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."

First Time Playing

Considering the extreme heat the course held up well.

The tee boxes and greens were in great shape. Several fairways had dead grass bare spots but considering the heat wave we were pleasantly surprised. We will play here again next time we are in the area.

Course is burnt. Fairways are hard pan/ mud. Greens were similar to putting on carpet - slow and bumpy.

I’ll try it again 6-12 months.

Hot weather

Used cart

Needs a little TLC

I love Painted Desert. It's always been a great course, and due to the 107 heat, I had the course to myself this day!

One minor critique: a few of the big trees along the gold cart path were overgrown and they were the kind of trees with big needles. So it was a little dangerous getting my cart through without getting poked with the needles. Also, some of the green hazards were more overgrown than intended, which should also be better maintained.

Nice course but slow

I took my wife here for her birthday. The course is definitely a 4.0-4.5 star course but our 5:20 round was nearly unbearable. We played with two locals who said it was very uncommon.

Unhappy Customer of Golf Pass

Gold Pass asks for my review for a round that was cancelled!! we were watching the weather all week. I checked the weather at 2am the night before play, and it looked ok. However, when we got up at 6am the weather was horrible, so we cancelled at the very last possible time due to weather conditions. Golf Pass refund policy is 24 hours out; no consideration for weather. They are not refunding our $$ for 3 tee times. Will not use Golf Pass again, nor will I recommend them. .
