I played the North and East Course on a Monday morning. It was really reasonable, 35 to ride and 25 to rent new Taylor Made Clubs. It's a beautiful course with the Franklin Mountains in the background (rated by Golf Digest) and only about 15 minutes from downtown El Paso. The carts have a GPS on them and show you... more

Painted Dunes used to be a premier course, but now I can't really recommend it. If you visit El Paso, play the new course in town, Butterfield Trail, instead. It's a Tom Fazio premier course.

I DID NOT like this golf course at all. I was expecting much more from this course given the cost to play. Staff members are very rude!!

My son and I signed up for the Fathers day tournament and had a great time and a fine meal afterwards in the club house. This event was well organized and the course was in great shape. Everyone was friendly. I look forward to next years event. Thank you to all that made this a day to remember. more

It is a very good course. Challenging, and some holes are very tricky. Go for distance, and you may be rewarded. Mostly, the greens are very good. more

Course was OK, not what I thought. Everything was brown, greens had a lot of repair spots. Lay out was great. Personell very rude, were on you like flies on a pile of do-do. Not a place to go and have a good relaxing round of golf. Played Senoma course 40 miles North, in Los Cruses, and loved it. more
