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.

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.

Fairways were patchy and wet in some areas. Greens were for the most part in good condition, please fix your ball marks.

Not worth the $$$

Played it ✔️, for the same price there are at least 20 courses better. Greens in great shape, fairways are narrow but made narrower by lots of dirt, sand and rocks where I would expect grass. Pace of play was slow today (5:15) but heard from others that is not “normal”.

Divots, dirt, and scruffy tee boxes

The club house and restaurant are ok, but the golf course is struggling. There is no driving range. You can chip and putt, but there is no place to warm up hitting full swing. The tee boxes are full of divots, scruffy grass, and dirt. And please know this is reflected in the price. We played on Saturday, Feb 3 for $100 per person, the week before The Waste Management Open, a bargain for this time of year. The course is short, and at times challenging, especially the first hole. The pace of play was good. We started at 7:30am and completed our round in 4 hours. If they could fix the tee boxes and add a driving range, they could charge $100 more per round.

There used to be a range there and an executive 9 but they filled it in with homes or apartments or whatever they built there now. All about the mighty dollar to the course's detriment.

Not in good condition

Painted mountain is what I consider my home course. I've played the course over three hundred times. Paid $81 to play today which was the most I've ever paid here. Course was in such poor condition. Fairways were bare. Green in terrible shape and grounds keeper put in every hole poorly .I've seen this course in much better condition and shape. And for the price that's being charged it needs to get back to that condition.

Painted Mountain

Not a 100 dollar course. Fairways were spotty. The greens were good. Short course, relatively easy. Friendly people working there. A 5 hour round with poor course conditions simply isn’t worth that green fee. I suppose supply and demand dictates the price.

Odd layout very close to residences. Not very challanging greens

Odd course layout. Sandwiched between residences. Short. Greens were good. Probably several other courses in the area to play before considering Painted Mountain
