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.

Poor customer relations, good greens, reasonable rate

Today at end of round went into golf shop and complained we were first out and played front in under 1 hr30 but back took over 2hr 30 since they put 20 people out on hole 10 Told was under 4 hours. It was not and pace of play back nine was horrific. Pro shop guy said d they could do what they want and if I did not like it, play somewhere else I thanked him for his poor customer service.

Good greens, cheap, course needs grass !

Slow Go

Took 45 min for the first two holes. Four foursomes backed up on the second hole. After that the rate of play improved drastically and the round was enjoyable. Course conditions were not bad. The layout is basic but still challenging. Overall good value for the money and great staff.

Fairways are hard and rough along the edges too long. Trouble finding ball and hitting out.

Slow round on mediocre course

The greens were in great condition, but the fairways were poor and the rough was mostly rock. Not as in nicely landscaped desert, just sparse bits of grass fading to dirt. Not very inspiring or even memorable. And the slow pace of play didn’t add to our enjoyment.

My 1st hole in one!

The course was in pretty good shape and we did not have any problems once we got by hole 2 with being backed up! Some people just have no bias for leaving negative comments. By the way this was a special day as I aced hole 10 for my 1st ace. Been playing 23 years and wow ! That felt amazing. Give this place a shot and also they opening a new Pizza place this week.

Tee times to close together

Pace as in other reviews is an issue. Tee times are 7 minute apart. Many recreational golfers so tough to keep pace steady. Less tee times would also put less stress on the tee boxes which some were in rough shape. Great value though.

Reseed Inconsistent

Course was in general decent condition. There was some inconsistency and the receded grass. The, gravel in the rough was irritating. Sometimes 10 yards from the fairway you would be in gravel. There were also areas that were completely dead where you would expect grass to be..

Groups of 8 and 7 ?

We were surprised to see a group of 8 playing in front of us. The ranger told us there were groups of 6 and 7 in front of them. Needless to say we were waiting a lot. Who made the decision to allow these large groups? I hope it doesn't happen again as I like playing this course.
