Great time

Greeted with a smile and had no worries the entire round. This little gem is perfect for someone that wants a very relaxed round on high quality turf.
I enjoyed every hole and will be thinking of this place as one of my favorites. Be ready to chill and enjoy a nice round with some of the best views in the city.

excellent warm up course

We just arrived in AZ from the snowy Eastern US and found this course perfect to warm up our golf prior to playing expensive courses. The course had some interesting holes, nice greens and nice view of mountain in the background.

Great little place.

This is not your average Executive course. Beautiful venue, amazing conditions, and difficult holes. We all loved the place. The pace of play was somewhat slow but it was worth it.

Fabulous value

This course is beautiful and in excellent condition. Staff are very friendly and competent. Bloody Mary's are wonderful. There were two of us and we were paired with a single who is a regular (Marge). She is a doll! They should pay her to golf with guests because she made our round so much fun!

Always a fun course

We have played here several times. Course is short but has some challenging holes. Great 18 holes to play when you don't have all day. There is the opportunity for most mid handicappers to use all the clubs in their bag. Challenging pin placements on Tuesdays. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Great views of Camelback Mountain.

Be careful

Being primarily a par 3 course I should have been done in under 3 hrs. Due to the amount of beginners ahead the pace was glacial! I guess it's the luck of the draw when you tee off. For me, I won't be coming back till "off season" when the crowds should be less. All in all a pretty course with georgeous views.

Challenging par 3's with Camelback Mtn views!

The most challenging executive golf course in Arizona... short game challenges rival any other course you'll play...
So much play that the greens are getting abused and difficult to maintain at a high level of condition. .
The Clubs staff and food quality are very good and enjoyable before and after your round of golf..

Perfect Location

Reasonable price, great place to take out of towners. Accessible for all skill levels as most holes are par 3, iron-worthy (prepare to work on your chipping and sand game.) Beautiful views and friendly staff, every time we golf it we wonder why we don't do it more often.

Good for the Short Game

Mountain Shadows is a petite Par 3 course tucked inside of a resort and residential area. The resort is being torn down and apparently will be rebuilt at sometime, but it has no effect on play at the course.

The course is 17 par 3s and 1 par 4 with small greens and no long shots. Playing the mid-tees, you may never unsheathe a wood if you're not a hacker. Though you have a lot of 80 to 130 yard shots, you can get a lot of work on your short game as hitting the greens isn't easy due to their size.

The course is in nice shape and the staff is friendly. If you're a single, you'll probably get paired up with some people who are just out for fun, so there will be no pressure.

I find it's an excellent place where you can go play 18 in a little over two hours during twilight hours. Add in the beauty of Camelback Mountain, that dominates the view, and a sundown round is a pleasure.

I'll certainly tee it up there again.

Scenic

A nice course with great scenery at the base of Camelback Mountain. A short but challenging exec course. Overall a narrow course, easy to lose balls.
