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.

Expectation Management

After reading the reviews, I went to golf knowing that play would be slow. Typically golfing in the afternoon affords more novice players a chance to play at a more reasonable price; therefore, if you are intermediate or better, then pay the higher green fee and go out earlier. I am an intermediate player and chose to save some money, enjoy the random people who I get paired up with, and the nice Weather. Yes, there was a lot of waiting and the round took four hours and 45 minutes, yet I was mentally prepared to play slower and enjoy the game and course.

I liked the course. Fairways and greens were in good shape.

It was just very slow. We waited on every tee box for the group ahead to tee off. They were waiting as well so it was someone ahead of them that was holding tings up, or the groups were too close together.

So much potential but would not recommend!

Sadly I was disappointed with my overall round. I usually play Painted mountain a few times a year and now I couldn’t imagine going back. Carts were piled up on multiple holes and it’s bo exaggeration when I say we waited for about 5-10 minutes on each hole. The restaurant was well below average for service and I would not recommend the food either. The course has a lot of potential because I love the layout but the conditions were average for this time of year but they need to make some major changes with pace of play, the restaurant, and the staff in regards to pushing people off too quickly.

Very enjoyable round of golf

We totally enjoyed thi course wasn’t to difficult. But did challenge you at times. The staff was very friendly even recommending other courses to play since we were from out of town. Some nice scenery as well. I recommend this course.
