Westgate Painted Mountain Golf Resort

Deep rough bad greens no grass on fairways terrible course condition overall won’t go back

The greens were in great condition, but the fairways were poor and the rough was mostly rock. Not as in nicely landscaped desert, just sparse bits of grass fading to dirt. Not very inspiring or even memorable. And the slow pace of play didn’t add to our enjoyment.

The course was in pretty good shape and we did not have any problems once we got by hole 2 with being backed up! Some people just have no bias for leaving negative comments. By the way this was a special day as I aced hole 10 for my 1st ace. Been playing 23 years and wow ! That felt amazing. Give this place a shot and also they opening a new Pizza place this week.

Pace as in other reviews is an issue. Tee times are 7 minute apart. Many recreational golfers so tough to keep pace steady. Less tee times would also put less stress on the tee boxes which some were in rough shape. Great value though.

Course was bare in a lot of spots. Painfully slow. 5.5 hours

Course was in general decent condition. There was some inconsistency and the receded grass. The, gravel in the rough was irritating. Sometimes 10 yards from the fairway you would be in gravel. There were also areas that were completely dead where you would expect grass to be..

We were surprised to see a group of 8 playing in front of us. The ranger told us there were groups of 6 and 7 in front of them. Needless to say we were waiting a lot. Who made the decision to allow these large groups? I hope it doesn't happen again as I like playing this course.

Had a great afternoon. The course was in nice shape

Here's how to make sure your guests have a sub par experience (no pun intended);

Send groups out every seven minutes.

Provide no water for players along the way.

Allow groups to play in five and six ball groups.

Allow golfers under 10 years old to be in those groups and drive golf carts!

Don't put yardage markers of any kind on the course.

Require cart-path only with no active over seed in place.

Sorry guys, but this is not how you run an operation if you want to have happy customers.

Painted mountain is one of the worst courses I’ve ever played. Awful pace of play. Slowest round and slowest greens of my life. Please look elsewhere.
