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."

Always a fun course

I really enjoy this desert course. But it is brutal if you don't stay on the grass. A few fairways are NARROW with houses hugging the fairways. When the grass stops, the native hard desert takes over. I am playing nearly near clubs. I soured a very pretty 6 iron hitting off the hard surface. But the course is a true desert course. There is a good mix of risk reward short holes and some bomber holes. Fun course.

Great course, will be back soon.

Found a great deal on Golfnow and decided to give this course a try. Upon arrival easy to find clubhouse, friendly started welcomed me to the course. When walking into clubhouse was greeted with another warm welcome and check in was fast. Gave me a huge bucket to practice and personally showed me where 1st tee, and driving range were located. Course was great! Some cartpaths that need serious repair besides that, you will love this course. Live in Henderson but would drive anyday to Painted Desert. These guys have it right!!!

Tight fairways make you think carefully about club selection. Greens are in top shape, true on the read.

Greens were very thick and slow they need to be cut down. Tee boxes were also in rough shape.

Very nice Circuit

Only drawback was the cart path condition. Lots of raised or missing sections of concrete.
