Mountain Shadows Resort Scottsdale

PV's little jewel of a GREAT GC! Always enjoy playing there. Thank God all parties have come around and resolved there issues. Would have lost another GREAT GC since it beginnings(1957).

Mountain Shadows is a gem of a course. Some would say it is a good place to practice your short game, as if real golf is only played on a championship course. I would say that Mountain Shadows is a great place to soak in the pleasures of golf's short game. There is much to enjoy here. The backdrop of Camelback Mountain and other views of Paradise Valley reveal why this is such a coveted address. Tees, fairways, greens and bunkers are well maintained. The course has a nice variety of hole layouts. Most are about 170 yards but there are plenty of elevated bunkers that protect the greens and require players to make an accurate shot. Even the short holes require skill, placing the greens behind beautifully designed water hazards. Some would tell you to leave your driver behind but if you drive less than 240 yards and can hit it straight, there are three holes where you might pull off your head cover.
When I played early in the morning, the pace was brisk. I left wanting more. You couldn't ask much more of a short course.

Great Executive course and very well kept for this time of year in Arizona

Great value, friendly staff, well-maintained. 4-5 very short holes punctuate more difficult par 3's and a couple 4's on a hilly executive course requiring accuracy and putting skill. Fun!

These guys didn't take the summer off. Great condition of the entire course, and the greens are even nice. Lots of deals and promotions, check the website, its a good one.

My wife and I play Mountain Shadows almost once a week, it
Is her favorite course. We love the staff there, they are always friendly. The course is always in beautiful shape, with some of the best views of camelback mountain you can get.

This is the second time I played this course and enjoyed it both times. It has some chaallenging holes and scenery is great.

Great short course great view of camel back mountin

the course was well maintained and was a great golf experience

Mountain Shadows is an excellent executive course that lies in the shadow of Camelback Mountain, right in the heart of Paradise Valley. It's a great short course, full of strong par3s that always have really challenging pin placements. The course was in great shape when I played this summer, including the tee boxes, the fringe, whatever fairways there are, and the greens weren't that bad at all. The rates plummet when the Arizona heat kicks in, so take advantage while you can, shooting par here would be very impressive. It's well maintained and the views in the heart of PV are conducive to a solid mind state, it's just a great place to work on your game,

Not a long course...executive in length...but just beautiful. Greens were nice and fairways were also. Not very busy so we played quickly on a hot day. Loved the mountain backdrops on some shots. A real good chance to work on your iron game. A great deal for the dollar.

A very beautiful and short course. Gives you a great chance to work on your iron game and enjoy a putting challenge on each green. Definitely worth the play...sailed around in just over 3 hours...no waiting. Will be back again.

Charming executive course which winds through the Paradise Valley neighborhood. 2 par 4.s and lots of challening par 3's. I played in under 2 hours without braking a sweat,

the starter pat is one of the best people at a Course i have ever seen

I had a great time playing at this course. The only downside is the really expensive houses near the course.

This is still one of the best value rates around - grass is kept great, greens are well maintained, rate is acceptable, length is lacking but green difficulty offers a challenge that should keep you coming back for more!

Very well maintained shorty course. Greens roll great and has a good variety of par 3 distances off the tee. Almost made a hole in one on the fly today... sorry about the chunk outta the cup.

Great course and long par 3's but too many par 3's.

I played with a 7:00 AM tee time. Some of my observations.

Pros:

-Pristine condition. The grass was thick and green, bunkers were dry and fluffy, greens were beautiful and rolled true.

-Good challenge. This is an executive course but the Par 3's had some well placed bunkers and long holes to make it interesting.

-Excellent water holes. There is a portion of the course built around a series of ponds and a creek. Truly beautiful and relaxing.

-The views. The red rocks of Camelback Mountain loom over the south facing holes. It is breathtaking. The rugged beauty of the Phoenix mountains face the north and west.

-Value. I was able to get an amazing deal on this course through Golfnow.

Cons:

-The only thing I can think of is the attendant on the last hole cleaned our clubs without asking first which could present an awkward situation for some people.

My round here was extremely relaxing and pleasant. I highly recommend!

Fast with challenging greens. Very nice location.......
