Shadow Mountain Resort & Club

Showed up a couple hours before my Tee time to acquaint myself with the course, hit some balls, and have a bite to eat.

There was no one at the bag drop, which I can understand since the parking lot was full, no big deal. The golf shop attendant was very helpful and a nice to deal with.

I found a practice green and putted for a while before hitting the range. Looking back, I shouldn’t have even bothered. This is by far the worst range I’ve ever hit at. I strictly think it’s due to the amount of traffic it gets.The ball machine card reader was completely shot too, so I had to go back to the pro shop to buy range balls.

I was a bit worried about the course after seeing the condition of the range but luckily the course was in great shape and played very nicely.

As a first time guest, the first impressions upon arrival were not the greatest. My starter Rob was very reassuring however. All-in-all I would play here again but wouldn’t spend an ounce to of time at the range. Oh, and the cart guys had a chip on their shoulder.

The end

Greens and fairways in good condition. Bunkers not so much. Still a very good value for the Palm Springs area.

Grees ...very good and fast. Fairways cut too short. Nice driving range and friendly staff

All was great! A little slow in the pro shop to check out , but helpful with info.

Always set at a good pace but sending us out 10 minutes early wasn’t funsinceittook away from my warm up time on the range. Speaking of the driving range….it was nothing but sand!

First time at Desert Willow and very impressed with staff and course conditions. We played late in the day so the greens a little fuzzy and slow, but it was 75F and our home course is under snow. Will play again but will try to get a mid morning tee time.

Main parking lot full. Park in lot 1/4 mile away.

Not the end of the world but annoying when you are paying what they ask. Low brow.

Check in was fine but they tell you must see the “host”. The host in this case was no host at all but rather a wrangler for the golfers that crowd this place. This created job adds one more ego card playing d bag ya gotta deal with on your way to the 1st tee. A useless and unnecessary position that doesn’t exist at any other course I’ve been to in the valley - I’ve played most of em private and public. The actual starter was great and very pleasant. The host can kick rocks.

**the course - it was great wide open, scenic views, finished at sundown. Beware of weekend golfers here as they can be unruly, lack courtesy and respect for the game. I broke my own rule of no public golf on the weekend to come check this place out. So that’s on me. The course is great tho. A 4 ball on a weekday with friends would be perfect. Greens are new and don’t roll true yet and are hard so no bite. Play it short and let it run up. Tough pins for a Saturday.

Wouldn’t pay more than the twilight rate ever. Find a hot deal or locals discount. The management needs to figure out a more seamless quality experience from parking lot to 1st tee.

This may be the most impressive course in the C. Valley. Expensive, yes. But it's worth it, at least for one round.

Very Nice staff and other players but disappointed that the Legend course did not look like the pictures of the Resort course.

Not an option for me and I will wait until it becomes one.

Nice course for novice golfers with minimal “ball snatching” hazzards

Any review is not fair or accurate as the couse is undergoing a new routing and construction. Can't wait to play it next year to see how they did.
