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.

Not worth the price of admission

Don’t bother for more than $30. Terribly short and not in great condition…or even good condition for the middle of May. Summer must be like hitting off concrete.

Great Conditions and Good Value

The course is in excellent shape. Long uphill par-5 holes are a great challenge and put a premium on staying in the fairway. A few water holes that do not provide much challenge. 2 of us played the round in 3 hours. Cart service is good. Remember that after the 9th hole you are at the highest point on the golf course and farthest point from the clubhouse. Bring food and water and watch for coyotes who roam around. There are occasional bald eagles that fly overhead making this a great place to play at a very reasonable rate. Fore!

Course needs work

Lots of tall weeks, brown grass and dirt areas around fairways. Course needs an experienced superintendent.

Slow pace, but good time

Played here on a Saturday afternoon. Was paired up with another single and a twosome. The course was in decent shape. Greens and fairways were good. Some of the rough was drying out a bit. The tee boxes were pretty crowned and chopped up, but you could still get a tee into the ground and find a relatively flat spot. The pace of play was really slow after the first five holes. There were two twosomes and a group of three in front of us. Luckily it was a really nice day, but still round went a bit longer than I would have liked. I will play the course again as it gets cheaper and less crowded over the summer months.

Good condition fairways and greens.

The only knock on the course is the teeboxes are very unlevel.

Nice day on the course

The course was in pretty good shape. Tee boxes and rough were a bit beat up and burnt out, but the fairways and greens were good. The main issue was the pace of play. There were two twosomes and a threesome ahead of us. With so many short par 4s and par 3s, there were sometimes four groups on a hole. There were no course marshals that I could see. The water jugs were also out the remainder of the holes after the turn. I enjoyed the round, but if it was summer heat, this would have been tough.
