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.

The course was a little beaten up. Fairways were uneven and had large patches of brown grass or dirt. The staff was friendly. No driving range. Pace of play was a little slow but not surprising for this time of year. $60 for a round of golf was fair.

Disappointed

Course was good. We got off around 4:15pm and the pro shop was closed, the restaurant and patio was also closed. Not sure when the pro shop usually closes but our wife's wanted to do some shopping but they couldn't. The restaurant and patio was supposed to be open until 9 pm according to their website, that was one of the reasons we booked this course. Very disappointing at the end of the round.

Disaster

Play PM before and it was in excellent shape. Have to say PM should be ashamed to charge that kind of money for a course in that condition. Tee boxes were horrible, some fairways in the middle had bald spots and dirt, around the edges looked like weeds growing in the field. I would not recommend or plan on attending this golf course again. I will say the only redeeming value was the greens were pretty good. do not waste your money, "even to just go out and have fun"

Average Course

Played the course on Dec 3, 2022. Overall condition was good, fairways were green with dead spots. Greens were just ok, tees were fair to terrible and not even/flat. Layout was plain with to many par 3 holes on the back 9.

I was somewhat disappointed with the experience and will not return.
