Painted Desert Golf Club
About
One of the pioneers in Las Vegas golf, Painted Desert Golf Course is a 1987 Jay Morrish design has golfers shooting at targets in the desert.
Painted Desert has maintained its place in the Sin City golf community through all its changes by putting on an emphasis on course conditioning. Just because your greens are almost two decades old does not mean they cannot be in better shape than many of the new kids on the block.
The desert is the focus here, but Morrish also works in a few lakes as obstacles.
"This golf course is a very friendly layout and you can score here without having a feeling of imminent doom on every hole," John Scappatura said. "We are a bit off of the beaten path, which means that we almost always have availability for tee times. Everyone who does make the trip out here though appreciates our conditioning, the price, and the friendly atmosphere."

I actually birdied this short par 4 ... now my favorite hole! Photo submitted by Wally4 on 02/01/2013
Great value. Great employees
Great value deal. Challenging course. Fast greens little bit bumpy greens.driving range ok. Putting ok. No chipping area! Under 4 hrs. Employees very helpfully and friendly. Restaurant had the best chilli ever! Would recommend to play it once when youre in l.v.
Thanks for the stars! We try to provide our customers with the best service and experience, and we hope you’ll visit us again soon!
Great course long waits
I really enjoy playing this course. Great staff, friendly Marshal, and great layout. One huge con that will prevent me from going back is how over booked the course is. It’s popular but when you have 3 on a tee box, a group waiting mid fairway, and one on the green it gets rather annoying. My last 18 I did this summer took nearly 6 hrs to finish and this last outing I only completed 9 in just under 3 hrs. Granted there was a freeze delay that backed them up and they did offer rain checks for incomplete holes I declined until they get their stuff together. Def would not recommend a weekend as there are better courses better managed at the same or better prices.

Not worth the money
Typical desert course in the off-season. Fairways and greens had grass, but very short and ground was extremely hard(even with several days of rain in the past week). Balls that were hit into the rough almost always ran into the desert areas because there was no grass to stop them and fairways seem to slope to the waste areas. Nothing to get excited about, especially when even the “hot deal” price was $90… much nicer courses around and/or for less money. Pace of play was not good… we waited on every shot from the 3rd hole on, partially due to a difficult par three early in the round that bottles everyone up and then reachable par 4’s later in the round. Not one that I will return to next year. Driving range was packed to the point you couldn’t get a spot to warm up and unlike most $100+ rounds of golf(regular priced), does not include range balls.
Hi Nate,
Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for any inconvenience you experienced during your visit. We appreciate your input and will take your comments into consideration to improve our course and pace of play. We hope you'll give us another chance in the future.
Okay course. Packed.
Upon arrival we see there are 3 parking lot areas. We drove through all 3 and there was not a single place to park. The roads nearby were too busy to park along. We ended up waiting 15 mins for a parking spot. Then to the packed range… most courses provide free range balls, not here… then you are hitting off mats to a desert area-less than ideal. The course itself wasn’t bad, each hole had a clever name based on the trouble you would be facing which I found entertaining. The greens were fast but bumpy and inconsistent. The bunkers were hard and gravely(had rain twice this week), every hole seemed to be lined with gravel waste areas on both sides and houses on both sides of most holes. Fairways were grass(not painted) but hard as a rock and I am not a sweeper so I like to be able to take a divot. We played with a local couple(great people) and the course was so unfair to her because almost every hole had at least 100yds carry to get to the fairway and that was about as far as she could hit the ball so she started in the gravel most holes after hitting as good of a shot as she could(yes, she played the forward tees). The worst part of the whole round was the pace of play. We waited on almost Every shot, but on the first par 3 had 3 groups waiting on the tee. It was about 20-25 mins before we could go, and then you have a dozen people watching you. The group in front of us had a couple of non-golfers so they were very nervous and it showed. We never recovered to a smooth pace after that hole. Total round took about 5:15.
Hello Nate,
Thank you for taking the time to write this second follow-up review. We apologize for the parking issue and the lack of free range balls. We appreciate your positive comments about the course and the clever names of the holes. We will take your feedback about the greens, bunkers, fairways, and pace of play into consideration.
Played one hole and left. Two groups on second tee and looked like three on the third
Hello Bradley,
We are sorry that you are disappointed but appreciate your feedback. We are committed to providing you with a great experience and hope you give us another chance in the future.
Just OK
Fairly bland layout. Greens and fairways were nice, but tee boxes and cart paths need a lot of work. Range balls are in dire need of an upgrade. 3* course at best.

Horrible pace of play
They need a starter that has a clue what he is doing.

Slow
Only got through 13 holes with an 11:50 tee time. The course said they will refund my green fee but need to contact Golfnow so they can reach it to the course. We'll see how that goes.
