LA at Rush Hour

This is an excellent executive par 3 course in the heart of Paradise Valley. The course conditions were excellent, the views were spectacular, but the pace of play was horrendous. This was a Sunday afternoon with a tee time of 3:20 pm. I ventured out with the thought of working on my iron play, expecting I would have the course nearly to myself. Wrong!! Play was so backed-up that it became more akin to a "walk in the park" chatting with the Canadian couple I was joined with than a round of 9-hole golf. I spent more time hearing about this nice couple's lives and careers and plans while waiting 10 plus minutes at each tee box for the foursomes ahead of us to play on, than anything about my iron game. I was so unfocused and out of rhythm by the time i got to hit at each hole that I never found my stroke the entire round. Oh well, I'll just reserve this course for the dead of summer when its 110 in the shade and no one willing to endure the heat.

Great Day

A friend and I had not golfed for some time and thoroughly enjoying this course. The staff was very friendly, no waiting on the range or putting green and 18 holes in three hours

Golf experience

Cute coarse, mostly short par3s in really nice condition.
Staff were not friendly and very arrogant, apparently
Did not think a $5.00 tip to clean my clubs was enough.......

Great challenging course with awesome views!

We play this course periodically and always enjoy it. The fairways are narrow so target shooting is definately a goal.

Garden par 3

Really enjoyed this little par 3 course. It also had 2 short par 4's. Great facility to sharpen up your short game. The course was very cozy, set against Camel Back Mtn. A little brook ran through the back 9 that really made the visual. I saw at least a dozen rabbits that didn't hop off until two or three feet away. A couple of holes over water didn't get into my head as much as other courses because of the calming effect of the scenery. Grass was lush, water was clear and clean, and greens properly maintained. Will play this course many times to come! Good show, Marriott!

Small Course Big Appeal

I've played Mountain Shadows several times and always enjoy the course and the staff. Typically a lesser price than other courses during high season but never disappointing. The course was in great shape and although it is small, it has it's tough shots. A great pace that lets you key in on your short game.

Beautiful course

First time playing here and right off the bat we hit the putting green only to be putting next to Larry Fitzgerald and Patrick Peterson of the Cardinals, once we got going it was a totally fun and relaxing time with an amazing view. Very easy to play with amazingly fast greens.

Great Course

Greens were perfect and fast.

One day they'll level the tee boxes a bit more.

But fun course.

Long time valley course. With par being 56 it is a great text for low and high handicaps.

Incredibly small and tight course!

Not only is this course incredibly slow with retirees, but you need to be constantly aware of balls flying at you and over your head! This course is ok if your aware of all of this before booking! Id say this is more of a par 3 course, since 90% of the 18 holes are in fact, par 3. The clubhouse is very dated and overdue for renovations. Id say the best part of playing this course, is the stunning mountain views and scenery. Just my honest opinion.

Marvelous course for short game

My only minor problem was a frost delay due to low temps. Staff was most accommodating.

Really enjoyable round of golf...

This golf course is a compact wonder. It just is a fun couple of hours using almost every club in your bag.

Beautiful surroundings and nothing but dark green grass on every fairway. The greens were great, but a bit too hard for my high lob shots to stay on.

You have to try this course at least once.
