“Fun place to stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

My family traded our timeshare in Tahoe to stay in PD and had a great time! The facility has lots of pools and a kids park and our villa was right on the 15th hole. We played several rounds of golf on the property and the course was in pretty good condition. The unit was also in pretty good condition and the kitchen had almost everything one would need to be happy. We would love to make the trade again in the future to stay at the Shadow Ridge. PS, the weather in mid January was WONDERFUL! 75-80 all week!

Stayed January 2013, traveled with family

“Good food, great golf”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

We had a villa on Hole 16 with agreat view of the course and conviniently close to all activities, barbeque area and the club house. The course is spectacular with challenging golf for all skill levels, fair putting greens and great views of the mountains.

Room Tip: If you like golf, ask for a room in 2600-2800.

“Nice facility”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 17, 2013

We stayed for a week in a studio/hotel type room (I had hoped for a one bedroom w/full kitchen but we were on a time share point exchange and didn't have enough points). Our room was clean and in very good condition; it overlooked the golf course. We were very close to a lovely pool and spa. The bed was very comfortable. Double sinks in the bathroom would have been nice. Extra towels in the unit would have been amazing; when I asked a housekeeping person I saw in the hallway I easily got more though. One day we rented bikes, which there is a $10/hr per person charge for. Not a lot of places to ride unless you don't mind being on the road with cars (some places on the property were very pretty). I wasn't impressed at all with the staff at the recreation area but it was no big deal. We had a drink at Faldo's Bar and the service was FABULOUS! The waiter/bartender was so accommodating and friendly, plus the drink was really good. Next time, we'll manage our timeshare points better and get a one bedroom.

Room Tip: Keep in mind that a studio is like a hotel room.

“Fantastic Timeshare”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 17, 2013

This was a wonderful timeshare experience. Everything was perfect. I had read a few negatives so I was a little nervous about it. From the moment we entered the grounds which are beautifully landscaped until we sadly left a week later we were happy with everything. Checking in went smoothly. Before we arrived I received an email asking for my preferences - everyone of them were accommodated. We were staying with friends and they got the lock-off which was a nice size and even had its own kitchen. The rooms were quite large and nicely furnished. We each had balconies which gave us a beautiful view of the mountains, especially at sunrise. THere were at least 2 swimming pools available which were well maintained and not crowded when we were there. My only complaint is that the bathtub is in the bedroom, which we have also have found at other timeshares. i would highly recommend this place.

Room Tip: Request a third floor in a renovated building that faces the mountains. We were in building 2300.
