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.

We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back!
Great value and fun track
Everyone complaining about the course has ever right to but come on! Its priced under 50 dollars high peak for 4 hour leisure time! For crying out loud.
That being said, its a challenging course with narrow fairways and small putting greens .
Joe Becket who is the G.M is fabulous and his staff.
Too bad the owner does not care because this could be a fabulous course once again.
Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback. We're glad you found value in our golf course.
The course was in terrible conditions weeds on the greens varmit holes everywhere
Brought a friend from out of town and was very embarrassed
Never playing there again
We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. We would love to know how we can earn those last two stars next time!
Mesquite Golf Course
This course has lots of potential
The club house offers sandwiches and coffee along with cold drinks.
Unfortunately they have suffered damages from the flood last winter, one of the bridges is out and they have adjusted the 16 th and 17th holes. If they can spend a little more time on maintenance this course has a lot of potential. Nice views and a nice layout overall. Good value for the money
Terrible condition
This was a good course but the last few times we played it has gotten progressively worse. The greens were so bad we gave up on them. Worse yet they had a flood and rerouted four holes on the back nine which is just unacceptable. It now has 4 par threes on the back nine. There is a reason the green fees were low.
Had great time nice easy course , would play it again
OK with discounted rate
Played using a Golf Now hot deal. Glad we did because the course was not in tip top shape. Almost all of the water hazards were dry. On a scale of 1 to 10, fairways and greens were a 5 and bunkers were a 9. Final 3 holes were altered due to physical issues which reduced par by 3 strokes... disappointed we were not advised at check-in. All in all this is a very playable course for beginners and high handicappers.
local and easy to play
Not all that busy. No marshalls and no beverage cart. Course has extensive storm damage from feb 2019 and there hasn't been much work to repair. As a result, there are temp holes and T-boxes. A bit hard to follow course. Greens in very poor shape. Starter was very nice.
This would have been a great old course. The 2019 flood caused some damage which affects the length of some holes and overall the course feels a bit tired. However, the price is right.
We see you rated the course 3-stars and are interested in learning what we can do to improve before your next round. We always appreciate the feedback. We hope to see you again soon.
Not Good!
The course suffered water/rain damage last year and have made no attempst to repair. Will not be back. No value for money!
Very Poor Experience
Too many ways to say this course was unfit to play. Greens were shaggy and awful; carts they gave us were dangerous; no beer cart and no beer inside--no bar; and the layout was altered from what I had played years ago such that it is par 69 and ridiculous two par-3 finish. I feel that I should be reimbursed for the money spent here. Sheeeessh... worst golf experience maybe ever.
another one
so sad that this layout suffers no upkeep or true true maintenance or upgrades.....the river wash couldve been maintained in a way where it did not suffer the damage it did.....so sad...nice local course slipping into darkness...
Really poor
The fairways and greens are almost unplayable. In addition we believe their irrigation system is not working in addition there are four holes that have been shortened or rerouted due to the flooding of 2019. Club house has no food or beverages.
Course was in rough shape. Greens in particular. Very slow, like putting on a shag carpet. Lots of burned/bare spots on the greens. There were at least 3 temp tee boxes and one temp green. No signage showing distances on temp holes. No signage warning of a temp green.
Skip it
The only thing that makes this course challenging are the greens. They are in such horrible shape that it's nearly impossible to 2 putt because you have to putt across scabs and open dirt spots. There was also a temporary green that was not disclosed by the pro shop. Very poor value.
Terrible conditions
Terrible conditions in every hole. Seemed to have a fungus issue in the greens. The worse greens we've experienced in Palm springs. Obviously had some flooding issues during the past 6 months or so but not stated in any booking. Several holes have substantial damage but no warning of this damage at booking time.. Defiantly not worth even the 'hot deal's rate. No warning available of the terrible conditions of the fairways , tee boxes and greens I would not recommend this course to someone at even at half the rate we paid. Iit is no more than a cow pasture ..
Thank you for the great rating! We're glad you had an enjoyable round of golf with us.
