Shadow Mountain Golf

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the ideal time to play Shadow Mountain Golf to experience it at its best?

You'll find Shadow Mountain truly shines from late May through early October.

Just be prepared for cooler mornings, so pack layers.

What unique challenges or memorable features should I prepare for at Shadow Mountain?

Get ready for some dramatic elevation changes and a few blind shots that really test your course management. The par-3 17th, playing downhill with a gorgeous mountain backdrop, is a definite highlight you'll remember long after your round. Pay attention to your club selection; the thin mountain air makes the ball fly further.
