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.

Very unfriendly staff

There was a cashier guy who was very unfriendly.

I started the game in very unhappy feeling.

I don't really recommend this course.

The owner was driving around his cart. He was very kind and friendly.

Pace of play

Two hours and forty-five minutes to play nine holes - a disgrace no matter how you slice it.

There was even a ranger on site and his excuse was there were just too many groups on the course so it was impossible to do anything.

Maybe they just overbooked the course for the extra revenue and didn’t care about the outcome.

Some group, somewhere, in that disgrace of a pace of play charade, was causing the problem and the ranger chose to do absolutely nothing about it.

There were at times, three to four groups waiting, not at par three’s but at par fours and fives.

I say again - two hours and forty-five minutes for nine holes.

If you book a later tee time it will be impossible to get eighteen holes.

The discount you get for the later tee time booking is negated because eighteen holes is not possible.

If you love this kind of golf, Painted Mountain is perfect for you.

If this pace of play bothers you then think twice.

Kind of a shame really because it’s a decent little course.

Course is in okay condition, greens were inconsistent, grass otherwise was super long, bunkers were hard. Where is the mower? Extremely overpriced for the quality.

Nice Rye Grass

I booked for the wrong day, but Jason let me play anyway. They overseeded early. Smart business decision! A few of the employees are nice, including Whitney, Sarah, Teddy and Rick. Greens are hilly and challenging, and rolled pure. The bunkers have hardpan gravel, rocks and grass. (Don't try a sand shot, just chip) 3 Stars.

NOPE!

The course is a dog track. The bunkers are like concrete, with grass growing in them, and houses loom over almost every shot. There's hardpan gravel everywhere, and the tee boxes are uneven and beat up.

Nice Grass, Horrible People.

They overseeded early, which was smart, and the grass looks great. But they treat Golf Pass members like beggars that they would run over in the street. No beverage cart, ever, and overbooked with senior snowbirds making pace of play unbearable! Their golf shop looks like a tiny east-coast bodega. Don't waste your money on this dog track.

5+ hour round, no range, slow greens

I called ahead and asked about conditions since they overseeded weeks ago. He said they’re great. I asked what the current pace of play is and he said 4 hours and they’re running on time today. I get there and learn there’s no driving range so we can’t warm up for the 605yd hole 1. We waited 5-10 minutes on most holes and I could see it was backed up at least 3 groups in front of us. And the overseeding made the greens super slow and almost unplayable. Maybe they’ll be better in a few weeks. Teed off at 2pm and couldn’t finish the round before dark. On the bright side, the views were nice and it’s decently priced assuming pace and conditions were better.

DON'T WASTE YOUR HOT DEALS HERE!

I've always given this course five stars, because of the way the staff treats me. (Even though it's a dog track in summer) But then I met Jason. He made me wait for 2 hours to use my Hot Deal tee time, for no reason! The tee sheet was EMPTY! He treats Golf Pass members like beggars. The other employees there actually apologized for him! They over-seeded early, and the grass was great. The greens were SUPER SLOW! ZERO STARS!

2 hours for 6 holes.

Didn't have time for a 6 hour round today. Evidently they don't have a marshall on the course or he doesn't care

Not bad for a older course

Greed and fairways in ok shape. Felt like we were the only ones on the course at time of play. Price point I feel was a bit higher than what we expected. Have played much nicer courses for less. Overall good experience.

Fast Play, Course in Good Shape, Nice Challenge.

I needed my 5-iron several times on par 3's and longer par 4's. The course is always in decent shape, and the layout is challenging. The staff there always treat me very well, letting me tee off early on a Hot Deal. Great value! I paid about $23, and played in 2 1/2 hours.
