Sand traps

The course has many groomed sand traps and I spent lots of time in them. My only complaint would be that there is a shortage of rakes.

Loved the course

Payed $65.00 including cart and unlimited range balls. Outstanding value. Course was in great shape. Very forgiving off the tee but well protected greens. Lots of bunkers on the course. Could have used more sand in the bunkers as it was easy to blade the shot.
Absolutely would book this course again.

seems easy...but tough on shot selection/accuracy

Lots of fairway to accommodate your drive BUT...TOUGH on placement of approach shots. Greens well-garded...water or bunkers. Cannot run balls up

If it’s not windy, it would be a real treat! Our round was cut short by very high winds. We will be back.

Nice course but over crowded.

This was our first time on this course, and it appeared to be in fairly decent shape. Lots of traps, making it a challenge, and of course, some water to hit around. Fairways and greens were well kept and people seem to treat the greens well by repairing marks. However, they over schedule this course. We started at 1 PM and the starter sent a foursome to both hole #1 AND hole # 10 every eight minutes. That means a foursome on average starts playing on the course every four minutes and inevitably play is going to slow down. It took us five hours to finish our round and waited on every hole.

Hope that this is not a common practice. If it is , it is just not worth coming back.

Wide fairways

Nice course with wide fairways. Very good shape, tees, fairways and greens all good but green’s extremely slow. Would definitely play again.

Paid twice to play

Booked a tee time on golf now but I got the dates wrong. We showed up a day early. Pro said he would cancel my tee time thru golf now. He didn't and I was charged twice. It's a nice course but not happy about the double charge. Shadow Hills you owe me a round.

Easy landing!

What I most enjoyed was the width of the fairways on mist par 4/5s. While you can easily make your second shot longer it was pretty easy to find the shirt grass with all but worse shank drives.. when we played in February greens were very w I nter slow. Probably one than normal which tool time to accomadte to . Definitely play again.

Pretty course. Nice layout but maybe too much sand traps. Good value on refreshments. Friendly staff. Clean facilities. Challenging course with long holes. Very good fairway and green conditions.

Played this course as part of a marathon 9-rounds in 5 days trip I took to the Coachella Valley.

Very well-maintained golf course set within a housing development. This course has an excellent practice/warm-up area. On this day we started on hole #10.

CONDITIONS: Very well maintained. Tee, fairways, rough and greens are all in great condition. Bunkers were fantastic as well. Top notch groundskeeping.

VALUE: My deal time was over $100, which I guess is fair for the area and time of year. Not sure what full fare is but if you got it, go ahead and spend it.

LAYOUT: Well, that’s the thing. The greens are well maintained, rolled true and have enough undulation to keep your attention. The bunkers were perfect. Everything else was great too… except that there are no memorable holes. Maybe #18. Everything just sort of felt the same… desert template set within housing development. On the scorecard you’ll see #16 and #17 are back-to-back par 3s. No, #16 should be a par 3.5.

That being said, I don’t know if the allow it but if I were to play here again I would ask to walk the course.

FRIENDLINESS: Very friendly and helpful.

PACE: We were the first ones off on #10, but did catch up to groups that were sent off on #1 when we made our turn. Finished in 4 hours 10 minutes.

DIFFICULTY: For the most part, the course is wide and forgiving. Unforced errors are what will ruin your scorecard.

Great Course.

From range to hole 18, no complaints.
Backed up a bit at 16 but otherwise good flow.
18 is my favourite.
