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.

Painted Mountain Golf Course, Mesa

We really enjoyed our round of golf from start to finish. For the kind of summer we’ve had here, the course was in great shape. The starter was very friendly. Great course to play. Thank you.

Needs a lot of help

I hadn't played this course in several weeks. I looked at the reviews and I don't know what course they were playing but it wasn't this one. The tee boxes are fair at best, most are very unlevel. There were several holes with temporary tees. The fairways have a lot of areas without grass or are patchy. The greens were slow and soft, but good. This is a $30 course not a $50 course.

Poorly Maintained & Bad Service

I know it’s summer, but the fairways were almost non-existent. Half brown/dirt & half crab grass. $60 is a descent price but there are courses that charge the same or less in way better condition this time of year. Would not play here again without seeing the fairways. Plus the beverage cart service was bad. I’m a good tipper & the service was rough - made it difficult to want to keep buying from her. Also, they don’t serve hard alcohol so don’t expect to get a mixed drink here. I don’t like giving bad reviews but holy cow, they need to work on a few things.

Over priced for scorched up summer fairways

I understand cost of maintenance has gone up but 55 dollars for scorched fairways with no grass, scummy ponds, horrible bunkers and greens that were similar to carpet is kind of ridiculous. Also they allowed a group of 8 on a busy Sunday morning. They told them no at the beginning but the range drove right past them and didn’t try to break it up or send anyone ahead so it slowed us down to where we had to wait 5-10 minutes on every hole for the 8 person group to clear the green or get far enough on the fairway for us to tee off.

No turn house

This course starts at the club house and doesn’t return until the end. They don’t allow outside beverages but also didn’t have a cart girl until the 15th hole , don’t provide ice, and no food or beverage on course. Course layout is odd. Most of the tee boxes were moved up for reseed
