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.

Jewel in the desert!
Mountain Shadows is so much fun and the greens are so tough! Friendly staff always make you feel like they are actually happy you are visiting. The food at Rusty’s is above average. Nice 2 hr and 15 minute round.

Fun course
First timer.They don't overseed the greens. They were fast. Very challenging greens, so a 3 is just a guideline.Some border on over the top for pin placement. Good layout, good views. Great for a group and some wagers. Rack rate in season is a bit high. Would go back to correct some missed opportunities.

FUN! CHALLENGING!!
Don't let the 3-par's fool you! As ladies, we played the furthest tees and thought we'd be fine. Nope! The approaches and the greens are tricky and it was nothing to 3-putt this course! Super fun! Beautiful setting! Very friendly staff.

Great fun!
If you’re looking for great fun, you have to play this par 3 course. Usually play a long grueling course at home but had a great time playing this with my wife. Also great way to improve on your short game.

Fun, but challenging short course
Seems like an easy course, but there are a lot of hills that lead to some huge kicks. Definitely target golf with some challenging putts and pin locations.
