The Painted Mountain Golf Club is a challenging desert-style course with a variety of different tees to accommodate every age group and skill level. The course offers a lengthier challenge from the first hole, a par-5 dogleg right, to the last, which requires an approach shot over water in order to reach the green. The Painted Mountain Golf Club, in addition to the course, is also home to the John Jacob's Golf School.

Good condition for this time of year

We had the course to ourselves which was very nice. Fairways have some bare patches but the greens are in good shape. They’re a little slow but manageable.

Course condition

Tee boxes on 10 out of the 18 holes were uneven making it hard to setup for a good golf shot. The rest of the course was in alright condition given that its middle of June . More than likely wouldn’t play here again but if you have never played here and wanna get out and play golf for a decent rate this would be the course for you.

Even at $25…

The staff were friendly, the greens were green and fuzzy, the fairways were in bad shape. The greens were actually the only saving grace for the round, green but seemed a little long. Pace of play was fair but when I hit 14 (11:30ish am) there was three groups waiting, no cart person and the ball washers were dry on a few holes.

easy to play and enjoy

I have played Painted Mountain numerous times and I enjoy playing there. The greens are in good shape, being on the slow side, but, very puttable. The fairways are not in great shape missing a lot of grass. It is a relatively short course and is not difficult. It is a nice and relaxing place to play.

Played with my grandson. Had fun and a good round. Greens were a little hard to read due to recently sanding. Staff is excellent. Will play again here soon.

Nice day for golf

The course plays long from the white tees, not much trouble that I found out there. The frount nine killed me but I did manage to sweek out a 36 on the back nine.

Hopefully just in transition

Played on 5/30, paired with a single guy(who was great). There were a quite a few younger guys getting ready to play so maybe a league. We’ve played this course a few times and a few weeks ago the course was really nice but now it’s dry, many dead/brown areas in the fairways and there isn’t any real roughs. The greens were actually good. Course is most likely going from winter to summer grass. Still would like to see the landscaping freshened up and trash picked up! This course could really be top notch if just a little more effort was added. The staff is always nice. There is only putting and chipping, no driving range. Carts are gas powered with a cooler. Pace of play was 5hrs and there were at least 3 marshals out. Not sure what happened. Would recommend to play if the conditions were better.

Great Golf Day

Great golf day at Painted Mountain. We had an early tee time, and we were allowed to pass a foursome ahead of us and finished the round in just under 3 hours. Course was in great conditions; greens were very nice and fast enough.

Conditions were great and friendly staff

Greens were running bit too slow but they are in superb condition! Very lush and ran true just bit too furry.

Tee boxes were excellent except on few holes they could have been moved 5-10 ft forward or back for grass lies. We were off very early so wasn’t due to groups in front of us they just needed to shift couple tee markers.

Overall excellent value, great staff and lovely conditions especially this time of year! And great pricing really appreciated that!

Enjoyed the round !

Overall experience was a good day of golf ! No drama no disappointments other than the usual missed putts.

It’s a good layout and they do what they can within their budget I’m guessing , to keep the course enjoyable to play. The green fees were reasonable and appropriate for a nice easy round of golf without breaking the bank.

Good tee boxes, good fairways, good greens ! All the things I like when I play here in AZ. If your going in expecting Scottsdale National you are not gonna get that.
