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.

No Rangers on the course

I would have given a 5 star rating except for one glaring problem. My wife and I were playing as a twosome and we had a 4 some ahead of us. We could see that there was no one playing ahead of them. They never did let us play through for the entire round, and we never saw a ranger that could have helped us with the pace of play.

Enjoyable golf course

We are snowbirds and have played this course several times this season, and do play it a couple times a year for the past 3 years.
Course has lots of challenges and overall a enjoyable course to play.
Looking forward to playing again next fall.

Fun course

Expensive, Range Balls not included, very tough layout. I struggled immensely and I am a decent golfer. Greens were fast and then slow, enjoyed the round but didn’t

Very slow

5 1/2 hours for 18 holes. Sometimes 3 groups of golfers on a tee waiting too tee off. Some tee boxes almost completely dirt. Saw ranger 1 time, he was friendly but did nothing to speed up play. Luckily we had nothing else to do. Not sure I will come back unless there is no other option. Expensive for the level of course with poor maintenance

Loved thev18th Hole

I’m only here in the winter. This is always the first course I play. It is affordable and I really like that and the proshop has a lot of clothes for sale other than just golf clothes.

Where's the grass??

I have never played a course where the tee boxes were "Bare". Many had
sparse grass and several, had no grass. FYI, Phoenix has had the wettest winter in 5 years. Also, the greens were "unputtable". All of the greens contained several types of grass and were not evenly cut. Fairways had large bare patches. Again, Phoenix has had enough rain so that even minimal course maintenence would have left the course in good shape.
