Painted Hills is a public golf course. It is pretty easy to find availability. The people on the course and in the clubhouse are all friendly and neighborly. The skill level of most players on the course was below my level, and that is not good. There isn’t much space between the hole you are on and the hole next to you running the other way. There were times when we were definitely in danger of getting hit with stray balls. There were many more times than usual when we had to wait for duffers to search for lost balls. Perhaps one third of the greens were notably small. Most of the greens were surprisingly rough. It was nearly impossible for anyone to sink a ten foot putt here. This is a good course for people to learn how to play golf. It is not so good for people who are no longer beginners.

While the pace of play was very slow on a Saturday morning, I am looking forward to playing there again during the week. We enjoyed the course and found the greens and fairways in reasonably good condition. A good value for the cost.

I understand golf is popular these days and therefore prices are a little higher. Supply and demand. Having said that, I played around noon on a Saturday and it cost just over $60. I wish I had taken photos of the course, especially the holes where the fairways were actually unplayable. I wouldn't play this course again unless it was less than $40. Another local course ruined by Great Life. Update: i played this course about 6 weeks after my initial review and had a better experience. I played for about $45 and the course was in better shape. I'm now giving 3 stars instead of 1.

My first time coming here I booked a 7am T. And no one showed up to work for the course until about 820 had people waiting for hours. They issued rain checks to make up for it cool. I then book a T time for the following week. This time they removed me from the schedule on the computer and added someone else to my T time and then said you can wait 2 hours to play. I said I can’t make that time and was not even issued a new rain checks. So would I recommend this place to anyone. Never. Nope. Worst experience and no customer care.

This course is a joke, if it's not someone walking directly across the green when I'm about to swing, it's some one from another hole hitting over the flag when I'm trying to putt. And the holes are not spread out so their is balls flying by you from other holes. It's more of a warzone between dodging balls and trying to avoid hitting someone with a goofball. This course is a mediocre rating for a reason. Also I was twilight and some how still 40 dollars. Go play some where else. This course is a joke
