Mountain Shadows Resort Scottsdale

course is in pristine condition but cart path only since overseeding was just completed. lots of walk-ons so course was more crowded than online booking sight indicated. staff was super friendly. will definitely return.

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.

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

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.

I played 18 holes for $15. That should be enough said. I had low expectations when I set my tee-time and was happily wrong. This was one of the nicest, well maintained courses that I have ever played. It is a great little executive course. Not hard, but don't expect it to be a walk in the park. The staff was great, very friendly and helpful. It has easily become my new favorite course. Great place to relax, have a few beers and enjoy a great round of golf!

I can no longer play 18 hole regulation courses due to sun restrictions. This course satisfies my desire to play 18 holes while also presenting a good challenge. It is narrow and one needs to be quite accurate. It is an excellent test of one's short game. With an early tee time, my husband and I are usually done in 2 1/2 hours.

Just golfed this course again today, and the greens roll very very well now. And they are fast, and very curvy. Excellent challenge on the greens! Make sure you hit the practice green first....
This is a fun course, and from the tips, is a wicked challenge. The main problem I have with the layout is the hole length variation. If you play from the regular tees, its a LOT of 150 yd holes. If you play from the tips, its a LOT of 180 yd holes. I actually pre-plan play from different tees throughout a round to not get sick of a club all day....
The bunkers are clean, but packed. The fairways are mostly pure. The rough is THICK. Watch your balls closely, or you'll lose some. And like I said the greens are a treat. The par 3 17-hole is 240 yds, and just unforgettable.
I have rated this course difficult due to the extreme challenging greens. The tee locations make this course playable for all skill levels.

The course is in great shape and the staff is as awesome as advertised. The course is nestled in the mountains so have a camera ready. Unfortunately, pace of play may have you enjoying the views a bit too much. This is a gem.

Good course! Will play again! Hidden treasure! Check it out

I recently played this Mountain Shadows with some friends. As a new golfer, I thought it was a wonderful course. It helps you learn to play at a faster pace while still enjoying the game and the beautiful surroundings. The staff is very helpful and friendly.

The staff went out of their way to make you feel welcome and appreciated. Best staff at any course I've every played. Good place to practice your short game. In general, the course is in very good condition. The greens are true, but a little slow. The fairways were green with almost no "burned out spots". There was lots of grass "clumping" on the fairways, so they need better lawn mowers or more frequent cutting. Very good value!

Booked it for $12/person, friendly staff. Nice & laid back atmosphere. Love playing here, will be back soon.

The range staff was rude, my party of four was keeping pace with the party of four in front of us and a group of two behind us found them self's waiting. The range staff came to my group and became very rude. My group then picked up the pace and found our self's waiting for the group in front of us for the last nine holes.... I play every week and will most likely go and play at a course that may not be maintained as well; however that has a staff that is happy to have my business. We finished 18 in 3 hours and 10 minutes.

Great little executive course to sharpen your skills. Features all of the amenities of a full sized course (sand traps, approach shots, hazards) minus 1-2 wood/hybrid shots per hole. This shortens play time considerably but allows you to work on what really counts on the real course. I have learned that the driving range may be coming down and that the par 4's will be changed to par 3s in order to eliminate the first two holes should a sale go through to redevelop the property. This would be a loss for the course but unfortunately a necessity for the course's survival.

I've played this course several times. I really enjoy the view. And for a beginning golfer this course has everything you need. It's great for iron play!

We played on a Saturday morning and the course was in fine condition, greens well maintained, fairways were very nice, and the pace of play was pretty good, only had to wait a couple of times for the groupo ahead to clear the green. Our only complaint was the crowning on the tee boxes. Several of the tees were quite noticeably crowned, making it hard to find a spot to tee off where the ball was the same level as your feet. The tee boxes need to be leveled. Otherwise, it was an enjoyable round.

Great staff, friendly and informed
Quick 18 executive, beautiful setting, well maintained
Definitely recommended

Played a round with my 11 year old grandson for the first time. We had a wonderful experience. The layout, conditions, staff, play time, scenery, all combined for a wonderful day. Thank you!!
