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."

Always like the layout of the course and it was in Great condition. The only reason 4 stars is that the cart paths are brutal. But, I don’t play off the cart path and the.course was in great shape. Lol.

An oldie but a goodie!

Had a great time revisiting an older Las Vegas layout. Overall the course itself was in fantastic shape, and being the first time off in the morning lent itself to a rathe enjoyable pace of place with no one in sight (we didn’t rush either). Everyone we encountered was friendly and it has made me want to put this course back into my weekly rotation. Keep up the good work PD…see you again soon!

Dissatisfied

Did not match rating, more of a muni course, and overpriced for the quality of the course. Tee boxes were terrible along with the bunkers that were filled with rocks mixed in the sand. Driving range was pitiful, mats worn out, had to pay for balls, no tees on the mats. Recommend choosing another course in the area.

Great Weather and Great Golf

Weather was perfect.

Golf score was great.

Fairways were in good shape.

Greens rolled the prior Monday and

Played on Saturday made is a bit bumpy in some places for putts.

Staff was very friendly - everywhere from club house to cart rental and all good and beverage contacts inside and on the course

Sub Par Experience

Well the course has sure been let go since I played there 3 years ago. To bad as it has as a great course to play. Still fun to play need to ds a bit f up keep. Members and staff a little on the rude side. Stuffy attitudes for a low budget course. Price was a little high for the amenities and course conditions.
