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.

Group policies just wrong

Got to the course, pro shop allowed groups of 5 out ahead, pace of play dead slow. Later saw some bizarre group of 20 guys all on 1 hole playing some best ball format. Will not play there again

Better options

Fairways were very sparse, had to move the ball to find grass, greens were good, very slow on back nine due to back to back par 3, with so many great courses in the area I wouldn’t return here

Forgettable

I wanted to like this course. Not able to do it Started 1/2 hour later than scheduled. Tee boxes, fairways and greens all pretty sketchy. Would suggest you not waist your time with this one...

Needs some maintenance.

If you play this course, just make.sure you have reasonable expectations. The fairways had a ton of bald patches. Lots of dirt everywhere. The facility itself needs some upkeep. I caught my shirt on a staple that was sticking out in the doorway to the bathroom. There was no toilet seat! The pins were mostly placed on steep slopes on the green which is a no-no. Made it impossible to not have it roll 6 or more feet passed, even on a short putt.

Snowbirds are back!!

Golf course is in good shape, pro shop and outside service staff are great as always. This time of year the snowbirds arrive and that means slow slow play. Tee off after 2:00 and made it to hole 14 by 5:30 when I said good buy. I will wait again till end of april and play every week again. I am sure most courses are the same and that is why I will wait till spring. Thank you painted mt. staff. Reason I put down cold was because after 5:00 when sun was going down everyone complained about it being cold.

Nice Course, well maintained

Friendly staff, course in good condition and painted mtn nicely framed in background as pictured on the site. There are some challenges with water, bunkers and trees. Greens were average speed and good condition. They have a concession at the turn that was speedy, proshop but there is no driving range. For myself, driving range is a must as I work out any immediate issues before my round.....fairways are average width.
