Exceeded expectations

First time playing this course and thoroughly enjoyed it. Not particularly long, but in fabulous shape. All the greens are well protected with bunkers. So you only need to fly in on most of them. The chorus is pretty much lined with houses but that didn't bother me but it may some. After the round the beer was cold and the food was great. Exceeded All my expectations and I would go back

Nice course

The course is in very good shape, greens are great. The fairways are a little narrow ( on some holes), so it’s best to have straight drives or you’ll have some lost balls. Overall good course for your money.

Not my 1st time

The course is in very good condition. The fairways are not as wide as some people need, not forgiving on some fairways.

Love this course!

This course is a perfect hidden gem!! I cannot believe people are not lined up to play here. The course conditions are some of the best I have ever played and the attention to detail is awesome. This is my 2nd time playing here and its like we have the entire course to ourselves. From the tee box to the cup , everything is in top notch condition. It may not be the longest course you play but it will test you and your course management skills.

Well maintained but slow play

Enjoyed playing there, except for the pace of play when we were there. Others told us it usually moves along quite well, but we waited on every shot and finished in 4.5 hours, longer than what we expected for a shorter, relatively easy track. The course website advertised a faster pace.

Throwback

I found Shadow Mountain Golf Course to be very quaint. It is definitely a short course by today’s standards, but was very fun!!!! I found the greens and fairways to be in good shape. The staff were very friendly!!! This is a good course for scoring!!!

Be careful with your expectations

High season however they are really craming people on to the course.. No driving range but they do have nets to hit into. Balls were left by Gene Sarason. On course restrooms were very dirty. A 5 some jumped in front of us on #10. 5 hours 15 minutes to play 5100 yard course.

Maintenance lacking

Played a day after large wind storm. Course was littered with bark and debris. Greens very slow and “hairy” as if they had not been cut in awhile. Slow group in front caused three groups on every hole from #3. Staff & starter were great. Unnecessarily long round with not great conditions. Should have been warned before round course was not groomed.
