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."

Refund!!

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

Painted Desert 1/19/2021

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.

Awesome course!

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!!

Likely the worst course I’ve ever played

This course shouldn’t be allowed to take money. I’ve never played a course that is this poorly maintained. No grass, horrible overseer, bumpy lumpy greens and huge rocks in the bunkers. Not to mention the duck and goose crap EVERYWHERE...and I mean everywhere. I’m from Arizona and my wife and I play at a lot of courses both in AZ and Las Vegas. This is by far the worst course we’ve ever played in Las Vegas.

Challenging

I really liked this course. Different from other courses in town. Several different setups and narrow fairways. You can’t screw around here. You must hit your fairways or else!! Challenging and fun. One bad thing that others have posted. The cart path is horrible. The worst I’ve seen!! I should have taken my 4X4 instead of the cart. Beware of that. Otherwise great course, I’ll be back.

Poor condition

I don't know about other time.

When I played, the golf course was totally devastated.

The fairway was all dead and dried.
