Our Story

A Championship Destination Shaped by the Desert

Painted Desert Golf Club was built on the idea that the surrounding Nevada desert, with all of its raw beauty and dramatic natural character, was not an obstacle to great golf but the very thing that could make it truly extraordinary. Since opening, the club has delivered on that idea with a championship course that has hosted the prestigious Nevada Open and earned a loyal following of local community members and visiting golfers who return season after season for the challenge, the scenery, and the service. Today, Painted Desert continues to stand by that same commitment to superlative golf, remarkable amenities, and genuine hospitality — available seven days a week, for every golfer who walks through the door.

Jay Morrish and the Desert — A Design That Changed Las Vegas Golf

The course at Painted Desert Golf Club represents one of the most thoughtful and site-sensitive designs in the history of Las Vegas golf. Jay Morrish — whose work includes some of the most celebrated layouts in the American Southwest and beyond — approached the Nevada terrain not as something to be tamed, but as a co-designer. The result is a championship layout that moves with the natural contours of the desert, using elevation changes, native flora, rocky outcroppings, and sweeping desert vistas as strategic and aesthetic elements rather than challenges to be eliminated. The course's selection as the host of the Nevada Open confirmed what local golfers had already known: this is a course worthy of serious competition, serious admiration, and a place among the finest daily-fee courses in Las Vegas.

The Golfing Experience

Playing Painted Desert is unlike any other round in Las Vegas — a course where the desert itself becomes part of your strategy, stunning views greet you at every tee box, and the natural serenity around you reminds you why you fell in love with the game. This is championship golf in one of the most spectacular natural settings Nevada has to offer, available to everyone.

A Family Environment

Painted Desert Golf Club is a place where golfers of every age and ability feel at home — from first-timers discovering the game to families playing a round together on one of the most naturally beautiful courses in Nevada. The club's welcoming atmosphere, accessible tee options, and friendly staff make every visit feel comfortable, enjoyable, and worth repeating.

Tournaments and Events

As a former Nevada Open host site, Painted Desert Golf Club carries a natural credibility and prestige that makes every tournament feel like a significant occasion.
