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."

Golfer Reviews
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.
Marty-Henderson
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.
very good
Very nice golf course. Very good green. And very good condition.
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.
Great course for the price.
Not too hard, but lots of challenging holes. Greens in good shape and rolling true.
Greens always good
One of my favorite courses in town Nice set up good shape good bartender too
Good round
I love to play this course. It presents many challenges especially from the tips Great course. Good condition
Greens are the bes around the Las Vegas valley.
Well kept facility. Great greens. Course was in good shape for this time of year. Can't beat the price.
Great play for the golf now 'Hot Deal'
Great play for the golf now 'Hot Deal'. Twelve dollars unbelievable. Great course.
poor play pace
The overall course was great everyone (staff) was very nice but the pace of play was bad. No one would let me play through left after eleven holes.
I Love This Course
The lay out is spectacular! Tucked in between the homes located aound the golf course, the fairways are ample yet challenging.
Hot day in Vega
Overall a good day of golf. The fairways play a bit narrow and the bunkers are well placed to catch a high handicappers balls. The greens were in very good condition. The mix of holes that played long and those that I had a chance to make par was good.
Painted Desert
Great deal from Golf Now. Staff was very friendly and helpful. One slow foursome ahead of several twosomes but they let them all play through; round was completed in less than 4 hours.
This course is a Sweetie!
Cart guy met us in the parking lot and helped load up my clubs as soon as we arrived. Starter and cart guy were so nice and helpful. Being from Ohio, this course is way different from what I am used to. This course is a sweetie and a Kodak moment on most holes.
Leave the Gorilla at home! You need to be straight here. Seeing the great condition of the tee boxes and fairway on the first hole let me know I was in for a good day. What a fun course. By the way, we had lunch in the clubhouse and it was awesome also.
