We have stayed here a few times over the last 20 years. The pool, tennis facilities, grounds, and location within Palm Desert are great, but the furniture and decoration in our "tennis condo" were in great need of replacement. The bathroom had been nicely remodeled but the rest had not. We mentioned this upon checking out and were told the... More

Thank you for sharing your comments of your recent stay. We appreciate your many years of visiting the resort. Since each condominium is owned individually, and decorated based on each homeowner's taste, it can be a challenge. We do have minimum requirements and strive to require improvements continually; and are pleased that our inventory is improving each season. Please feel... More

Thanks for visiting Shadow Mountain again. We appreciate our return guests and value your comments. Our pool is still one of the largest in the desert, and definitely one of the deepest from 3-12 feet! Did you know we keep it heated all year at 80 degrees, and it is salt water treated? We hope to see you back again... More

I took a lesson from Mike and then an all-morning clinic/camp with Mike and John and had a great time in both. The clinic/camp was rigorous and had 6 participants (3 women and 3 men plus the 2 coaches). Mike was good at pushing me to improve my game and John was very supportive and encouraging. I would definitely go... More

Thanks for your accolades about Mike and John. We think they're both some of the best tennis pros in the valley, and they each have quite a following of return guests for their lessons and clinics. Check out Michael's Blog on our website for current tennis tips! We hope to see you again soon. More

I went to get away from the hussle and bussle and stayed at Shadow Mountain Golf Resort in Palm Desert, CA. It was fantastic!!! The figure 8 pool is huge and the sun was wonderful to lounge in 75 degree weather. I played a game of tennis on a championship court. The room was Tuscan style with a king bed... More

Our pool is one of the largest in the desert and invites both adults and kids... there's room for everyone! We hope you'll think of us the next time you need some R&R or a place for the whole...

While less well known than many other places in the desert, this is a gem, a real find. At the price of a room you can have a suite with a kitchen and all the amenities. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the pool area is lovely. There are also a numbe of smaller pools spread out on the... More

This is a great value and location. It has a great BIG pool for the kids (Ages 9-13) and lots of activities including Basketball, tennis, volleyball, ping pong and bike riding. The staff was very helpful and the grounds were well kept. We did notice that several of the units were for sale or in foreclosure, but the unit we... More

This was the second time that we've spent two nights in one of the studio condos. The rooms are not new; but, they are fine for a few days. The grounds and pools are lovely. We ate lunch at the little cafe once; and, it was so good we were unhappy that it was closed the second day. We can... More

Pool bartender, don't remember his name was great! We only ate lunch at the pool bar so can not comment on other restaurants. October is reseeding month for the golf courses... More

We chose Palm Desert because one can count on tennis not being affected too much by the weather (we had a little wind). The tennis facilities were great and the pro, John, was excellent for private lessons. We did not rent a car but used Sky Capp Shuttle service and would highly recommend over a taxi, $40 for 2 people.... More
