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.

What is pace of play

We were supposed to start our round at 2:07 , they didn't have any golf carts availble so we were waiting for other golfers to finish their round. We got to hole 4 and there were 3 groups waiting to tee off. We were finished 5 holes in 2.5 hours .

Shooting par is doable!

Ladies' tees have a great advantage. Short course is fun because it's possible for a beginning/intermediate golfer to make pars and birdies on multiple holes!

Course in rough shape

Front 9 is in very bad shape. Tees are dead, weeds everywhere. Rough is basically gravel. Not worth $60 a round! Maybe $25....

It was a 6.5 hr round. There were 7 groups on the number 7 hole. They need someone to monitor the pace of play.

20 guys sitting on the 3rd tee box staring at each other. And the 4th tee box, and the 5th, and so on. Almost 5 hrs and 45 min later the round is complete. Kind of a shame because the course wasn't in bad shape and it could have been enjoyable. Also fyi, no driving range or net to warm up in.

Better than expected

I read lots of reviews and most were terrible. I was pleasantly surprised on how good of shape the course was in. Pace of play was good. Just under 4 hrs greens were in good condition and fairways were good as well. I will play here again.

Maintenance

The photo they have on their ad is a complete lie. Course needs to be given some care. Too bad there is such a demand for golf. They are simply taking advantage of customers desperate to play.

Prep for Slow Play

Played here a few years ago. Wanted to check it out again.

Very disappointed with the slow pace of play. Would a marshall or course ranger assist in speeding up the slow groups or is this a situation where overlooking creates the delay? On the Par 3s there were 4 groups waiting at a teebox and one group on the green. Three groups behind us on the back 9 left the course knowing they would not finish before dark. We had teed off at 2:07.

If the pace of play was addressed I would consider returning and recommending this course to others.
