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.

Good value but slow play and crabby starter

Course was in great shape and it was a good value for the price, but be prepared for a 5+ hour round and verbal abuse from the starter. He was very rude when you asked questions and he was bad at his job as we started 10 minutes late for a 7:20 tee time.

Slowest round ever

First off we started 15 minutes late and took a little over 5 hours to get through 15 holes. Not to mentioned sitting in 100 degree heat between holes. Not good

Nice conditions

For the mid-to-high handicapper this is a course that gives you your money's worth. The greens were very good, as well as the fairways. Friendly staff and good food.

Terrible customer service

Went to play with a foursome (and my mother, a fifth to hang out) when we asked for a 3rd cart we’d happily pay a cart fee for, we were told no. Apparently they don’t allow 3 carts together and split is up into a threesome and a single. Play was extremely slow by the second hole so we grouped up to help with pace of play. We were then met with hostility about not paying a rider fee and was told we would be dealt with when the round was over. We ended up splitting up again and we’re continually harassed About not allowing three carts in one group. Overall, staff was very angry and short tempered for no reason. Will never play here again.

Great valus in the east valley

The course is in good shape and the staff are friendly. The pace was a bit slow ending in a 5 hour round, but the staff did step in multiple times to get groups moving.

Weirdest Course I’ve ever played

Went to check in for my round and grab a couple beers. One of the staff says they can’t sell beer but can sell white claws, weird but what ever. I go practice putting before the round(no driving range). Another guy comes out and says I can get beer after all. Great, I go to swap out my white claw and half way back to the cart they chase me down and say no beer after all. The snack shack lady said she couldn’t even sell white claws. Zero cart girl making rounds. Half the reason I golf is to have a couple of beers with my buds. Weird place, weird people. Ran terribly which is a shame because the course was decent and pace of play was just fine.

Not worth 100 a round

Greens were in great shape fairways not bad but the par 37 front and par 33 back is a little strange but for a 100 bucks there are plenty of better course.I would say it's a 70 buck a round course.

The course looked great

For spring golf, this course was marked on the “ cheaper” side for cost, but the course was in great condition.. very green. The greens were a bit fast. Pace of play was good. On a Saturday it took 4:15 to play 18. We would definitely recommend this course.

Very nice course. Will be back!

Course was very nice and a great value for the money. Fairways and greens were in very nice condition. Greens really rolled beautifully! Pace of play was fine. Bunkers were not sandy and some tee boxes were pretty beat up. But it was a great course for the cost, and I walked away very pleased with my selection. Have played several courses out here this month, and this is one I will recommend!
