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.

Course getting into good shape

First time playing here this year. Course getting better, greens ran fast and true, fairways in good shape, but some holes still have damage from storm a couple of years ago. Staff was friendly and helpful. Will definitely go back.

Beat experience ever

From the checkin in process to the courtesy of taking my cart back after the round! The staff went above and beyond any course I’ve ever been to! Great place to golf, special recognition to Joe for taking time out of his day to make sure we felt welcomed and had a great time! Will be back again without a doubt!

Beautiful-Friendly Staff-Needs a lil TLC

Arrived early and the staff let me start early. Incredible views of the mountains. 2nd half of the course is a little rough. A bridge was out so you had to take a funky detour that was hard to navigate. It seems like they have plans to address this. The fairways are well maintained and lost of the greens were in ok shape.

I’d play here again but I wouldn’t bring clients or anyone I wanted to impress.

Great day on the links!

Great course, value for price. Holes 10 and 17 tee boxes damaged a few years ago by flood. Still are playing temporary tees. Other than that it’s fun, good condition, and fast pace of play. Tee’d off at 7:45 finished 10:45 on a Sunday.

FRIENDLY

love this course because it's fairly easy, not crowded, mostly because some of the damage of the 2.14.19 storm still hasn't been repaired.

still recovering

this course is fun, because it's not busy --- there are more greenskeepers than other golfers. and they don't mind if a drop another ball to practice a shot. They still have damage from the storms in February 2 years ago, and the greens are not in good shape. But for the price! wonderful!
