Memorable

Shadow Creek is without a doubt one of the most unique golf course experiences in the world. In fact, I believe if a non-golfer ever visited the course, they would say it is one of the most amazing places they ever visited. Personally, it may be the most memorable involvement I have had over my many decades in the golf business. I have thought about Shadow Creek so many times—the initial idea stages, routing plans, scale model construction and first impressions after opening. We are approaching almost 25 years of play and I am still amazed with the whole experience. It is such a special place from so many aspects—great golf, great environment, great services—a place one can’t wait to return. There have been many wonderful golf courses created in the last several decades and I honestly believe Shadow Creek is in a separate category. It is very difficult to explain even after a visit. The total feel is distinctive and captivating. I believe it should be labeled one-of a-kind! I am honored to be a part of Shadow Creek. — Tom Fazio

Take the Challenge

"Every hole at Shadow Creek has characteristics that make a score of par an achievement. On the short and majestic 17th hole, for instance, the green has three times the width than the depth, so yardage control becomes of paramount importance. Like the 12th at Augusta, any tee shot allowing use of a putter for a second shot is an accomplishment."
