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."

I actually birdied this short par 4 ... now my favorite hole! Photo submitted by Wally4 on 02/01/2013
Fast greens
PD was in TOP condition. Fairways and greens were immaculate. Greens were super fast.
Great shape
The course was in very good shape throughout. I enjoyed the round. The only thing I can say for improvement is on the snack cart have some candy without nuts.
This course was recommended to me from a friend! The course conditions were very good which is most important to me! The layout was narrow and challenging which is good.
I would play here again
Good shape
Course was in good shape, we only waited on less than 5 shots all day. Greens were good and running about 8-9 on stimp
Windy Day & cart path needs improvement
Many parts of the cart path are buckled or broken. Some maintenance on the path would improve perceptions and play.
Nice course Needs some work
Love the course but they need to rope off bad areas as ground under repair and repair those areas. Also the cart paths in some areas are horrible.
Awesome course
Had a blast, will definitely be coming back real soon!!
It is not a very challenging course but its condition is good.
Good Experience
I really love playing this course, has a moderate level of difficulty, but I found it annoying that when I booked they didn't mention that the greens were punched. Slightly annoying to book a course with punched greens and then pay full price. Other than that a great experience.
