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.

Par 2.5s

We showed up at the course. There was no driving range. Once on the course ALL the Par 3s were having the tee boxes redone. So every Par 2 @ 100 yards. No one told us this in the club house.

The greens were in great shape and the course is in pretty good shape. If it was not for the lack of communication about Par 2.5s we would have been alight.

Fast summer golf

Course was firm, greens were thick and slow. Tee boxes of the par 3’s are under remodel so all are in the 70-85 yard range. Even with these issues, fun place to play. Fast round, nice staff all getting to practice short game.

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.
