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.

Slow Play spoiled a beautiful day.

Greens were quick and rolled true. but fairways on front 9 had a lot of bare spots. Course is relatively easy as houses don't typically come into play even for 20+ handicap like me. This was a Saturday noon tee time on Superbowl weekend, and the course was packed. We teed off right on time but then it took 1.5hrs to play first 4 holes. After 5 hours and 15 holes we left the course as play was just too slow. Will have to try the course again during a less busy time.

Slowest Round Ever

Very nice fairways and nice greens, but a little too fast on the greens with slopes that made some putts weird. On one green every one in our foursome had a ball almost stop one to two feet from the flag, but they all rolled six feet away from the stick.

The starter said it should take 4 hours and 10 minutes to play, then warned us of a holdup on number two. On hole two there were 3 foursomes waiting to tee off as another group was putting on that par 3 as we approached after finishing on hole one. We finished in 5 hours on hole 18.

Double booked

Reserved my tee time only to find that They double booked. Blamed GolfNow for the issue and did not take a positive approach to the problem.

Very disappointing!!!

Tee boxes in rough shape but rest of course ok.

May play there again and hope to not have problems.

Painted mountain review

Course in very poor condition compared to others I have golfed within the same category. Most of the tee boxes had little to no grass and we're very uneven. Pace of play was slow even though there was a ranger driving around.

First off was not told they do not have a driving range . Secondly pull up grab a cart and then was told we couldn’t have this cart because they needed for a group ahead of us . So by the time we got a cart and teed off it was 1:30pm . 3 hours for the front . Extremely unorganized set up . Pay the extra and go somewhere nice .
