Painted Desert Golf Club

This was the best course I played during my visit this year, outstanding condition. It would give anyone a good challenge.

We had slow play conditions as we waited on every hole due to three sets of 5 to six players on every tee box ahead of us. Never had this happen to us on any other course. Was disappointed their was no course marshall out to correct this situation.

While in town for the Pac-12 championship, was looking for some new courses to play. GolfNow.com had a super deal for this course. This course was fun and challenging. From a few longer holes, to some risk/reward short par 4s. We had a lot of fun. The course was in great shape. The staff was friendly, attentive and helpful. The pace of play on the day we played was slow (5 hours) but we made it through. I would recommend this course.

Chose this course because of player reviews talking about the greens. I was not disappointed. The greens were great. The length of the course is nothing to brag about, but the strategically placed bunkers and water hazards makes for fun and interesting play. Very enjoyable round, even with the interruption of a hail storm. Even got to see a wayward coyote trotting down the fairway. The only recommendation for improvement would be to add some sand to some of the bunkers. It was a little thin at times.

for the price paid we should have a chipping area, a starter and most of all a Marshell to control place of play. Five hours for two player is not acceptible. The group ahead should have let us through on tha start of the back nine or at leasted sped up play.
raking the sand traps and fixing ball marks must not be part of you rules? We must of fixed at least three ball marks not ours on each green. it would also be nice if you could bet rid of the bird dropings.

not worth the money for tourists. better courses in Vegas for less money

Beautiful course! Very well maintained and in very good shape! Painted Desert is not a long course, but you definitely need to hit the ball straight and keep it in play in order to score well here.

Honestly, this is just as straight forward as golf gets. Everything is right in front of you, no tricks, no dog legs, just aim and fire. And plenty of yardage relief for the beginners, seniors and ladies.

The greens were in outstanding shape for February. They didn't really hold well, but they rolled true and very fast.

Good course requiring a variety of shots and shot shapes. The greens are fast but probably the most consistent in Las Vegas from hole to hole, day to day, month to month.

Played this course with 2 buddies as we were all in Vegas for golf and Super Bowl. Excellent weather (19C / 70F). Course was in nice condition. Greens ran true. Good challenge. Would recommned it to others.

I read reviews on GolfNow and selected Painted Desert to try on a golfing trip with my buddies. Glad we did. Fairways were lush and the greens wonderful and fast (I do wish more people repaired their ball marks- I was repairing 3 or 4 per green, sadly too few were mine.) The holes each have unique character. There is water and lots of sand. It is a fair test. Appears to be heavily played, but the pace was reasonable for lots of foursomes. Some issues with mud hens (looks like the course is trying to keep them away). Good golf course food, friendly people and great service. I will be coming back to this course frequently. I do not, on the whole, like golf courses that wander through houses ... but this is a great one. My apple phone map program dropped us 180 degrees and several miles away from the entrance to the course ... which turned out to be like 100 yards off the freeway. On the hole named for a kitten ... the cat actually came out and greeted us ... nice touch.

Course is a great length for every player, fairways are wide but still changeling. loved it with the exception of the wind on the day we played..we are looking forward to coming back on our next trip.

This course can't be beat. By booking through Golfnow.com, I was able to get my golf, golf cart, range balls, lunch, and club rentals for $49.00!!! They even provided a "rock" club if you had to play from the desert after an errant shot, Unbelieveable!
The course was in good shape, greens were fast, and the staff was super accommodating! Highly recommend this course to anyone coming to Vegas! Nice views on the front 9, marginal views on the back nine.

ISSUE WITH BIRDS ON TEE BOXES..LACK OF DISTANCE FINDERS ON COURSE, AND NOTHING ON CART TO HELP NEW PLAYERS TO COURSE. OVERALL, A GOOD EXPERIENCE WITH FREE MEAL, PRACTICE BALLS, NICE CARTS.

It was a beautiful sunny day. The "cart guy" that met us in the parking lot was the best! We had wet towels on our carts, free driving range balls,and the guy in the club house was all over it;calling me by name as I walked in. The group ahead of us was a little slow,but I was having a better than normal round on a course that I've never played before so I was having a great time. One of those that you wished would never end. And always a plus to have a super friendly "beverage cart girl". We'll be back!

The conditions of the tee boxes, the fairways, and right up to the greens were in very good. I'm not the straighest driver, so there were some tough times for me. The fairways, once in them, were nice to hit off of, without a lot of extreme challenges. The greens were in excellant shape and provided us with some trying times as well.

This has some of the best views in Las Vegas. The course plays well and the condition of the fairways and greens is good.

We teed off late due to course being frozen. If you play early make sure it is not frozen.
The Bar Personnel made the day... Bonnie made the entire day, with Breakfadt while we waited, drinks at the turn and Lunch afterwards!!

THE COURSE

Painted Desert is proof that a course does not need to be branded with a Miller or Nicklaus or Dye to be a great track,
Painted Desert is in a sub division of homes and placed with such skill and landscape it is one of the best places to play in Vegas.

FAIRWAYS AND TEES

Fairways are excellent condition. Tees have nice even grass but a bit uneven or bumpy in spots but over all very good. Tees are green emeralds in the dusty desert landscape. Sorry no brass between tee and fairway's :)

GREENS

Excellent

CLUBHOUSE

Good. Very Typical and have all you need

PRACTICE FACILITIES

Par for the course.!!

Just a great place to play!!

The course was in good condition, the different colours along the fairways are beautiful.
