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.

worst course I've played in years

very poorly maintained course. From the un-mowed overgrown tee boxes to poorly maintained greens the course is in horrible condition. The rough was a foot high on some holes. I was told on tee off by the starter that sand traps are not in good shape and to play a free drop out of traps. Avoid this course until you can verify it has been over hauled

Don’t play here

This course is in terrible condition and repairs to the course after the flood were never completed. One bridge is out and course layout has been modified. The club house is not opened so you can only get beverage from cooler at check-in. This owner knows nothing about managing or maintaining a golf course, he should sell it to someone who wants to bring it back to what it once was. Very sad to see how this course continues to decline.

Course under renovation

I have played this course many times in the past and was excited to see that it was open again. This was going to be my girlfriend’s first time on a par 72 course. Much to our surprise, only the back 9 was open, which it did not say on the Golfnow app, and there was temp tee boxes on 4 of the 9 holes. The course was i.B very poor condition and i hope that they restore this course to how it used to be.

The price makes it playable on a regular basis!

Especially if you’re on a bit of a budget. In need of repairs do too flooding, but ide play it again.

Mesquite at Palm Springs

This course is in major need of repair.

It appears the owners have decided to not bring this course back since being flooded a few years ago.

Yes, the price matches the course condition. The no name rentals were in rough shape also. At least the one I was given.

just okay

I understand the inflated prices due to it being the "busy season" but this should be a $25-30 course, especially because the grounds have not been repaired after last years winter storms. The last 2 holes were cut way down to 112 yard holes, kind of a disappointing end.

Needs work

Maintenance and upkeep at Mesquite is fair at best. It's apparent ownership is struggling. The back nine was hit by a major storm last year and 1 or 2 bridges were taken out. So holes 17 and 18 tee boxes have been 'temporarily(?)' moved and holes shortened. It's a temporary fix at best but it's been a year since storm damage was done?

Good value

For what it costs to golf in this area this course is a great place to play. There are a few rough spots and the greens may not be as nice as some other courses but the fees are reasonable for prime time and we enjoyed the heck out of it. We will play there again before we go back to the cold and rain.

Just not good

The bag attendents were great, manger alright, but course itself was just horrible, the lakes were ugly and not maintained, had children running on the 13 fairway, lots of the tee boxs moved, green super slow and messed up bad one was littarly sand it was stupid, the only good thing there was the speed of the golf carts, oh and the wood plank bridges they have feel like they are about to break.
