Editor's Note: Course closed for businss in 2022.

This is the kind of place the locals actually play. The kind of place that offers regular Sunday champagne brunches and New Year's Eve parties in the clubhouse. Mesquite's low green fees bring them in (under $100 even in Palm Springs' ultra expensive peak season). Its mountain backgrounds and golf along the bottom of a streambed are what bring them back.

Mesquite Golf and Country Club in Palm Springs isn't a long course by any stretch of today's standards. It comes in at 6,312 yards from the back tees. Locals find that fits just right. Again, it's Palm Springs. Many of the locals are cashing retirement checks between drives. A little shorter does not necessarily mean uninteresting though.

There are eight small lakes out on Mesquite and when the water's running in the stream it plays with some kick. At the same time, it's very friendly to women, seniors, anyone who finds distance to be a challenge. The 366-yard par-4 ninth is illustrative of a course that regularly lets average hackers go for the green.

Okay, nothing special

The staff was overall pretty pleasant. The course was not in that great of condition. Sand traps were hard dirt. Greens were in OK condition. The fairways were the best part. Everything outside the fairway/tee boxes/greens was just let go. Weeds and dirt. It ranks around the bottom of the area golf courses in my opinion. However, it is fairy cheap which matches.

Great value for the money during spring break!

Not an amazing course, but certainly a fun day and a decent challenge for the price!

Good for the price.

Course was in better condition than I expected for $49 on GolfNow. Better than most Munis. Friendly staff. Based on other courses in the area easily worth $60 or so.

Wasnt disappointed

Course was very close to downtown Palm Springs. I am not a fan of houses on courses as it gets in my head and this worked well for me. Staff were great and friendly. Driving range was good as was practice greens. Im glad i found this course, will play again when back. Its priced below other tracks but was worth it. The pace was actually good, until i encountered 3 some that should try bowling. Good experience overall

A bit of everything

I enjoyed the course. I liked the layout as the course offered variety of shots. I also thought the staff was very friendly and helpful. But I hope the course talks to the guys placing the pins on the greens. Placing them on a crest of a hill might look fun, but that's just childish. Not to mention what that does to the pace of play.

Great value

I'm not one of the guys can afford to regularly play the expensive courses. I was very pleased with the design and play ability and for 50 bucks had a great time.
