Located in the city of Mesa, the Royal Palms golf course is a nine-holer with a risk-and-reward style layout. Royal Palms offers a mix of par 3s and par 4s that is suitable for all skill levels of golfer. Although it is a short course, there are challenges to keep golfers on their toes. Two lakes form water hazards that come into play on over half of the holes. Royal Palms G.C. also has strategically placed sand bunkers throughout the entire design that can affect shots.

Course is in excellent condition. The groundskeeper/golf pro does an excellent job and should be commended for his hard work.

Meh

It was our first time playing this course and we booked through GolfNow. We paid for 9 holes with cart, only to arrive and be told that they didn't have any carts available. We had to wait for over a half an hour for more carts to come in (people in front of us were waiting too). I don't think I'll return to this course.

Fair course. Has been under repair all season. Rates keep going up and course keeps getting busier. Good beginner course.

Course was under repair on several holes

The course was challenging and fun to play but every hole was under repair. I believe it has potential to be a great course in the future, but it wasn't on the day we played

Slow pace of play

This was our first time out this year and it was decent for what we needed. Nothing fancy. There are some really questionable layout issues like a huge tree blocking the fairway on one of the Par 3's.

Best 9-hole golf course in the area!

If you have never been to the Royal Palms 9-hole golf course in Mesa you must. From the start, it's nothing but professionalism and awesomeness. Quick and friendly check-in. Complimentary coffee! And the greens are a must-see. Beautiful layout and is wonderfully maintained! The greenskeeper is doing a great job! Keep up the great work guys.

Big improvement

Last time I played this course it was in terrible shape. Yesterday I played and I couldn’t believe the improvement on the condition of the course. Excellent work on getting the course to this level. Will definitely play here again.

Short course

Great course for beginners or those trying out new swings after lessons. Holes are short, even the par 4s are only around 250 yards, but fun and the layout is good and the course is in good condition.
