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.

Pace of play

Pace of play for first 15 holes was brutal. After 15 holes a lot of people were leaving the course before they played entire game In front of us the slow players must have completed their game and things speed up. Course is lovely and in good shape.

The staff was rude

We arrived with 4 people, only 3 golfers, 1 ride along. Was told by a staff member a ride along was fine. When we went to get a cart, he said no, no riders. We were never told that so we left. As we were leaving we heard the staff member talking to another customer about how rude WE were. Very unprofessional, and it was because he wanted his friend to go out at our time. Will never go back, wont recommend

Better than last time

We had 2 rounds booked at Painted Mountain for our annual Girls Golf Trip. While we were disappointed the first time, it was a bit better the second time around. Knowing the course helped and the staff was much friendlier and helpful. Pace of play was still on the slow side. Still keeping PM off our list of courses to play.

Painted Mountain

This was our first time playing this course. We tee’d off right on time and pace of play was perfect. Greens were true and fairways were in good shape. We stayed for a drink on the patio - a nice way to end the day. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Will play it again next year during our annual trip.

Painted Mtn a good deal for the $

Had a 0700 tee time, starter let us out early,. Very fast play, finished in about 3 1/2 hours. Course conditions were excellent, fairways and greens in great shape, lush. Greens are the course defense, length from white tees is not huge. Nice layout, a very fun play.

Hot and cold

We played Painted Mountain for the first time with our ladies golf trip. When we arrived, a member event was just finishing so there was no where to put our bags at the bag drop. We unloaded the car and found an area, but not one of the gentlemen in the starters booth even made eye contact with us - too busy flirting with the members. Finally they let us know that there were no carts available, and when they finally brought carts up, no assistance was offered to load our bags. However at the end of the round, the cart guys were very polite and helpful with loading the car.

The course itself is fine for the price we paid. Greens are in good condition, tee boxes a bit rough, and if you are not in the fairway, there are a lot of area with gravel/sand. None of this particularly bothered us as we are from Alaska and have played much worse!

The pro shop is very nice - almost a gift boutique with a wide variety of products. Mimi in the restaurant was delightful and the Friday fish fry was well done.

We will play the course again as we’ve already booked a tee time, but we are taking it off our list for future trips.
