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.

No driving range, no consistency with green conditions and the ranger is non existent. This course needs to mention on their website that there is no driving range to warm up, not even nets to hit into. It was a 5 hour round, on a par 70 ridiculous! The ranger has no idea what the heck he is doing, he just drives around with a clipboard and doesn’t talk to anyone! The areas around the greens need to be shaved the grass is so tall and sticky it’s impossible to actually chop or pitch out of them, and the greens themselves and trash, some are fast some are shaggy and slow. They charge $100 to play here, BAD course stay away.

Don't play here

The pace of play is horribly slow...almost three hours first nine. I left after nine. The facilities leave much to be desired. No pop on the cart.

This must have been a nice place in the 70's...

It need a a total revamp.

Very poor conditions.

Courser's was in great shape. Greens were very nice. Can fairways were green with plenty of grass? I really liked this course . Very playable.

Inconsistent conditions, slow play

Not likely to return, mostly due to slow play. Pace seems to be systemic, not just a slow group ahead. Greens were inconsistent, some smooth and true, others bumpy. Several tee boxes were pretty beat up too. On one hole there was a nice long tee box with nice grass 20’ in front and behind the markers where the grass was dead and beat up like they hadn’t been moved for days. Staff was friendly though!

So Slow

If it wasn’t for the pace of play, I would go back and try it again. We enjoyed the couple we golfed with. However, it was miserable waiting on every hole. Sometimes 3-4 groups waiting to tee off. I’m not sure what the ranger is paid to do but it’s not keeping the pace of play. The whole course could use some improvements but wasn’t horrible.

Poor attitude ranger

We waited on the group in front. Never behind and got hurried by course ranger. I pushed back and told him we were waiting on the group ahead. I told him I didn't appreciate being pushed when we waited for the group ahead to clear the green. He replied maybe I shouldn't play here again. I will heed his request.

Nice course, but expensive

The course is a reasonable one but the pricing was excessive in relation to the course and amenities. The course is conveniently located but at $100 dollars a round it’s out of line. The spacing between groups was only 7 minutes which causes the inevitable waiting times on most holes.

first play

This is the first time I've played this course this year. It has improved some since last season. Greens and fairways seem better. Staff was friendly and reasonable helpful. Carts have no GPS, but are serviceable. Like the layout, simple without a lot of trouble to get into. Off course amenities seemed limited.

Best course conditions in a long time

I’ve played this course quite a few times over the last few years and have to say it’s in the best shape ever. Greens were smooth with very few “bumpy”overseeding spots. Staff was accommodating when we ran into some folks we knew and the suffled things so we could play together. I do wish they would put some good merchandise in the pro shop. They used to have a great selection of items.
