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.

Nice Grass, Horrible People.

They overseeded early, which was smart, and the grass looks great. But they treat Golf Pass members like beggars that they would run over in the street. No beverage cart, ever, and overbooked with senior snowbirds making pace of play unbearable! Their golf shop looks like a tiny east-coast bodega. Don't waste your money on this dog track.

5+ hour round, no range, slow greens

I called ahead and asked about conditions since they overseeded weeks ago. He said they’re great. I asked what the current pace of play is and he said 4 hours and they’re running on time today. I get there and learn there’s no driving range so we can’t warm up for the 605yd hole 1. We waited 5-10 minutes on most holes and I could see it was backed up at least 3 groups in front of us. And the overseeding made the greens super slow and almost unplayable. Maybe they’ll be better in a few weeks. Teed off at 2pm and couldn’t finish the round before dark. On the bright side, the views were nice and it’s decently priced assuming pace and conditions were better.

DON'T WASTE YOUR HOT DEALS HERE!

I've always given this course five stars, because of the way the staff treats me. (Even though it's a dog track in summer) But then I met Jason. He made me wait for 2 hours to use my Hot Deal tee time, for no reason! The tee sheet was EMPTY! He treats Golf Pass members like beggars. The other employees there actually apologized for him! They over-seeded early, and the grass was great. The greens were SUPER SLOW! ZERO STARS!

2 hours for 6 holes.

Didn't have time for a 6 hour round today. Evidently they don't have a marshall on the course or he doesn't care

Not bad for a older course

Greed and fairways in ok shape. Felt like we were the only ones on the course at time of play. Price point I feel was a bit higher than what we expected. Have played much nicer courses for less. Overall good experience.

Fast Play, Course in Good Shape, Nice Challenge.

I needed my 5-iron several times on par 3's and longer par 4's. The course is always in decent shape, and the layout is challenging. The staff there always treat me very well, letting me tee off early on a Hot Deal. Great value! I paid about $23, and played in 2 1/2 hours.

Good Course, Nice People

The staff here always lets me tee off early to avoid the worst of the heat. I played in 2 1/2 hours for $23 with Golf Pass deal. The par 3's are challenging, and the course is in decent shape.

Good course for the money but...

I've played here many times and it's always a fun day. The layout is good and the playing areas are pretty well maintained. But the area surrounding the course are not good at all. Unfortunately this time, on a day of 112 degrees there was no carts service and the snack shop at the turn was closed, so getting something to drink was not an option. Not a good thing on a hot day. Aside from that it was a nice day of golf.
