Shadow Ridge Golf course

Shadow Ridge is one of the finest courses in the desert area. The course was in great condition from tee to green. It has some very beautiful and challenging holes. I would recommend this course to anyone.

Ridge

Course layout is great. Can’t see other holes while playing one hole. Fairways were perfect. A lot of bunkers to maneuver around. Some long and short par 4’s. Back nine layout is better. Greens putted around 10-11. Smooth. Beverage cart was around throughout rounds. Gal was very nice and always smiling. No place at the clubhouse to get a drink or snack after 4. That was the only negative.

No marshall

We have played this course before and love the course but the pace of play was painful. 4 hours 40 min group in front of us had no one in front of them and no Marshall to push them along. There is no restaurant it has been closed for years. There is a lunch counter but that is all. Nice course and great practice area but lacking some of the amenities I would expect at this price point.

Shadow Ridge

Superb layout and challenging course. Course in good shape EXCEPT the greens. slow and bumby. Greens desperately need maintenance from volume of play. That diminishes value significantly. The layout is so good though that I would still recommend and return. It’s fabulous course and owners need to be more responsible for its care on greens

Perfect exoerience

Have to accept that great golf in Palm spring is at least $200…
But better then pga west, better than Indian Wells. Way better than Desert Springs.
Really the best resort course in the desert.

Marriott Shadow Ridge Golf Course

Shadow Ridge is one of the nicest courses in the desert.
The entire course is so lush and green, it's just a feast for the eyes. The course was in immaculate condition. The greens were fast and running true. The sand bunkers were in great condition! The course has some easy holes and then some very challenging holes. Many of the greens were undulating or had 2 levels. There are also plenty of holes where water comes into play. All in all the course is both forgiving and unforgiving at times, but fair. I recommend this course to everyone. I did play with my wife and another twosome. While I wouldn't consider it a drawback, the forward white tees maybe be a little long at 5158 yards for women like my wife. However, she loves the course and managed the length just the same.

Good condition and Nice course

Excellent condition but green are little slow. After overseeing green need time to grow.
One of my favourite course in the desert. Course layout are very nice and fun. I already played 3 rounds of golf here . This golf course is far way better than the other 2 courses . A must play this course when you visit Palm Springs. Staffs are very friendly and helpful too.
