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.

Disappointed

They did not allow my wife to ride along and spectate, even for a fee. We haven’t had this happen at any other public course so it was quite disappointing.

This is my last resort golf course

I've been playing this course for many years. I love just two miles away, so it's very convenient. But it has one of the worst layouts for a golf course that I've ever seen. It's also been extremely neglected for the last twenty plus years and as a result, the surrounding areas (none fairways and greens are just plain sad. That said, the owner, who I once met just by chance while at Starbucks seems to be making an attempt to bring the course back to a more respectable condition. When we talked about the course I didn't yet know he owned it, so I was VERY. candid and probably more than a little too honest about with my feelings. Anyway, while I still play PM if I can't get on anywhere else, it's rarely an enjoyable round. But there does seem to be some small improvements being made. Let's hope that trend continues.

Ridiculous pin placement

I played this course for the second time in my life, and the pin placement today was utterly ridiculous. Most of the holes had the pin placement about 3 feet from the edge, either front or back. Hole number 10 and 14 were the worst. Not sure what the point of it all was, except to punish amateur golfers on a less then average golf course. Will not be back.

Worst pace of play in AZ

5.5 hours….finished 11 holes. They extremely overbook and have no one enforcing pace of place. Waste of money. Don’t play here.

slow pace of play and terrible pin placements

tee time at 1:37 and the last 5 holes were in the dark since the pace was slow. most of the pins were within 6 feet of the edge of green and some were even on the side of a hill and they were very fast

Starter people were great but the rangers and other personnel were unprofessional and wanted to argue every issue even when they were wrong

Frustrating Greens

This is a great course spoiled somewhat by greens that are really unfair. The pin placements were mostly on the side of a slope so if you miss your first putt, even by a hair, your ball is going to roll a good 5 feet or more away. The entire putting experience is an exercise in barely touching the ball to get it in motion.

Tee to green the course is in good shape and nicely challenging, especially if you don't know where the water hazards lurk.

Overall it was a fun day. Being paired with a great couple realy helped!

Great Value

We enjoyed playing Painted Mountain. The course layout was fun and challenging. The pace was slow but understandable given it’s the busy season.
