Painted Desert Golf Club

We had a noon tee time which we figured would allow us plenty of time to finish. Upon arriving at the course, we were told they had frost delays in the morning and were still running behind. If frost delays were in the morning, why wouldn’t they alternate front and back nine to get caught up???

Instead, we were forced to wait and didn’t tee off until closer to 1. There was NO starter and NOBODY on the course monitoring pace of play We waited on EVERY hole and finished in the dark. We won’t be going back to this course.

From arrival at pro shop and dealing with friendly staff the start of the experience helps get the round started. Course condition and layout are great. Layout forces you to consider and reconsider club choice fue to properties lining the course as well as managing the holes that require the ego and driver to remain in the bag. Very much enjoyed the round and the course and it’s amenities. Price point was great when based on booking through golf now. Would recommend.this course.

It was a fun course to play, a little tighter than some, but overall a good experience and value. Had a great time with the locals I played with, and staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Overall I liked the course. The course was in very good shape. Playing out of the desert is tough!!! Cart paths & sand traps need some love.

Don’t understand why first and 9th hole were completely lush and par 3’s were lush entire hole. But fairways were good. Green are great.

Have played this course a few times this year. Much better play since they over seeded. Still can't understand the 7 minute start times as, inevitably, the play gets a little backed up. Not bad this time (4hrs - 20 mins) but last time was almost 5 hours. I've never seen a Marshall on the course to move play along. Might be something to look into. All-in-all a good bet to play for a nice day of golf!

Had a hole in one but it was my second shot.I also though Johnny the supervisor working on that hole signed my card since he was my witness on that hole.My wife didn't see from her golf cart since she was far away from tee boxn so Johnny was the only one saw my shot n but it was my second ball on that green but getting in that hole was still marvelous n shocking for me n saw it go in the hole from my tee box too.Exciting n lucky to get hole after my first shot got in the water .So I re-tee it with the same club n put more gusto on my swing n got before the green n bounce one time n it started to go towards the hole n went in afterwards n said it went in n I threw my golf club in the air n screams it went in n had a hole in one but instead a par but still amazing since never ever done that in my entire life either.So it was unique n shocking at the same time too.

I played 9 holes in 4 and a half hours, when it hit 5 hours we ended up leaving. Every time I go we are waiting almost near 30-45 mins a hole

I really enjoyed the course layout and narrow fairways. It demands your attention but once you get to the greens they need better maintenance. Dings, dry patches in fall was kinda of disappointing and made putting rather challenging.
