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.

Great potential; needs work
This course is conveniently located in Palm Springs and has reasonable green fees. People are friendly and welcoming. Fairways are in good condition after extensive work this fall; back 9 greens are good; front 9 still need work with several having large sections of sand making putting a bit frustrating. Despite this, I would still come back as the scenery is lovely and pace of play is very good. Flood damage in Feb 2019 has meant the 16-18th holes have had to be reconfigured making the course par 68/69. Hopefully it will return to its original layout in the future.
TLC
the course needs a lot of TL&C and I would recommend the course to others.
Great scenery
We're glad you'd recommend the golf course to others. We hope you'll give us another shot soon.
Day of golf
This course is going under some vast improvements and is still in a state of repair. The Director of golf, Charles, advised me before I started that there was considerable work going on . He warned the green were spotty and was completely honest.
We appreciate your feedback and come see us soon.
Beautiful setting!
Value was excellent with great view of surrounding mountains. Recently had some flood damage so 17 and 18 are on temporary tee offs. Grass recently reseeded . Otherwise great little course!
Thank you for positive feed back. Come back and see us again
Horrible
This was the worst condition course I have ever played. I have played it each year for the last 6 years and it gets worse every year. I wish I would have read the other bad reviews before I pay money this year.
We are doing our best to recover from our flood.
See you next year!!
Mesquite needs a caring owner
Employees friendly and course has great location and potential but needs repair and water
Hi ka4763063. We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the teams in charge so they can work to make changes. Thanks for visiting us. We hope to see you again in the future.
SCAM masquerading as a Golf Course
The fairways barely have grass. The greens are something akin to a shag carpet. The layout of the course is laughable. Truly, the worst excuse for a golf course I've ever encountered.
I'm surprised that GolfNow continues their relationship with this course.
Thank you for playing with us,
Hopefully in the near future you will have a 5 star experience.
See you soon!
What a Joke!
A poorly maintained course suffering further from the Valentine’s Day rain event. Golf Now rate of $25.- not bad but when I wanted to show up early 45 mins the pro shop gal said it would have to be another $15.- for twilight rather than super twilight. Had it not for the mountains and actually knowing I was in Palm Springs, I would have thought I was playing some worn-out, hick-town track in rural who-knows-where? Nice enough layout and challenging greens so with a good bit more maintainance and repairs, it would be quite playable but don’t get caught paying more than $25. Ever.
We appreciate your feed back for it allows other golfers to know that they are not allowed to tee off 45 minutes ahead of time due to our rate change.
We will continue to make improvements from the rain damage.
Thank you and have a great day!
RECOVERING
Nice course sustained flood damage recently, so recovering
Thank you for your feedback,
We will continue to work past the flood damage and recover.
Hope to see you again .
Mesqute GC is Storm Damaged
First off, I like Mesquite GC and have played there numerous times. But today, I played it with some friends from San Francisco and did NOT realize how much the recent storm has damaged it. I wish the Pro Shop would have warned us about the playing conditions instead of pointing us to the temp scorecard with numerous hole revisions. We still did not get a feel for the damaged course until we finished 17 and 18. But like I said I have played it before and would have rated it a high 3 star course. But right now (until it is fixed) it should offer discounted golf rates for the tough condition of the course.
Thank you for playing with us and we hope your next round will be a 5 star experience.
We appreciate the feedback.
Hi RTCummins! Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back!
Hi gl002mc. We see you rated the course 1-star and are interested in learning what we can do to improve for your next visit. We take single star feedback very serious at our course. You are welcome to comment or reach out to our team in the golf shop. We always appreciate the feedback.
Mesquite is a friendly playable course
My goal was to get a quick morning round in at an affordable course and Mesquite fit the bill. The pro was friendly, and as a single the other golfers happily waved me through . I got 18 holes in just over 2 hours. The course was in fair condition, with decent greens, though a couple of holes were damaged by the floods last month. For my first round of the year it was just what I wanted. I'll be back.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're glad you found value and efficiency in #MesquiteGolf We look forward to seeing you out here more often this season!
Thank you for playing with us and we hope your next round will be a 5 star experience.
We appreciate the feedback.
have a great day.
Slow Play
Our tee time was directly after the Men’s Club Championship time. Due to the important essence of their round (to them) everyone after had to play at their ego driven pace.
The course staff came out to let the following players know the reason for the really slow pace. When accepting tee times after the before mentioned Mens Club Mesquite should have not used the regular time spacing but one of at twice as long for a period of time, reducing it for another shorter period of time and then back to the regular spacing.
I realize that Mesquite is in business to make as money as they can, but doing it by inconveniencing the other paying customers is not a long term positive.
Hello,
We apologize you did not have a great experience the day of the men's club.
We hope you will have a better experience next time.
Please contact Charles at 760-323-9377
This course has severe flood damage!
Wish I had known the condition of this course prior to booking a non-refundable tee time. Lots of bare spots due to flooding. The back nine has a few holes where the tee box had to be moved due to the damage - starting with turning a par 5 into a par 4, and then finishing up with 2 80-yard par 3s.
No snack bar or cart person either, so bring your own coffee/water/snacks.
Gordon meadows
It is to bad that recent rains flooded the course and put several holes out of c9mmission and forcing the course to change others holes as well. The greens are in good shape and most fairways are show8ng good growth. Would gladly play it agai;.
Thank you for understanding and realizing the situation we are having.
Many people do not seem to get it.
Have a great day, we appreciate it and working hard to get the back 9 up to Par.
Front 9 is back to original layout
Thank you for your understanding regarding the recent rain we've had. We look forward to your next round with us soon!
