Here's what others have had to say about Shadow Mountain Resort & Club and Desert Tennis Academy, Shadow Mountain.
"Great instructors with many drills"—K.B., Adv., April 2012
"Great tennis-fabulous location-no need for a rental car. take a taxi from the airport and walk everywhere or use bikes provided at the resort! Make sure you call in advance of your stay and ask them to set up matches for you. Tennis instruction is great. Highly recommend the clinics. 
Studios are great! I like the Creekside set of studios because the units are bigger and they are quieter because they are a bit away from the big pool. Be sure to ask for a newly remodeled unit because there can be major differences in the units even though the price is the same on all of them."—K.T., Adv., January 2012
"Rating very accurate. Tennis-centered, not much else on the resort, but a very short walk to lots of restaurants and shops and a short drive to other activities. Clinics were good-developed an open forehand. Resort was very accomodating when we had departure flights cancelled due to eastern snowstorm and gave us a room at reduced rate."—R.O., Int., May 2011
"Travel 6000 miles and take 20 hours from the UK to get to this one-but worth it. As good as ever, units seem to be a little better than before. Karen, Mark and Bob in the pro-shop are top seeds when it comes to finding games-great people! Our 4th or 5th time here, will keep coming."—R.B., Adv. Int., March 2010
""—V.N., Adv. Int., January 2010
"As a 4.5 player I was very pleased with the pro staff and their ability to keep drills fast paced and in "play" like situations. I was in a group with equal playing ability and so it made the sessions very competitive and fun all at the same time. The pro staff in very talented and friendly. Great place to play tennis and get your game tuned up for competition."—K.B., Adv., September 2009
"Fantastic salt water pool. Loved the atmosphere & the desert location & weather. Condos were only average. We had our 4 kids & the resort was very family oriented. Everyone had a great time & it wasn't too expensive - we're all really keen to go back even the ones who aren't tennis fanatics."—P.C., Adv. Int., November 2008
""—R.F., Adv. Int., May 2008
"Strengths: In both clinics and private lessons instruction is individualized and specific. Instructors are friendly and extremely competent and current in their methods.
Weaknesses: They should use their clay courts more often. Or at least give players a choice."—T.F., Adv. Int., April 2008
"We tried this tennis camp after we read some good reviews but it was fair. Good pros, 1:6 or more ratios were absolutely too crowded. I am a solid 4.5 player but mixed with 3.0~3.5 players, no one seems better than 4.0 level there."—J.R., Adv., April 2008
"If you're looking for excellent tennis and a real value, Shadow Mountain is the place to go. Michael, John, and Andy are wonderful instructors and motivators and fun guys to boot. They're great at teaching all levels -- beginner to advanced.
Some of the rooms are in need of a refresher, but if you're sitting in your room you're missing out anyway. The resort is ideally located -- only a short walk to El Paseo's many restaurants and shops.
My wife and I have been to Shadow Mountain 4 years in a row and have never been disappointed."—K.W., Adv., April 2008
"Good student to pro ratio. Up to date techniques are taught. Very friendly pros. Negative: They do not utilize the clay courts for the clinics unless asked although most of their clientele appear to be over 50."—T.F., Adv. Int., January 2008
