Alright folks, today I actually went through the process of figuring out Shadow Mountain Golf Club costs. Let me walk you through how it really went down.
Woke up this morning thinking, “Hey, feels like a golf day.” Specifically, had Shadow Mountain in Palm Desert in my head. Knew the name, did NOT know the price tag. Off I went.
The Research Begins
First stop? Grabbed my phone, obviously. Typed something like “Shadow Mountain Palm Desert green fees” into the search bar. Got a bunch of results. Clicked on one that looked right – probably their own thing or a booking site.
- Straight up, looked for a “Green Fees” or “Rates” link.
- Clicked that. Bunch of numbers popped up.
Okay, gotta figure out what time I wanna play. Prices? They change like the weather depending on time of day.
- Early morning prime time? Ouch. Higher numbers staring back at me.
- Late afternoon? Saw some smaller numbers, definitely more my speed cost-wise.
Don’t forget the damn cart! Almost skipped over it. Usually separate line item. Added it to my mental total.
The Reality Check
Numbers started adding up in my head. It was… more than I hoped, honestly. Desert golf ain’t cheap, especially at a known spot like Shadow Mountain.
- Saw peak season rates listed? Even higher. Glad I wasn’t looking in winter.
Stared at the screen for a minute. “Is this worth it for me right now?” Had to weigh the cost against my current golf budget. Hmmm.
The Verdict
Called the club directly after seeing the online rates. Wanted to hear it from a real person, plus maybe check if the online price was up-to-date. Guy confirmed the numbers I saw were current.
- He mentioned booking a time slot online might lock in the rate.
- But honestly? Seeing the total cost… I decided to hold off for now.
Yeah, didn’t book today. Shadow Mountain looks fantastic, sure, but the dollar signs matched the desert prestige. Gotta save up or find a buddy to split costs with next time. Not super cheap, folks. That’s the real deal from my side.
