Painted Desert Golf Club

Great local course. Pace of play was on the slower side. Greens were in fabulous condition

The bunkers didn’t have any rakes. The cart path was dangerously uneven and broken. The starter told me to do the back nine first then when I started the front nine I found 3 groups ahead of me since the starter put them in front of me.

I then quit and went home since I didn’t want to spend the next 4 hours behind those groups.

This was the worst course I’ve ever played and would never recommend this course to anyone.

It wasn’t worth the money I paid.

Every tee box is uneven. Lots of rough areas of the course too. Some greens are nice, but not all of them. The cart paths are all chewed up, and it’s like off roading while driving down them. Too expensive for the conditions!

The course has a nice challenging layout with nice fairways and greens. Some holes require a straight tee shot. I was pulling many of my tee shots on the back nine and had difficult second shots due to ball locations.

Be warned that there is no ranger or starter on this course. Be prepared for 5+ hour rounds! The staff was fine, course was okay! WAY WAY over priced based on condition of course. Anything over $30 is a rip off to play here, it’s pretty poor! When you go play the courses in the cereal vicinity like Los Prados or even Durango Hills is better than this place and much much cheaper! This is run by one of the lower end course management companies, and it truly shows! Greens are beaten, fairways are also tore up, and not one tee box is flat! It’s a total joke of a course! I’m serious about the tee box’s too. Beware!

I play this course regularly. The conditions of the grass was the best I’ve seen all winter. Lush fairways and soft greens.

We arrived 30 minutes early. They had a tourn in the am and it delayed all the tee times by 1 hr and 15 minutes. Our tee time was at 12:36 and we did not tee off until 1:40pm. We only got thru 14 holes. Very disappointing!! We are requesting a full or partial refund! Please respond...

No carts available which delayed tee time by 30 minutes, no range balls .

Greens not bad, fairways not ideal, cart paths horrible.

Staff very nice

Make sure you drive it straight and have a good feel on speedy greens.

Fairly narrow fairways. If you are not in the fairway, it’s pretty likely you are in the desert. Greens seem firm on approach shots but were soft while putting. I will be playing again.

Played on a cold and windy day and still had a great time and great round. The course lends itself to be played by every type of player. Drivable holes, lay up holes and risk-reward ones too.

Highly recommend it!! Not to mention, the best club sandwich I’ve ever had!!
