Great Desert Value

Second time playing here. Course in great shape. Went out as a single at 11:10 with no one in front of me. Next tee time was at 1:00pm when rates drop. Very friendly staff, inside or outside dining and bar.

Had a great time as the course was not busy at all. Couple of hole locations were confusing but otherwise me and my co-players enjoyed the round!

Fun short course

Short course that is well maintained and good for seniors, couples and families. Not a course for serious golfers unless you want to focus on your short game and accuracy off the tees without your driver. A very nice course, friendly staff, and well maintained golf course that is a good value and fun.

Great Course

Must try the Flamingo putting green ... 18 holes of hills and undulations that will frustrate the most accomplished golfer. The course is in excellent condition and plays well. Temperatures in the 90s were easy to endure.

Fun Course for Vacation Golf!

We found Shadow Mountain on golfnow and decided to give it a shot! It was a great decision for our group of guys. We're bogie-golfers and loved the experience. Have to hit it straight and keep the ball below the hole for sure! We had lunch and a beer after the round and it was great as well. Staff was super friendly as were the people we met playing the course that day. Recommend for vacation golfers for sure!

Improvement

Shadow Mountain has done a lot of improvements since my last time playing there. Love the vibe by all staff members. Definitely a fun course to play even though it's shorter than others it makes up in tight fairways and fast greens.

STAFF IS EXCELLENT

THE STAFF WERE EXCELLENT- FRIENDLY, HELPFUL AND NOT PUSHY. THE AMENITIES WERE ALSO EXCELLENT. THE COURSE IS IN FINE SHAPE. STILL A BIT TIGHT BUT THAT CAN'T BE CHANGED. EVERYTHING ELSE HAS BEEN IMMENSELY UPGRADED SINCE I PLAYED IT A FEW YEARS AGO. CONGATS TO THE OWNERS AND ESPECIALLY THE STAFF. THEY WERE EXCEPTIONAL. IT MADE FOR A VERY PLEASANT DAY OF GOLFING. I WILL DEFINITELY BE PLAYING MORE GOLF HERE IN THE FUTURE.

Fun Little Course

Short course in excellent condition. Small, small greens and narrow fairways with all holes short, but demanding. A fun layout and opportunity to hone your game! Great, friendly service.

Nice older course.

Course was a little slower in the afternoon. My wife and i did a nine and dine (happy hour), and it was very good.Good pours for the wine, and food was good too. Definitely would recommend for others for a leisure round.

Pleasantly Surprized

A friend booked this course for three of us to play. They added a woman to our group from WA. Two of us are also from WA. None of us had ever played the track. All of us thought it was great. They were short staffed in the restaurant which wasn’t good, so we waited on ourselves from outside. Outdoor seating was lots of fun and artfully designed too. Go play this place!!!

Fair Price and a Fun Layout

It’s a tight course, but is very short and relatively forgiving. It’s a great option for novice golfers or experienced golfers who don’t want to break the bank. Fairways and greens were in good shape. Everything was clean and orderly. Would definitely play here again.

First time at shadow mountain

Let me start by saying the starter was great in helping us with course guidance.His personality was top notch.
The pro shop attendant was also nice she was patient
with customers ready to play.The course itself is short
but challenges you with narrow fairways.Water is also
in play on a few holes.The course is well kept with
nice greens that will challenge your putting abilities.
We will definitely be back when visiting the desert again.
