Mountain Shadows (Beautiful Par 3 Course)

Not your typical short course.

As pretty a course as any in Metro Phoenix.

Don’t expect your typical flat green…par 3’s.

A lot of fun if the right attitude.

A fun par 3 to try

If you are looking to swing the sticks but want a quicker outing Mountain Shadows is perfect. Pleasant surroundings, great staff and surprisingly challenging. Rusty’s offers good food and cold beer with a lovely Mountain Shadows view. A great low intensity outing.

Course was great fun

Staff was great, on course facilities and cart girls were great. For a par three hard to par as the course and greens are all tricky with sand and multi slope greens. Wife loved it, was a lot of fun would play it again!

Glad I gave the course a try.

Beautiful course that is not easy. Sloping and fast greens make every swing necessary to be be struck well. A bit over priced unless one gets a good hot deal. I would play again.

It’s not worth $104 for a par 3. Course is subpar at best.

Was sucked into playing the course by the proshop, as I wanted to cancel and was told it would the best par 3 course in the US. The greens design was good, but not in food shape. Very expensive, as I could have played very decent full 18 hole course.

Thank you for the feedback and we are sorry you didn't find the same enjoyment in our experience that many guests and residents do. We pride ourselves on being a premier resort and golf course. We just happen to have 18 par 3’s at a fraction of the price of other nice golf resorts. Every green is very unique and most people find it interesting and enjoyable. And we’re at the base of Camelback Mountain with one of the best views in town.

Great course

Greens are super fast and challenging. We had a group behind us that hit into us twice. No course marshals around. So after the second time I went back and told them to stop. For the price of this course I would expect people to have a little better golf etiquette.
