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
No answer when call
My trip got delayed and I called the course to let them know that I will be running late but no one picked up.
I called 5 times still no one picked up so I gave up.
I end up not getting to play at all.
Awesome conditions
The only thing this course is lacking is cart path maintenance. Some of the cracked concrete paths can cause a back injury but other than this the course is in great shape for this HOT time of year !!
Best value
Best course conditions in las vegas for a course under $50. EXCEPT FOR THE GOLF CART PATHS NEED MAJOR REPAIRS.
I would go back It was just hot 102 degrees and only 2 water fountains while playin would be nice too have more water on course and no ball washers. But other than that great course very nice would go back
Nice golf course!
First time player in this golf course and I loved it. Will recommend. Good fairway conditions and greens. Only problem that no cart girl/guy passed to offer drinks or snacks during the whole round. Be ready with your own stuff.
Great greens
Wonderful greens. Roll very well and actually soft which is rare here in Vegas.
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
