Shadow Lakes is fun and used to be one of the best-conditioned courses anywhere (outside of Augusta) when Troon was operating it. Now the greens are pathetic (they used to be very quick and true, featuring maddeningly subtle contours) and the fairways roll at about 10% of their former speeds.
In general, I dislike the man made lake holes (5, 16 especially), though I think the water was used reasonable well on the back side par 3s 11 and 17). My favorite holes are #'s 1, 2, 3, 6, 8, 9, 13, and 15.
Roddy is better as a whole. I wish I could have seen Shadow Lakes before the housing was erected.
Deer Ridge has maintained high grooming standards, but the original course had to be altered before opening because they accidently built on land they didn't own! Wetlands also lead to some akward hole in places (one such hole forbids hitting driver off the tee to carry wetlands and yield a short pitch to the green, mandating a lay up with an iron). Overall, Deer Ridge is a mixed bag of good, fair and dissappointing holes with noting stellar in the offing.
I believe that Shadow Lakes was principally designed by Tood Eckenrode during his tenure with Gary Roger Baird's design firm. Deer Ridge was designed by Andy Raghaust (spelling questionable), formerly of Nicklaus Design.
