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.

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.... :(

Terrible

Haven’t played this course for about 2 years…I remember why now. Tee boxes are not level, weeds throughout fairways with bare spots….holes on sides of rises in greens, etc.

Has potential, but I’d avoid for now

Good condition

I hadn't played here in many years, and was surprised at how nice the fairways and greens were. Good lies just about everywhere, and the greens held and rolled good.

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.
