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.

Not worth the $$$

Played it ✔️, for the same price there are at least 20 courses better. Greens in great shape, fairways are narrow but made narrower by lots of dirt, sand and rocks where I would expect grass. Pace of play was slow today (5:15) but heard from others that is not “normal”.

Course was in pretty good condition.

The course layout is a nice challenge for different levels of players. Overall, the course was in good condition other than the tee boxes which were very uneven and had many areas with no grass.

Painted mountain

1st time back in couple years. Overall good. Pace of olay was a little slow but not horrible. Sand bunkers could use more sand. But we had a good time and glad to see they are doing more to keep it up. Will be back. Not all the blue markers for tees in place. Small things

Thanks

Overbooked

Tee time was 9:30 and they were already running behind. Apparently 5-6 hrs a round is normal as times are 7 min apart. Course in very poor condition. First and last time we will play here!

Restaurant is good but service poor.

If 6100 yards is too long for you then maybe you should be playing an executive course with par 3's only instead of complaining about the course itself focus on your own issues.

Gone downhill in last ten years

I played it ten years ago. It's gone downhill in the last ten years. It needs more water and more grass, the fairways are getting to be in rough shape. The greens are still good. Play was slow. I understand it is February, but maybe space the tee times out a bit.

Thats the problem of most courses in AZ. Greedy for more money they do not space out tee times to 10-12 minutes like they do on the PGA where those guys actually know how to play ...lol. Instead they say when its clear then go well that closes the gap they should have.

It’s OK

It’s OK. Nothing exciting. I had fun, but I was the first one out and played in about 90 minutes. Greens were good, some fairways a bit patchy. Nothing memorable except friendly staff.
