6 hours ....behind a 5 ball and nobody cared

What a mess, we played 18 holes and it took 6 hours in 95F heat with no water to drink on the course and no drinks cart. Someone could die and so it was a full day and we all talked about it all day long, no fun.

When we told the guy behind the counter at the turn he said he would come out and get the group in front to let us thru. He never did.

Avoid this place.

nine twice

Only complaint was that the course had nine holes that you played twice. I probably wouldn't' have booked it if I'd known that. My problem was really with my scoring app which had the old layout and was useless.

Stay away from this course

Went there all the way from Santa Rosa on a hot deal the kid told me that the hot deal says that I'm supposed to play and ride with somebody else I told them you're tripping and that you're pulling a scam he told me I would have to pay $20 in order to ride by myself so I took $20 out and told them if you take this $20 I'm forced to write a bad review so here I am

Good value

The course was enjoyable to play, and could not beat the rate for a weekend day! I was not aware that this course is a 9 hole course you play twice for the 18 holes, so should be noted!

My problem is with GolfNow. Very disappointed with golfnow. I pay annually for this service.

They should have let us know that this course is now only nine holes. To play 18 holes you have to repeat the 9. I would have not played if I had known that

The course only has nine holes. That means you have to play twice can get in 18. I was not made aware of this otherwise I would not have played. This is a Golf Now issue for not making it clear.

Great Work in Progress

This course has just reopened. I believe golfers need to be patient in their expectations as to course conditions. I think they are doing great and if you look around you can see that they are continuing to work on developing and improving this course. I have played at a number of courses that are not clearly as groomed as this one. At this time it is a nine hole course so golfers need to be aware of this. They also are working on the club house and amenities.

Great Possibilities, need work.

Nice layout, but there are still a lot of work left to make it a good course. The greens do roll nicely.

Disappointed to see it’s not a complete 18

Sadly they haven’t brought this course near the level it once was. Very disappointed that GolfNow didn’t let us know if we wanted to play 18 holes, we had to play the same 9 again.

Course conditions.

Although the greens were in good condition, the fairways not so much. I expected the course to be in better condition since it’s re-opening. Still needs work, but glad to see it open again. Hopefully by spring it will get the work it needs.

Great to see an old friend

Great to see Shadow back open even if it’s only 9 holes. A little unorganized but the Staff was doing their best . Get out and give it a try

Mis-advertised

This is a 9-hole course but advertised as 18 holes. Had I known it’s 9 holes, I wouldn’t have travelled 35 miles to play 9 holes twice. I found that the course was 18 holes but changed to 9 holes several years ago without updating the course website information. Additionally, Yardage provided by GPS for 7 of the 9 holes is off, in some case, by nearly 400 yds. The course staff couldn’t explain why the GPS yardage given by 3 devices is nearly identical; but significantly different than the advertised yardage. My guess is the yardage given is for the deleted holes. .This is totally unacceptable and waste of $78 (2 players) as well as my time.
