About

One of the pioneers in Las Vegas golf, Painted Desert Golf Course is a 1987 Jay Morrish design has golfers shooting at targets in the desert.

Painted Desert has maintained its place in the Sin City golf community through all its changes by putting on an emphasis on course conditioning. Just because your greens are almost two decades old does not mean they cannot be in better shape than many of the new kids on the block.

The desert is the focus here, but Morrish also works in a few lakes as obstacles.

"This golf course is a very friendly layout and you can score here without having a feeling of imminent doom on every hole," John Scappatura said. "We are a bit off of the beaten path, which means that we almost always have availability for tee times. Everyone who does make the trip out here though appreciates our conditioning, the price, and the friendly atmosphere."

Great course long waits

I really enjoy playing this course. Great staff, friendly Marshal, and great layout. One huge con that will prevent me from going back is how over booked the course is. It’s popular but when you have 3 on a tee box, a group waiting mid fairway, and one on the green it gets rather annoying. My last 18 I did this summer took nearly 6 hrs to finish and this last outing I only completed 9 in just under 3 hrs. Granted there was a freeze delay that backed them up and they did offer rain checks for incomplete holes I declined until they get their stuff together. Def would not recommend a weekend as there are better courses better managed at the same or better prices.

Starter is a clown! Pace of play is ridiculous

Unlike previous reviews, the starter was present but was clearly not present in mind, a hacking twosome was squeezed in between tee times and ruined the day. The starter clearly cares more about hooking up buddies and not respecting the pace of play. 4 groups backed up from tee box 1 to 18. Waste of a day and never again

Just OK

Fairly bland layout. Greens and fairways were nice, but tee boxes and cart paths need a lot of work. Range balls are in dire need of an upgrade. 3* course at best.

Slow

Only got through 13 holes with an 11:50 tee time. The course said they will refund my green fee but need to contact Golfnow so they can reach it to the course. We'll see how that goes.

Too long!

It took 5 and 10 min to complete 18 holes on Monday.
