Painted Desert Golf Club

Description:

• This desert-style course is a Jay Morrish design. Immaculate playing conditions and beautiful desert landscaping make Painted Desert Golf Club the first of its kind in Las Vegas. Set within a natural habitat, this club features numerous mounds, challenging greens and some of the most picturesque scenery in the area. This par 72 course stretches 6,840 yards from the championship tees. The somewhat narrow fairways are defined by the mounds on the sides. Many fairway grass bunkers and greenside sand bunkers have been incorporated into this course's design. In addition, a few trees can alter your shots if you hit an extremely errant shot, but none of them really come into play with the exception of hole #14, a short 313-yard, par 4. The greens are difficult to read because they are loaded with subtle breaks and undulations. Water hazards come into play on only a few holes.
