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.

Mesquite golf course

Had a 12 o’clock tee time and we teed off on time. Finished at 3:45. The course / greens had some debris on them- we decided to play winter rules and that solved the problem. The range was quite busy but we still found a place to warm up. A nice sunny day with little to no wind- so very enjoyable. Greens were probably running around 9-91/2.and were spotty in places but overall very playable. Tee boxes were the weakest groomed part of the course

$27 per person very good value the greens were in much better condition today and rolling very nice making a much more enjoyable! I like the fact you can hit driver all day on 6 par five holes and really let it rip. I would definitely recommend this for at a value price.

Better than I expected

Have visited Palm Springs for the last 6 years and avoided this course because of bad reviews. With good courses over $80 decided to try this at $40. Was pleasantly surprised. Very quiet location, friendly starter, not at all busy. Greens are not that good and very variable - no. 1 green is the worst, so things do improve !. Teee boxes and fairways quite good. Bunkers a bit thin on sand but I've seen worse. Good layout. Power carts do not have gps but are clean and run well.

Needs work

The first few holes were in poor shape in my opinion

Some of the fairways are narrow. Greens small. Some greens in bad shape. If you get the round for a good deal the coarse is worth paying. Not worth full price. Carts were in good shape.

Fun day

Nice lay out! Short par 5’s and longer par 3’s!

Fairways very lush, the greens are small and quite flat. They are slow!

Fun to play for a mid handicap player. Enough room to let it fly and see what happens!

Great bang for your buck

After reading the recent negative reviews, we were pleasantly surprised to see staff working on the greens and the bunkers.The course overall was very good. This is not a PGA course and we're not paying PGA prices. Kudos to the staff for being professional and curteous.

Drop off was quick and efficient and so was the check in at the Pro-Shop.

Tee boxes: Average to Good

Fairways Very good to excellent

Bunkers Good to very Good, some Excellent.

Greens Some bad Some average most good.

Great value with Golf Now. Will come back.

Still barely playable

I used to enjoy Mesquite's layout when it was in decent shape. A couple of years ago, it deteriorated badly, and I haven't played since until today. The greens were awful after reseeding, but I can't seem them improving much with all the bare spots and inconsistencies. Someday I hope this course gets back in playable shape, because it can be fun.

Not all Bad!

This is a tough review to write.

Although this course is a bit rough around the edges (very rough in a few areas!), any course must be considered in terms of overall value and suitability for various levels of golfer.

If you are a low handicap who likes to play top level courses........this is not the course for you!! But then again, the green fees should have already told you that. It you are paying $20 to $30 you are a fool if you are expecting a top level course!!

If you are a mid to high handicapper, or new to the game, it’s likely a good fit for you! Yes, it has been badly neglected and needs money and attention to bring it back to a reasonable standard, I feel the green fees reflect what you are paying for!

Tee Boxes: Fair to Good

Fairways: Good

Greens: Poor to Fair

Bunkers: Poor to Fair

Washrooms: Very Clean

Staff: Friendly!

Fine Details/Landscaping: Poor

So in summary, if you are a high handicapper or new to the game, this is a great VALUE course for you! You won’t be rushed or nervous. You can use every club in the bag. And you will likely have fun playing without feeing like you aren’t good enough or are holding everyone up!!

If you are a low handicapper, or just plain “fussy”, stay away!!! There are lots of nicer courses in the valley that will gladly welcome you for twice the money (or more!).

Palm Springs trip

Apparently, the course is having financial problems. I could tell when I drove into the parking lot for a noon tee time and there were only a few cars. You can sense financial problems when the pro shop has limited items and no log balls. No new orders for merchandise.

The course was in terrible shape. Greens were as bad as I have played in years. Due to the condition of the course, they should be charging $20-25.00 to play.

Horrible golf course

I hate to call anything horrible, but here in Palm Springs we are used to the best even from our public courses and Mesquite is a major disappointment. The greens were un-puttable with bare patches. The tee boxes were un-cut and in some cases dug up.

It appeared as if a tornado or wind storm had come through the night before because there were palm fronds everywhere and bare ground around most tee boxes and greens. It was pathetic. I played with some people from Canada and was embarrased. Sorry, but this place needs help.
