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.

Worst golf experience in my lifetime

Half hour late teeing off. Got to 2nd hole to find 5 groups waiting on tee box . Eventually got to 4th tee box, looked over to 16 green to see 12 people putting on the green. We had a 6 some in front of us and a 5 some in front of them. I've never seen anything like it. Course used to be ok but is now a mess. Bare spots throughout fairways, greens terrible.

Paid for 18, only got 9 in before dark .

Don't waste your time or money on this place.

Crazy slow

We teed off at 230pm and only made it through 11 holes before it was too dark to play. Coming up to the second hole there was 20+ people waiting to tee off it was absolutely ridiculous! I’ve been playing here for a few years and every time I do it gets worse and worse but this time was too much so it will be my last time playing here.

Average condition

The course is not a $100 green fee course. Played it during tourist season and found very average conditions. Lots of bare spots here and there. Greens were OK but some were bumpy.

Don't waste your time or money

Started out 1/2 hour behind for a 3pm tee time. Had a 5 -some and a 6- some in front of us. Got to 2nd tee to find 5 groups on the hole. By the time we got to #4 we looked over to the green on #16 and saw 12 people on the green putting. Needless to say we only got 9 holes in and of course there is no one at the club house to get a refund.

Course used to be in ok condition but is now a disaster. Fairways are in terrible shape and greens aren't much better.

Worst golf experience of my life.

Not bad, but not worth the money

The greens were in pretty good shape, somewhat bumpy. The fairways had way too many bare spots in them. In the course basically runs right through a neighborhood with houses on both sides on every hole, so do not go for the scenery.

Overall, pretty good

The tee boxes weren't very well cared for. Pace was slow, but the ranger helped move the slow players along.

Overall Good Experience

The fairways were in good shape, but the rough and grooming in general were not in the best shape. Get ready for undulating and back-to-front greens. The pace slowed down on the back nine. Played in about 4 1/2 hours.
