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.

Golf Course

Excellent course. Not too challenging. Fairways Wide. Greens a little slow and bumpy. Perfect course for new golfer or senior. Highly recommend to others.

Slow motion

The group ahead had a 2 hole gap in front of them. Never did see a Marshall. Have golf here on several occasions and it is always slow.

Very enjoyable!

Always enjoy visiting the course, as the staff and new amenities, club house are so good. Views are excellent too!
Price of golf there is very reasonable. Yes, this is a resort course, with homes along the fairways. And the fairways can run very tight and parallel to each other., So any errant shot means yell "fore"., and apologize to the homeowner. At times the cart path will have carts going both directions. No worries, you can figure it out. Just play smart and safe, and have fun! We did. Thanks!.

Fun course

This is a cute course with a fun atmosphere. Staff was very nice. Geoff the starter gave me some hints which were helpful. It’s a short track that weaves back and forth around the holes. You are surrounded by the mountains and lots of houses. Enjoyed playing and wished I could have stayed to check out Geno’s bar
