We're not your normal Par 3 course. The Short Course is a high end golf resort experience at the base of Camelback Mountain. We just happen to have all Par 3's. Given the golf pricing of area golf resorts, we believe our fees are fair. We may not be for everyone, but thank you for giving us a try.

Great Conditions, very slow play

Course was in good shape, just so expensive for a par 54 course. Waited a while on every hole. 3:20 to play a short course. Friendly staff. Beautiful grass.

Thank you for joining us as we strive for a friendly experience and nice course conditions. On a busy day, our average pace is between 3 hours and 3:20. Overall it's best to play in a 4some, as 2somes play faster and may seem slower.

Terrible pace of play. No effort to move people along. Party central concept means golf etiquette is terrible but this apply a most public course.

One of those over hyped courses.

Not worth the money. Good if the only purpose is to practice the short game. Cart girl interrupted one shot so I would move my cart. The course was empty, not sure of her rush.

Summer round

Nice par 3 course that’s we’ll kept all year round, expected a few rough spots with the hot weather but overall in really good shape, greens weren’t too fast and prob slight wet as we tee off at 7am.
Finished up around 10 and it was hot and sweaty by then. Prices a lot lower in summer and great to get out early mornings on this course

Hidden Gem in PV

Fun course to play, always a good time with great staff. The par 54 isn’t too long for a hot day and the greens keep it challenging. A little pricey in the summer months, but allows for faster pace of play with less people
