Shalimar Golf Club is a nine-hole golf course in Tempe. The course is best for beginners but it has enough challenges in store to make it a great option for more advanced players who want a quick round. The layout is comprised of three par 3s and six par 4s. It weaves through a smattering of mature trees and across gently rolling hills. The small greens can be quite tricky, especially since there are strategically placed bunkers lurking along some. Water hazards come into play on a few holes, including the 155-yard fifth, which is one of the golf course's toughest. You'll have to pull off a carry over the area's biggest lake to a heavily bunkered, narrow green. Shalimar Golf Club's ninth hole is the most well known though, mainly for the island green. In addition to the water, there are also four bunkers surrounding the green.

Not worth it!

Tee boxes have more sand than the bunkers. Bunkers have more grass than the fairway. I think I lost one kidney on the bumps in the cart path. I should have driven my Polaris

Not a bad course for quick rounds before and after work.

Everyone on Staff is great and accommodating.

Course needs some pretty work but better than others I have been and the people you meet always make the time worth it. Pricey for a 9 but would still come again for the good practice.

Hidden Gem

This course is not fancy, and needs some TLC, but for the price, it’s a great little 9 hole experience.

Worst golf course I have ever played

If you want to just go for a hit then here is fine. As for the course, in terrible condition, bunkers overgrown, greens super bumpy, dry mud everywhere. There was no one on the course so you can just play as many balls as you want.

Great executive course!

Despite recent overseed, fairways were in good condition , and pace of play excellent. It’s fun to play at a walkable course that has many older trees and offers some shade. Will definitely plan to play at Shalimar again!

Nice short 9-holer

This is a mature short 9-hole course.

It is inexpensive. And it does not pamper you with all kind of amenities that are nice but not needed if all you want to do is just hit a few holes

For the price you pay absolutely perfect.

And yes, it could use a bit more water on the grass. But this is Arizona. Water is not abundant.

Sunny day for golf

Overall, the course is decent, but considering the shape of it and how a lot of things are run down, the price should be more fair than it is.
