Rating 69.5

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.

First Time Playing

Mesquite in March

This was our first time playing this year. So we were happy that we were not rushed. The woman who checked us in was very pleasant and helpful. Because they had some open space in the schedule she let us tee off early. The course was a bit dry ,but the greens were in very good condition. We finished in under 4 hours and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

In rough shape

I had not played Mesquite before, but a friend suggested it. The course is minimally maintained. Mowed, but not much else. Traps are in waste bunker condition. Greens are fair but slow. Minimal clubhouse, no liquor liscence.

I won’t be going back.

Hidden gem

This place is a good track to work on your game at a decent price. No pressure to pay what you would at other courses around the area. Had a talk with the head grounds keeper. More improvements on the way. Check it out!!!

Return golfer but not again

In VERY rough shape . After it was hit hard by a washout or two and A pandemic ,nothing has been fixed ….with exception of the price. Doubled …..Very poor marketing and will never return
I think the worst part was a lack of concern ,to their customers with no water stations anywhere ……and asking on the turn gets you NOTHING.
