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.

Back again

I play this course frequently and it never fails to be challenging and, so far, in good condition. The only complaint I have is that they do not put water in the course for the early morning crowd. I like to get off early to beat the heat but there is no water and the beverage cart doesn't come around until the 10th hole. I have started bringing my own...and that works well. Summer rates make this a great value. Try It!!

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.

Moving in the right direction

I can tell that the new management is going to take this course in the right direction. Staff very friendly and course is in better condition than some time ago. Not a bad outing . I recommend you give it a try.

Great course for money

Really good course for under a hundred bucks pp. Pace of play was good . Course was in good shape. The tee boxes could have been in better shape but that’s my only negative.

Course was in pretty good condition.

The course layout is a nice challenge for different levels of players. Overall, the course was in good condition other than the tee boxes which were very uneven and had many areas with no grass.
