This is one of America’s best-kept secrets, designed in the desert by famed architect Tom Fazio. Every hole on this course (par 72, 7,560 yards) is a work of art, breathtaking from start to finish. As Fazio once described: “Every hole at Shadow Creek has characteristics that make a score of par an achievement. 

For instance, on the short and majestic 17th hole, the green has three times the width than the depth, so yardage control becomes paramount. Like the 12th at Augusta, any tee shot allowing the use of a putter for a second shot is an accomplishment.” Take note: the fee for non-members for a round of golf at Shadow Creek is $ 600 per golfer (Mondays through Thursdays) and $ 750 per golfer (Fridays through Sundays), but you must have an invitation from a member.
