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
Will be making one of my regular courses
Course was in excellent/good condition if you stay in or just off the fairways, greens and traps were in excellent shape. Course not too difficult but was very fun to play. Price was right (GN hot deal).
Good course
Good round of golf. Course in good condition. Greens are nice and green and in good shape. Cart paths could be redone but I wouldn’t knock the course for that. Looking forward to playing a round there again
Painted Desert twilight round Sunday
The price was exorbitant. Twice the price for less service. No resident discount through Golf Now. Cancelation not available within same day of booking.
Greens are rolling well!!!
Painted has implemented a new cup which doesn't allow the ball to go in the cup and once you get used to it this makes you more aggressive and makes the game more fun, Plus the greens are in great shape.
Worst Course I Ever Played.
Not worth your time and money. Can not believe they offer this on Golf Now. No grass on fairway.
Messy track ! No services !
Only the small greens are in good condition. The fairways were left with lots of grass clippings. Once you are off the fairway, you should mind your clubs. Have problems of finding the golf course with Tomtom !
Great layout-Awfull condition
Played here- bought range balls..awful condition-when I spoke to the pro-his attitude was that’s the way it is-
Course layout was great-condition poor..awful greens bumpy-Sand bunkers was hard as a rock z
Wouldn’t recommend it-Service at bar was the only positive part of the day
Painted desert
Excellent condition. Interesting to play. Slow play
Fun course
Nice course with challenging fairways. Friendly locals.
Jam at the T box
I really enjoyed this course..great layout greens were excellent..just one suggestion..spread out the tee times to maybe 8-10 minutes apart..had to wait an avg. of 10 minutes at EVERY tee box..just under a 5hr round.
Greens are great
Very slow play. Cart person only saw once. No starter. Very disappointed in staff all around, seem disorganized. Course is in good shape. Greens were great!
Excellent value
The course was in great shape for this time of year. The fairways were in good shape. The tee boxes and greens were excellent. The sand was good to. The rough was weak, but that's to be expected right now. The only complaint I would have is the cart paths are in really bad shape. Overall great value for what you pay.
Painted desert
The course is overpriced for the layout and the conditions. It was just in average shape and the greens had been punched and sanded and they did not let me know. I would not play this course again.
