Any Joe Cool would love to play here!

I love the rock and roll music playing in the bag drop area, it's what keeps me coming back!! It's not hard rock or anything that would give you a headache, it's just great oldies that gets you in the mood to golf. The holes are in great condition and helps you practice your short iron shots. The views are stupendous and the staff is "the Bomb" I would play here everyday if I could :o)

Beautiful executive course - centrally located. A+

My wife and I always enjoy playing Mountain Shadows. It's close to home, very nicely maintained and a great way to get in a short 18 holes in less than 3 hours. There are some really fun holes, including a few over water. It's a terrific place to practice your short game, or when you don't have time to play a full course.

Great place to work on the short game

This is a small executive course with mainly Par 3's. The greens are superb and the course looks great. I enjoy playing here when I want to work on my short game.

Great course, beautiful setting

I love this executive course. It sits at the bottom of Camelback Mountain, so it has incredible views. It's really well maintained (and I really hope they're successful in renovating the hotel to make this a hip mid-century modern golf resort), and the staff are friendly. The course is easy, but narrow, so it's quite challenging if you have a tendency to hook or slice the ball. You can easily play 18 holes in 3-3.5 hours. Highly recommend for a quick and enjoyable game.

Love the length of the course.

After having a horrible accident on the course last November,
my friend and I loved being able to play the entire course.
We feel that it is the perfect length for our game at this time and
the course, staff, views have been such a joy to experience.

Nice Fairways, Quick Greens, Awesome Views

This course is in great shape and the greens ran pretty true and quick. Fairways are nice but the rough is deadly......This course is not limited on the views!

Well maintained, fun little Exec course

Staff was very friendly when arrived; helpful and accommodating. Course is in very good shape, beautiful views of Camelback Mtn, and well maintained. Course is in the foothills behind the former Host Marriott hotel just off of Lincoln Drive in Paradise Valley, which creates many uphill and downhill shots. There were two par 4's among a long string of par 3's, some as short as 70 yards. Some of the T-box par 3 yardages, especially the short ones, seem to be shorter than listed, so be careful. Have fun and relax.

Great golf day

My wife and I played 18 holes, a unique experience for my wife who is a very casual golfer. Play was a little slow at times but we thoroughly enjoyed the golf experience.

Terrific scenery

Two ladies on cart 102. Metal rack for cooler was broken

I bumped into it several times because it stuck out. I have a bruise on my hand about 3 inches in diameter. I iced it from hole 9
I also have one on my side thigh that is large, after 24 hours swelling still there and very tender.
Not acceptable!

Nice 3 par challenge

My wife and I enjoyed this beautiful course at the base of Camelback Mountain in Scottsdale, AZ. I didn't need a driver due to the mainly par 3 course, but I certainly enjoyed the views and the challenges of the course. If I am in the area again I will definitely plan on this course again. A good warm up for longer course.

Course in very good condition.

The course is in excellent condition.
The course is consists on mainly par 3 holes and very similar in between them. You can play this course with only 4 clubs!
That being said it's a very good course if your looking to practice your short game.

great fill in for an open spot during our vacation

The staff was extremely friendly and curtious. My wife played the forward tees and I played from the rear tees. This gave both of us a chance to work on long approach shots with long irons. We played as a two some and had to wait but the saving grace was that they have some shade on the course, which made it tolerable. We would play the course again when we return to the area.

Ready for overseed

Course was not very accommodating as the fairways had been scalped down. Greens were not consistent.

The best executive course in Phoenix

Great course for a quick round to challenge all aspects of your iron game and putting. Don't let the par 56 fool you. With mostly par 3's ranging from 90 to 200 yards with small well maintained greens guarded by strategically placed bunkers and/or water, this course will give you all you can handle. Sometimes a layup on a par 3 is the better part of valor.
