Mountain Shadows Resort Scottsdale

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!!

Got GolfNow deal..........played in 2 3/4 hours, greens all the same...SLOW !!!! Always fun here....and challenging..harder than it looks. Great short game workout

Great course to gone accuracy, includes 16 par 3s. Very well maintained, and challenging. Great experience.

It is an excellent course to practice one's short game or like myself to take my 7 year old grandson out for some great play at a great price! He loved it and we have been around the valley doing only 9 holes and he thought it was terrific to play a full 18! Great time to go as well as there were not a lot of people out and we could take our time learning course management and all about mulligans! Would definitely recommend it!

Nestled near Camelback Mountain this course is in a beautiful setting. You will meet polite fellow golfers with pleats and ironed shirts. The staff is super accommodating and friendly so you feel welcome and at home. The variety of holes will hone your short game and also test the longer clubs in your bag. This course is one of the reasons they call it Paradise Valley. Golf well and often. Jimmy

The course has narrow fairways and small greens with sandtraps and water on many holes around the greens.The course is always fun to play.The sandtraps were rather hard but everything else was fine.

This executive course lies in the Camelback Mountains and is by far the best (short course) I've played in the State (16 par 3's and 2 par 4's). Well maintained, lots of sand, some beautiful water holes and wonderful views.
