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 enjoyed round except for pace of play. Foursome in front would enter scotes near green etc. and probably had three empty holes in front. No marshals to encourage.

Great layout and surrounding area with each hole approprietly named

Staff friendliness and willingness to help. We had a flat tire midway through our game & were sent a replacement cart in appropriate time. Course well groomed with a couple of tight fairways. Green speed average. Would play this course again.

You need to play from at least the blue tees. Not too challenging.

The course was in great condition, except they must have over watered because with every shot from the rough as well as the fairways was muddy.
Other than that I had a birdie and several pars, the greens were in great shape. Would play it again.

Too slow, too crowded

Nice course, in good condition. No marshals to keep things moving. After the first few holes we waited at every tee. We gave up after 15 holes and nearly 5 hours, and passed six groups jammed up on the final 3 holes.

Good course, better dining

If you aren't accustomed to the rough being rocks and hard packed sand, this is a tough place for a hook or a slice. Pretty course, but fairways are tight and unforgiving.

Not a course for walking. Long distances, very hot temperatures.

Restaurant was excellent.
