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.

It was fine overall as a municipal course but the pace of play was a nightmare - some of the worst I have ever experienced. Five hours,fifteen minutes is massively unacceptable for this course. I did see what looked like a ranger out there but he did nothing to speed up play.

No matter what standard of golfer you are (I am an 18) it still shouldn’t give you the right to go so slow.

Until the ranger politely lights a fire under people’s butts, this will always turn a good time into a pain in the neck.

Painted mountain conditions

The fairways were in bad condition. Areas of sparse grass and dirt ground and mud. Tee boxes very bumpy and sparse grass with dirt and wet ground. The greens were very slow not mowed close.

Appears the course has shut off the water but some areas ie. The 18th fairway was soaking wet in some areas.

Pleasant surprise

I enjoyed my round at Painted Mountain. The fairways were firm and fast but not burnt. The greens were in fair shape. I did not get into any bunkers but they looked good. The pace of play was great, less than 3 hours. Two groups allowed us to play through.

Fun course!

The course is fairly wide open and can accommodate most skill levels. The fairway grass is not as lush as many of the more expensive courses, however, the greens were in great shape.

Transition to Summer conditions is coming along great

Played 18 in 2 hours 50 minutes with a twosome. Greens, fairways, and teeboxes are in very good condition ... excellent during this time of transition. Would highly recommend over most courses I've played in the past 2 months ... Great job by their staff!

Hot and closed

The staff were great. The course is fairly easy but has the occasional challenging hole. The layout does not allow a swing by the clubhouse as you couldn't be further away from it. The greens were fast. Fairways good and the rough was...well...rough! I have been playing here off and on for years and always have a good time. I look forward to sitting in the bar or patio and watching the other golfers come in on #18....So why was the bar and restaurant closed?? I know, Memorial Weekend and no one would be golfing, eating or drinking.... :(
