Shadow Mountain Golf Course
Golf Course Address:
73800 Ironwood St, Palm Desert, CA 92260
Phone: (760) 346-8242

The first Palm Desert golf course when it opened in March 1958.

Located a few blocks from world famous El Paseo shopping district, Shadow Mountain Golf Club is built to test but not overtax golfers, the par 70 Palm Desert golf course is one of few in the desert that can still be walked. The golf course challenges golfers of all abilities and rewards golfers who shape their shots and use their head more than their driver. With over 600 mature palm trees, the fairways are well defined and the challenging greens are protected by well placed sand bunkers. Tucked in the foothills of the Santa Rosa Mountains of south Palm Desert, Shadow Mountain Golf Club is protected from the winds that plague many desert golf courses.

Reception

Following our group golf event, we will be hosting a reception with hors d’oeuvres and drinks. Continue discussions on our 2023 plans and swap stories from out on the course with the backdrop of one of the best sunset views in Palm Desert.

ADDRESS: 46047 Portola Ave. Condo #14 Palm Desert, CA 92260
