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.

Course needs work

Tee times were running behind almost an entire hour. Beautiful scenery, but course itself not so much. Lots of sparse brown grass and dirt. I'm used to looking down a fairway and seeing lush green, but my focus seemed to be caught by natural areas. This course needs work. First and last time playing.

Fun

Fun course. Thought it was in pretty good shape and definitely has a lot of scoring opportunities as it’s not the longest but a lot of cool holes. Group of 4 slow women held us up and couldn’t finish last 2 holes but I’d play it again.

Fairly easy course but over priced

Course in decent shape. Fairways under seeded but green in decent shape. Play was delayed due to frost but played 18 in less than 3.5 hours.

Tough day

The course staff did a heck of a job, given the delay for frost. Course marshals were good except for one, I don’t know what his problem was.

Fairways were patchy and wet in some areas. Greens were for the most part in good condition, please fix your ball marks.

WAY OVERPRICED

Grew up playing this course a lot. Cart guys are great and staff, but the pace of play is absolutely ridiculous for the price they’re asking for a round. The max for this course with the conditions and pace of play should be no more than $55. Evening tee times no more than $25. Don’t play here. View Point down the street is a better value for the course. Better pace and course is nicer.

Space Tee Times Properly

Well kept course, amazing staff…terrible pace of play…multiple instances with FOUR groups on one hole…obviously overselling tee times and overpopulating the course makes for a miserable overall experience. Unable to finish 18 holes with a 2:20 team time. Miserable.

Fair but redo

The golf course looks pretty fair after just closing for to overseed. My thought would to go over the course with the overseed equipment and dazzle some areas with more seeding.

Recommend.

Some surprise hazards for first timers

If you’ve never played this course you may be surprised at walking up tour ball and discovering a water hazard just a few feet away—- if you’re lucky. The water hazards are practically invisible from the tee box. Once you get familiar with them, of course your decision to lay up or go for it becomes much more data driven.

On the whole the course is fairly challenging for all but the very best golfers. Even scratch players might find it amusing if not worth the trip for the sheer beauty of it.

The staff was extremely friendly.

The only downside was the adjoining restaurant was closed for renovations, but there is a pretty good Thai bistro just down the street.

All in all, a great way to end our golf vacation.
