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.

Ridiculous pin placement

I played this course for the second time in my life, and the pin placement today was utterly ridiculous. Most of the holes had the pin placement about 3 feet from the edge, either front or back. Hole number 10 and 14 were the worst. Not sure what the point of it all was, except to punish amateur golfers on a less then average golf course. Will not be back.

Worst pace of play in AZ

5.5 hours….finished 11 holes. They extremely overbook and have no one enforcing pace of place. Waste of money. Don’t play here.

slow pace of play and terrible pin placements

tee time at 1:37 and the last 5 holes were in the dark since the pace was slow. most of the pins were within 6 feet of the edge of green and some were even on the side of a hill and they were very fast

Frustrating Greens

This is a great course spoiled somewhat by greens that are really unfair. The pin placements were mostly on the side of a slope so if you miss your first putt, even by a hair, your ball is going to roll a good 5 feet or more away. The entire putting experience is an exercise in barely touching the ball to get it in motion.

Tee to green the course is in good shape and nicely challenging, especially if you don't know where the water hazards lurk.

Overall it was a fun day. Being paired with a great couple realy helped!

Great Value

We enjoyed playing Painted Mountain. The course layout was fun and challenging. The pace was slow but understandable given it’s the busy season.

It was a 5 hour round. The group in front of us were 2 holes behind. No one did a thing about moving groups on. Terrible.

Good value

Fun course. Has a lot of dirt areas if you get off the fairway you will probably be hitting off of dirt or rock. But the greens put very well, there are many water hazards, and overall a fun little course.
