The executive golf course at Mountain Shadows Golf Club in addition to being an excellent course has the added benefit of having a picturesque location nestled in the foothills of Camelback Mountain, and it also offers views of the equally majestic Mummy Mountains. The oleanders and palm trees sprinkled throughout the course enhance the pleasant atmosphere. The golf course's 18th hole boasts beautiful views of the sunset during the twilight hours but the signature hole is the par-3 12th hole. It plays uphill toward Camelback Mountain and over a pond and brook to a double-tiered green that is well protected by bunkers.

Great everything!

First time playing here. Was a little concerned because we played after a good rain storm during the night. The course drains well. Staff and service was awesome. The views were great. I will definitely play here again when in Scottsdale!

Sharp par 3

Love the Mountain Shadows vibe. Amazing views, well looked after course will see me again. Caught a great summer rate for a course in my opinion is normally way overpriced in season. Going to try and catch a cooler day to get out again. Thanks Mountain Shadows.

Hole in One!

Had my first hole in one in the 14th hole on July 4th playing with my son. What a treat! Course in very good condition. Greens a little slow but overall course in great shape for July. Staff always friendly. Views, views, views!

So much fun

Great executive course. Most executive courses are not well maintained and this is maintained and designed like a professional course. It’s a lot of fun and plays quickly. Many of the holes are very challenging.

Fantastic short course

I absolutely love playing this course. It is a par 3 course but very challenging with spectacular views. The pro shop is very nice and golfing is great value for the money. Highly recommend playing this course for a fun time!
