The Painted Mountain Golf Club is a challenging desert-style course with a variety of different tees to accommodate every age group and skill level. The course offers a lengthier challenge from the first hole, a par-5 dogleg right, to the last, which requires an approach shot over water in order to reach the green. The Painted Mountain Golf Club, in addition to the course, is also home to the John Jacob's Golf School.

Worst pace of play I’ve ever had. What?!!

I’ve played here before and had a good time but I played yesterday and it was horrible. Over an hour behind scheduled pace of 3.5-4 hours. It took us 5.25 hrs to finish. Started at 1pm and was dusk hole 18!!
I asked the Marshall what was going on at the turn and he blamed “some girls” 2 groups ahead of us but did nothing about it and didn’t even realize how far behind schedule we were. Management needs to figure out how to keep pace of play going on bc that was terrible experience waiting 3-6mins every single hole.

Rough course

Paid $70 to tee off at 2:30
Course was extremely slow, and the conditions were brutal.
Almost $100 to not finish and the course was in such bad shape. Don’t usually write reviews but this course is way overpriced.

Course needs work

Tee times were running behind almost an entire hour. Beautiful scenery, but course itself not so much. Lots of sparse brown grass and dirt. I'm used to looking down a fairway and seeing lush green, but my focus seemed to be caught by natural areas. This course needs work. First and last time playing.

Fairly easy course but over priced

Course in decent shape. Fairways under seeded but green in decent shape. Play was delayed due to frost but played 18 in less than 3.5 hours.

No driving range/No opportunity to warm up/

Read /Areas close to left, right, and back of greens are barren, like playing a shot off of cement.

Tough day

The course staff did a heck of a job, given the delay for frost. Course marshals were good except for one, I don’t know what his problem was.
