Painted Desert Golf Club

Run down golf course. If you enjoy playing 18 holes in 5 ½ — 6 hours on the weekend then this place is for you. Go to Paiute. 3 primo golf courses and and will cost the same or less

Roy hooked it up and gave a full round and carts for $ 25 for early morning. The course was good, but the only thing I noticed was the green looked like there would be a break when you putt but it went straight ⁹⁄₁₀ times. Also it has some narrow fairways so make sure you’re on point unless you want to hit your ball of rocks and sand. I will definitely try to play there again.

Typical par 3 course. Nothing special. Range is small and beat up. Poor maintainence. I was told a bucket was only 4 dollars but the cashiers partner corrected him to be 5 dollars. If this is any indication of how much they are desperate for money then it will tell you how the course is. I would come here when I’m plastered drunk with friends that are even more drunk and I think it would still be boring. Not sure that I’ll bee back. This place needs work.

Absolutely disappointed with Painted last weekend, or more accurately, the cart attendants. Ended my round but left my sunglasses in the cart. Walked my bag to my vehicle in the parking lot and quickly remembered I left them. Loaded up and parked in the bag drop area. Spoke with the attendants and then promptly checked multiple carts… and of course not to be found. Hey guys, I’m not stupid. I am positive you found them. Great effort sounding concerned and then offering me some cheap ass pair of dirty glasses out a tool bag on your service cart.
I’ve been playing there for roughly 5+ years and thought your staff had more integrity. Guess not. I’ll play closer to home from here on out and thank you for this resounding memory. I’ll take my business elsewhere and make certain my fellows players hear my story.

This course is a real gem, and not well-​known. Course is in great condition, and the greens are fantastic (yes, they are a bit fast). The course plays pretty tight, so you need to drive the ball fairly straight to stay out of traps, or out of the desert areas. Mid-​week traffic is not bad, but prime-​time rounds can go 4.5 hours. This course needs a marshal to keep everyone moving. All staff members have been very nice and accommodating each time I have played here (maybe 10 rounds). It is one of my favorite courses in Las Vegas.

Nice price for a pretty nice, shorter, course. Great twilight rate. The major problem with all but one time I played here, probably 8 – 10 now, is there’s no pace of play maintained. Groups waaaaay to slow, way beyond what’s acceptable for anyone who remotely knows golf etiquette. Marshals would be great, too bad really cuz I won’t return, don’t have 5 – 6 hrs to play as a single.

Dissapointed here this time out. Five hour round stuck with and behind lessons. Its really not ok to hit three off the tee every hole. Conditions were fair, greens good but fairways showing some bare spots. Need to have marshalls to keep pace of play.

Pretty darn good chicken sandwich, french fries were above average. Chicken wrap for take out was so-​so, but I’ll definitely be back since its so darn convenient

I played Painted Dessert many years ago and it was ok than and I guess it’s ok now.
The fairways are ok and the greens are pretty fast. The golf course layout was ok. Overall, course is wide open. You can pretty much put a blindfold on me I’ll swing my club and I’ll likely hit the fairway! Haha
I only lost one ball. I hit an approach shot and it spun off the green and into the water. All I have to say is it’s nice to be playing golf in the sun and warm in late November!
My chief complaint was the courses slow play! We go stuck behind a 4some of pretentious ‘member’! They all have their own golf cart but boy they ever slow! Boys if you play that slowly I suggest you take up lawn bowling! And why is there no course marshal driving around? We paid our $ 60 don’t we (Joe Public) have any rights?

Love this place. Great garlic fries and they are super fresh. Pulled pork is awesome and the rueben is very tasty. Some of the liquor prices are a little high but great atmosphere.

This review is for the country club only. I decided to check this place out because we kept getting the flyers in the mail. I figured what the heck, let me go check it out since it was so close to home. I’m glad I did. We came on Sunday morning and the place was almost empty. We sat at a table near the gold course and let me tell you it was absolutely beautiful
Everything on the menu was cheap. Food came out fast the service was spectacular. I will be back to try the other items.

I used a living social voucher in which previous management said they would honor but new management did not. They shut down the course previously in September while they were fixing the greens. I had a verbal OK from Mike that is was not going to be an issue but new manager seemed to be hesitant and did not make me whole.
He only gave me the value that I previously paid for and still charged me the difference for a twilight time. Also made me wait 2 hours as a single player. I was polite but wanted to see if he ever try to make it right. Course was fine and the other workers were great. The manager could have went the extra mile to make me happy but ended up making my weekend sour. Wont come back. OB sports management should honor all previous coupons instead of trying to make golfers hurdle. Its a game of honor and class not feeling like I just walked out of wal-​mart.

Just recently moved to Las Vegas. Painted Desert is now my home course. While its shorter than many golf courses, tight fairways, difficult bunkers and lightning fast greens make it challenging nonetheless. Painted Desert is a classic «target golf» type course.
Course management is at a premium. If you just like to rare back and whale away for distance, you’ll find yourself in trouble more often than not. Many times a considerably shorter drive will place you in a better position to make the green in regulation.
Oh, those greens. Fast, fast, FAST. On top of that they undulate in unexpected ways. On some holes (notably the 7^th) an unforgiving pin placement and a «too long» putt will find your ball in the water hazard. (P.S. Try not to hit the «coot herd» on the 7^th in the winter)
Overall, playing Painted Desert is an enjoyable outing from check in to the 19^th hole, the staff is friendly, accommodating, professional and dedicated to giving you MUCH more bang for your golfing buck.

Normally we don’t play on weekends during our visits to Vegas because its just too crowded, but this past week the courses were pretty empty, even this one. It was much colder than we are used to in February (50 degrees) but being from Chicago we are okay with the cold. It was super windy but we stuck it out. We went out at our 8:08 start time, although there was no starter or announcement and the other 2 that we were suppose to join us were late, so we started ourselves on time. We paid twice what we normally would have so that was a real bummer but golfing in the winter for Midwesterners is worth the inflated price. This time we completed the 18 holes and played great (couple birdies and a few pars) We’ll be back since its so close to the house.

First time playing here and for a handicap of 20, did pretty well. (+31)
Greens are super fast, fairways are pretty wide when it comes to driving off the tee box, and if you cant hit your ball straight, most likely you will be saying hello to one of their many sand-​traps.
Had the free lunch special that came with the 18 holes ($ 39) afterwards. Waiting time for all three orders was 20 minutes but then found out one of them was not put in yet because the chef lost the ticket. Who does that? Anyways the extra starving that I had accumulated was worth the wait since i had the Grilled Chicken Sandwich w/​Onion Rings. (check pictures)
Say hi to Maria from the bar for she seems to be quite the entertainer at times;)

Played there in June 2012 and the fairways are getting a little ratty, with some bald spots and some places with patches of weeds. I was hoping OB Sports, the new owner, was going to improve the shape of this course. So far, I’m not seeing it. The greens though are in good shape.
I also dislike the conditions of the arroyos, which seems to lack any landscaping thought behind them and many patches look like your everyday vacant lot in Clark County. I hope OB Sports will put some effort to improving the visual appeal of these areas.
On the positive side, this clubhouse serves some of the best hot dogs in town. Comes with all of the condiments and fixings. I highly recommend it.
Also, the staff at this course consistently treats golfers with outstanding service and courtesy. I think it’s the best in town. It’s one reason why I continue to play here, despite some of its shortcomings on the course.

We bought a house in the Painted Desert subdivision in November. I have played the course about 8 times now. I played with some locals a couple of times, and they told me that they play a lot of vegas courses and painted desert has the best greens in town. I have played a lot of other vegas courses also and I don’t think I could argue with them. The course and the greens have been in very good condition every time I have played. Staff has always been friendly. For the money its a great value. So far so good.

Terrible!!! The placed charged us full price knowing there was NO grass in fairways. I mentioned it to pro shop afterwards and got ZERO satisfaction. They got over on my once, NEVER AGAIN!!!

So after weeks at the driving range I finally decide to play the Painted Desert golf course. I pull up to the first hole in the golf cart and I was blown away. This course is very nice and the greens are in great condition. Every hole seemed to be perfect and I managed to play 18 holes without hitting a house. One of my favorite holes on the course was hole 16 I believe that to be a Par 3 where you must avoid the water. Let’s just say I lost a ball or two on that hole. I would definitely play this course again very fair priced courses and friendly staff.

Another Golf Course tucked away in a neighborhood… this one is located in the Northwest off of Ann Rd & US 95 North. I enjoy coming here during the Summer months and can usually get on the course easily mid-​week. On the weekends it tends to get crowded because their green fees are lower than most courses in town. Here’s my breakdown of the course:
PROS
— Nice practice facility. Mats & Grass options, which are nice.
— It’s a nice course for a mid to high level handicap player (15+)…because it’s a short course (see CONS).
— There are a few challenging holes, (#14, 292 yds, par 4) has water on the right side of the fairway and is a slight dogleg right… if you hit the ball long enough, you could cut the water and come close to driving the hole.
CONS
— Short course. 6,781 yds from the tips, 6,269 from the black tees, ladies tees are at 5,647.
— No lights on the practice facility and the range is pretty small… can get crowded when it’s busy.
— The greens are slow. They’re not too challenging.
I’ve been coming to this golf course for over 17 yrs, since I moved here in ’93…it’s like an old friend. It’s a great course to sharpen up your wedge play and 3 wood (off the tee instead of driver). Or if you’re a beginner, it’s pretty forgiving.
Will I return? I’m sure I will.
