Mountain Shadows Shines

From the driving range to the 18th Green you are surrounded in the beauty of the mountains including the camel. You can and should use every club in your bag.

Very good Staff, well maintained course, Great Scenery, Lots of challenges.

The course is a short 18-hole circuit. The holes are often challenging with well placed bunkers and water hazards. There is only one hole worth using a driver on, the rest is all Irons/fairway woods. The carts were a little outdated, but everything else was so great that it didn't matter. We were greeted at the car, a staff member took our clubs and cleaned them and set them in the cart without a fee, or even being asked. The grounds are very well maintained, the views are incredible, it was a great experience overall. The Pro Shop seems to not be as well stocked with gear, but then again - we dont normally get our gear at the Pro Shops anyway.

Little gem

We found ourselves looking for an executive course to play while on a bit of downtime in Phoenix. This little gem has a bunch of history and it's easy to see how at a point in time it was a desired place to be...(former Marriott Resort, rooms since closed, now Golf and Tennis only). The scenery is gorgeous and a relatively easy course to work on your short game. I'd play again and really enjoyed the experience.

Short but not easy

Could have played quicker but the pace was set by those in front. Pick your clubs carefully as target is the challenge and long could be into the next tee box - it is a compact layout. Greens roll true and make you work to drop it in - no give me's here. We had a fun day and enjoyed the challenge of this shorter course. Bring your short game and leave the driver at home.

A scenic course surrounded by homes. Bring your short game or hone your short game at this course.

Alot of short holes . 75 to 130 yards. Well maintained but used heavily. Your ability to focus on the shot is crucial on this course, Tight spacing of the holes and a fair amount of activety( maintenance crews and other golfers).

A REALLY GREAT EXECUTIVE COURSE. THE BEST I HAVE PLAYED.

THE COURSE IS TIGHT. ACCURACY VERY IMPORTANT. GREENS ARE FIRM AND VERY FAST. COURSE MANAGEMENT IS VERY IMPORTANT, ESPECIALLY WITH SHOTS ONTO THE GREENS IF YOU MISS ON YOUR TEE SHOT. GREAT WEDGE AND PUTTING PRACTICE. YOU WILL BE CHALLENGED!

short but challenging from back tees

this course is a good change of pace.small elevated greens make it a challenge$15 golf now greens fee made it worth the while.One negative is that it is an executive course and some of the players have no clue as to where they are or what they are doing.plum bobbing a put for 8 on a par 3 is hard to take

Best short course in town

This is the best exec course in Phoenix. Great conditions, greens were fast and smooth. Played in 2 1/2 hours on a Saturday at 11:30 tee time. Loved it, not a full length course, but if you are considering a short course, this is your best bet.

What a delightful gem

I was very pleasantly surprised to find this little gem in the desert. The staff was very friendly and got me out on the course early. This is a short Executive course, but an excellent challenge to the irons with many postage stamp, tough pin placement greens. The beautiful mountain scenery and well maintained grounds made the experient quite a delight!! I will definately return!!!
