The Nick Faldo-designed course at this Marriott timeshare location in Palm Desert has been ranked one of the best resort courses and the 19th best course in California by GolfWeek Magazine. So why do people love the 18 holes at Shadow Ridge? Well, mostly for the challenge. The well-kept course features unforgivingly steep sand traps, a signature design by Faldo. Fairways can be deceivingly uneven, and the water features throughout the course may claim a ball or two during your game. The trick to mastering the course at Shadow Ridge is to attack it conservatively rather than going for all-out glory.
