Painted Desert Golf Club

4hr50m round.

Main issue was the greens hadn’t been mowed on a Tuesday. Fairways and Tees hadn’t been mowed for several days and were not being mowed while we were playing. Bad lie in every fairway (ball nestled down in the grass).

Greens were fine but very slow for Vegas greens. IMO, more mowing and the course would have been significantly better. Maybe a Saturday round would be better.

Rate is comparable to a Nevada Resident rate at Paiute. Paiute is by far a better experience…if you can get a tee time.

Painted Desert is a great course and I will be playing again, but it seemed like my group was always waiting on the group in front of us and the group behind us was on top of us.

The desert definitely isn’t painted, it’s there….every hole, but not sure where the desert starts/stops and unkept fairway (bare) begins. This was nothing more than a regular muni course. $85? Nah….no good. Also, the cart paths are atrocious. I thought I was on a wooden roller coaster. If you don’t have back trouble before you play this course, you will by the end.

Houses on each hole, uncut fairways. Overall, it felt like they squished a golf course within a community. Lost a lot of balls in the “fairway”. Not one memorable hole.

Made a mistake on Golf Now and the staff was very helpful taking care of the issue

Course is lined by houses on every hole. Decently scenic but not very well maintained. Lots of bare areas, fairways and greens were muffy. Fairways still have a lot of grass shavings which really is inexcusable.

Tee boxes were hard , dead and dirt areas , hard dirt not sand in traps

Even though they are getting ready to overseed the course was still in decent shape . Greens were fast all things considered

Was the first time for me playing this course, I’ve always hear about it and I have great recommendations from it. Unfortunately when I get to the course the greens and fairways when in the best shape. They were poorly maintained. No gps on the cart

This was my best golf experience since I’ve been here. I have one more course to play.

Thank you to the staff they do a great job!!

You must hit these smaller fairways to have any chance of putting up a low score. Some fairways are partially blind from your view from the box. Course knowledge is key. You can't miss left and right is trouble on most holes played. Be aware,, do the research. Do not bring your friend here that struggles w a Driver off the tee. This course is for advanced golfers in general. The front tees are no bargain but that is where you play if you can't break 90 every day. This course will test your Iron play as well. How about your wedge game? Yes it will. Then you have to read these tough greens to putt well. Lots of false fronts and undulations to negotiate. Good luck. I enjoyed the course on every hole. Great condition. The practice Range is not worth a mention because they hit off mats. Practice green good. Golf shop good. Staff excellent. 5 Stars.

This is an excellent challenge for advanced golfers on down. You must be accurate off the tee box or you will be in for a long tough day. It's relentless on the back 9 too. I like the design and the greens roll true. A few spots where they dug out invading grass but it's healing just fine. Bunkers are well kept. I suggest playing the tee box that represents your skill level. Be honest. Move up. Trust me. You'll enjoy the round more. The pace was not great but it was a Sunday morning. It's hot out there so find shade. Drink water. The driving Range is horrible. Mats are not going to help you. Just stretch and putt. Practice green is fine. Nice course. Great shape. Great challenge. Don't bring your buddy here that can't break 90! He will hate you afterwards .

Due to lightning and thunder right above us we are we were persuaded to wait hoping the weather will blow over. The day before we enjoyed our round and arrive an hour late they honored and never said anything they were very nice deciding to play again since we enjoyed our time there we were shocked they decided not to let us go out or give us credit and even though weather conditions we’re not safe what a shame due to management we will not be going back painted desert is the closest course to my home
