staff was great. We had complimentary chips and salsa in the bar afterwards along with margaritas. A great finish to a great day. Definitely will be back. Course conditions are above average and better than some other nearby "championship" courses.

Golf was fun . Greens in good shape. Staff all friendly. Drinks were good.

This is the best customer service I have received in the valley. Awesome!!! Course was well maintained.

I wouldn't play the course a second time, not challenging enough for me.

I have been playing at Mt. Shadows for over 12 years...every weekend I can. The staff and the course have always been terrific!

This is a very challenging golf course especially the greens.
