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.

Fun round great greens and weather

First time playing Painted Mountain, thought it was a really fun and challenging course. Long fairways and fast greens, I’d say about 6 out of 18 tee boxes (whites) were pretty roughed up but overall course was in great shape. They’ve done a good job of tying off the shorter fairways to keep them nice, caused pace to slow a little on those holes but nothing too inconvenient. Can’t wait to get back out there.

Poor pace

Omg! Every shot is like starting over! Groups out too close together as a result course never opens up. Brutal! If you want to visit with friends on each tee box play here!!

Slow play ridiculous pin placements

Well I guess Painted Mountain is really only interest in pushing as many golfers threw as possible to make a couple of extra tee times each day.. Too bad as it’s a nice course! The greens keeper had ridiculous pin placements only front and back in a corner of the green. Usually 5-7 yards from edge of greens. Made it impossible to get the ball to stop as the backs and fronts of greens are sloped away. I had other times booked I cancelled and booked other courses I suggest you look elsewhere unless you enjoy waiting on every shot!!

First Time Playing

At the end of the day-Great round of golf

Foursome played 18 with 12:07 tee time. Finished in almost exactly 4 hours and 30 minutes which is stated pace time. We had a foursome in front and behind us. Minimal wait time on just a couple of holes. Loved this course, shot well. Pin placement on the par 3s was tricky especially with fast sloped greens, definitely a challenge but still enjoyable. Saw the beverage cart 3 times and you can’t miss grabbing an amazing hot dog after the front 9. Overall, beautiful day of golf, course in great condition, affordable, and staff was awesome. Would recommend and will be back.

Great time in awesome weather

The course overall was in good condition but the pin placement on every hole was poor which made each hole nearly impossible to make par. While the weather was beautiful they scheduled tee times so close together the pace of play was just over 4 hours and 40 mins with a wait at over half of the holes (particularly the par 3’s). Met two really nice people from Canada who were visiting for the winter and the staff was really friendly.

Slow Play!!!

The course is in decent shape lay out fine. Pace of play was incredibly slow. So much do we left on 14th hole. I guess if you play at 1:37 and don’t tee off until 2 you can expect slow play. The price was reasonable.I guess you get what you pay for!

Revisit-still not even average

Played 12/14 to see if improved from last round and that would be a no! Still lots of dead fairway patches, some tee boxes need help, bunkers are so hard pack with lots of pebbles you can’t hardly hit out and you end up scratching your club. Greens okay, lots of divots on par 3 greens, pin placements were challenging. Staff was great! Pace of play slower than usual. Marshal needs to pick up trash when cruising through! The ladies restroom at tee boxes 15th hole had lots of water on the floor and could use a good cleaning! Is there new management because I see lots of neglect compared to a few months ago!
