About
Palms Golf Course is a championship course that combines desert and traditional golf. Formerly called Peppermill, the course is Mesquite's oldest 18-hole course and offers one of the city's most unique rounds. The course is truly like playing two courses in one. The front nine has a classic design with fairly flat and open fairways that give way to tight, tree-lined driving areas. Save for one hole, water comes into play on every hole on the front nine starting with the second, which is the course's no. 1 handicap. Water can be found along the entire left side of the fairways and you'll also face a pair of bunkers guarding the right side and three more behind the green. The elevated tees on the back nine provide scenic views of the desert terrain covered with sagebrush and tumbleweeds, a dramatically different landscape that the previous nine.

The staff was very friendly and helpful, but everything else about this course irritated me. The main driveway is a road from a third-world country and hasn't seen maintenance in probably a decade. The pace of play took over 5-hours on a mid-morning Monday in March. Weeds and bare spots are everywhere while other nearby courses were lush and green - and I mean EVERYWHERE. It looked sad. I would have assumed the course had been abandoned if the parking lot wasn't full of cars. The front 9 is forgettable. The back 9 supposedly goes through a "canyon" but really is just a couple holes that go up then go down and then you play in a riverbed with bare spots and weeds - did I mention the bare spots and weeds? It's definitely not a canyon.
We played Conestoga the day before we played the Palms and may have been spoiled by actual grass and green golf-like conditions. In the Denver area this course would struggle to stay in business and wouldn't be able to charge more than $30 for a green's fee. It's a goat-track on life-support and definitely won't be on the to-play list the next time we're in Mesquite. It was a waste of my time and money and I was in a hurry to get out of there.

Front nine is a dog patch. Back nine is scenic and fun. I would play the back nine again anytime. Elevated tees, concrete paths, good condition.
This course is like playing two courses in a single round.
Front nine is rolling terrain with palm trees and water. Back nine is desert with great vistas and lots of elevation change. Just wonderful. Staff was very helpful and courteous. Third time we have golfed the course and also have taken all my children. We would all go back, no hesitation.
Got to play the Palms!
Been coming to Mesquite for 25 years to play golf. The Palms is a must play for our group. It's fair and challenging and always in good shape.
Palms golf
Course was in good shape . Carts paths need some repair pretty rough in a lot of areas
Other than that enjoyed the day
The Palms
Nice course. Front to back play and look totally different. Worth a visit for sure. Stafff are VERY friendly and accommodating. Bar was closed when we finished, but stopped by Peggy Sue's. Good drinks and Karaoke. Played with a couple who knew the layout. Fun, fun, fun
Good course
Nice course,very unfriendly staff they need to take a course in customer service,probably won't visit this course again,I have never been treated so rude by a staff before.
2 courses in 1
The road into the course is a little rough, but upon arriving the course was very enjoyable. 1st time golfing here and we were still on cart-path only but the front nine is quite open and a great warm-up for the back nine which is set through-out the hills. The back has some very nice views and some great challenges. Course is in great shape but the greens were quite slow but were consistent.
Course reseeding
Whole course had been reseeded, so cart path only for carts, greens were longer but otherwise a good day.
Tourist "unfriendly"
We have been playing casablanca/palms every time we have come to mesquite during past 15 years. After this season it will be our last until they change their new "unfriendly" customer focus.
1) last year had a discount card - no such thing 2016. Told new one in the works. .. if so why cancel existing one until new offer in place?
2) this year course closed (5pm) announcement was made ( with over 30 minutes of light remaining in the day. We were on way to 17 tee .. no such luck ... they had blocked the path. Understand fully the gamble one takes when playing twilight. .. but to shut down before sundown .... rather rude!!
3) no one in pro shop to give a comment to (wasn't even 510pm) or even an email contact on the website to send comment to.
I work at a course an feel relieved we don't take our guests forgranted or treat them like mesquite gaming has decided to do!!
We are here for 6 weeks and with all the other options available .... strongly advise folks there are better options than casablanca/palms. Neither Conestoga or Falcon Ridge gave us a "closed now leave" ultimatum and frankly these courses are way better value for the price!!!
Decent Play in Mesquite Area
Course was in decent shape with good green speeds.....anticipated worse but greens were really pretty nice. Although conditioning can be sketchy at this course it was in much better shape than when I last played it two years ago. A fun track to start out with on a desert golf trip. Palms is one of the older courses in the Mesquite area and has an interesting back nine which we played as first nine. Pace of play can be an issue at this course as well. Overall a shade above three stars.....course is worth about $50 for the area but they charge much more than that (if it was in Chicago it be well under $30). The water hazard on 17 (our 8th) was completely dry. Enjoyable desert golfing.

front nine was ham and egg while back nine was like playing another course. grass could have been better taken care of or mowed better. great views on back nine and challenging holes to place drives. almost no sand in the bunkers.
had a nice time
we had a very good experience! pace of play was slow. there was no marshall to speed up play!
Fun landscape
Several blind shots from tee or into greens. Did not always guess correctly and the course could be better marked. Some tee shots up hill and some down hill. The course was a lot of fun.
