Painted Desert Golf Club

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.

played Nov 30, very windy , cool but not cold. No gps in carts, no free range balls to warm up. no markers for 100 yds. Friendly staff. No great views on course. some greens had dead spots. followed a 4 some, waited on every shot but still got done in 4 hrs. started 11am, got done before dusk. Golf now hot deal $50 ok deal, have played here for $25, smoking deal. not too far from strip

My wife and i enjoyed this course. Friendly crew with excellent views of the mountains. Greens and fairways were in very good condition. We enjoyed our golf outing and will play it again when we return to Las Vegas.

Booked Painted Desert the day before on Golfnow and paid only $40 which has to be one of the best values in Vegas. Entire course was in top condition with very fast greens. Course is a typical desert layout with an emphasis on accuracy. Staff was super and they even got us out 20 minutes early. Course was not overly packed and we finished up in just over 4 hours. Will definately play this course the next time we are in Vegas.

Great course needs a book or some kind of layout summary I got into trouble because of unfamiliarity with the course would definitely play course again

The course was in good condition and all staff were friendly/helpful. Even though the greens had just been top dressed, the speed was still very good. We found the pace of play to be very slow (just under 5 hours). There was a Player's Assistant, who seemed more concerned with filling divots than he was with keeping the pace moving. Overall, an enjoyable day and we'd play there again.

The course had great scenery, had more potential if course was maintained a little better. The grass throughout the course was not healthy a lot of muddled areas. Every time I hit my approach shot I dug a lot of mud and grass. I shot 70 and it was my first time picking up a club in 2 months so it was easy. All in all good value I would def play again if course was in better condition.

Great condition. Beautiful views of mountains on most holes. Will play again next time in Vegas.

Greens were very receptive. All three of us had iron shots that either stuck or backed up. Fairways were in beautiful shape. I have played the course many times over a 9 year period, mostly during the peak season, and this was the best playing conditions that I have had at Painted Desert.
would recommend the track to my occasional playing partners.
