Shadow Mountain Resort & Club

Great place to golf.

Tough but fair. Paired with a couple of regulars which really helped with strategy.

Played early afternoon and just made it in before it became too dark.

It took us 2.5+ hours to play 9 holes. At hole #12, there were 3 tee times stacked up on the tee box. If we didn’t have people dropping out ahead of us and also with our group, it would have taken us 6+ hours.

Apparently a wedding party had the first 4 tee times and slowed down the entire day. No one tried to get them to speed up play. So they just take our money ($260/person) and subject us to a free for all. Don’t play here!

The condition of the course is amazing and coupled with the views it makes for a great round of golf. Spaced out 10 minute intervals, we didn’t catch up to the group ahead until the 16th hole and nobody crawled up backside.

Pace of play and weather were good. Greens were not in good condition. Layout is not great and we had people hitting into us on blind-berm holes. Apparently their other adjoining course is in much better condition. Other golfers had warned us to watch our carts on certain holes as the area by the roadway was sketchy and thefts had been reported in the past. Also, at the bag drop there is a sign warning that the course is not responsible for stolen items.

This is my kinda' course; couples walked their dogs around the course; people engaged each other with conversation; the residents were very friendly; and the course starters were amazing. I would like to recognize Starter Steve...very professional and friendly!

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!
