This is the second time i have played this course and really enjoyed it again. The course is laid out in desert canyons that make shot placement a premium. The course is visually quite stunning with lots of elevation gain and loss. I played on a windy day that pushed my score up a bit but still had a great time. I would definitely play this course again.

My wife and i live about 25 miles from this course during the summer and regularly make the drive to play Shady Oaks. I can't speak to weekend play because we always play weekdays but during the week it is never crowded and so play is always fast. The course is a little shorter than some but it makes up for it with challenging shot making. Lots of trees and doglegs make not only being in the fairway but being in the correct part of the fairway a premium if you want to make par. I am always worried when i go to affordable golf courses that their greens will be bumpy and slow but that is not the case at Shady Oaks. The greens are quick and with some of the slopes on them they can be quite the challenge but because they are smooth they definitely reward a good stroke. I say give it a try.
