Shadow Hills is a flat, fun course with the undulating and mounded fairways of a links-style layout. A few streams and ponds spice up the round, but its lack of trees makes it wide open and appealing to the high-handicap hack.
Originally opened in the early 1980s and designed by Ray Kilgore, Shadow Hills was renovated in 1995 and has recently opened a new 4,500-square-foot clubhouse with a fully stocked pro shop, full service grill, and tournament room.
Notable holes on the front include No. 4, with its elevated, sloping green; No. 6 at 123 yards over water that can get you because of the winds; and the long, par 4 No. 7 that plays uphill with water on the right.
On the back, No. 10 is fun because it plays downwind and has a wide-open fairway. Also No. 11 is a tough par 5 loaded with water.
Getting there : The course is located at the intersection of Loop 289 and W. 4th St.
