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.

Golfing in january
Beautiful day.Love the ground squirrels...Course a little bumpy...could use more grooming. But still good value.
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
Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you had an overall enjoyable round despite the palm tree debris. We hope you'll give us another shot soon!
We appreciate your positive feed back and we are glad you enjoyed yourself out on the course.
Come see us again

Local. Favorite 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.

Mesquite Country Club golf
First few greens were dry and fast. Otherwise had a great time!
Hi Nancy, We are happy to had a great time at Mesquite Golf & Country Club. Book your next round with us soon.
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.
Hi Steve, Thank you for proving your feedback. We would like to apologize for our course conditions and will address your comments with our management team. In order to make improvements. Please allow us to make it up to you in the near future.
Worst course ever!
Worse course ever in my life hasn't been updated since the 90s it looks like
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.
Hello, We are sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars. We hope you'll give us another try in the near future.
Hello Mr. Whitebass
Thank you for playing with us, please come visit us again when our first few holes are in top shape.
Have a great day
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!
Hello, We are happy to hear that you liked our course layout. Come back again soon.
Awesome!
Got a great deal, weather was awesome, staff was friendly and helpful! Played 18 in about 3 hours!
Hi Nancy, Thank you for leaving Mesquite Golf & Country Club a 5-star rating. Book your next tee time with us soon.
Thank you for your time here and we are glad you had a wonder experience.
We are looking to see you again
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.
Hello, Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. Your feedback about the course is important to us. We are working to get everything up to par. We are going to escalate your feedback to our team so we can make improvements before your next game. We will continue to work towards an excellent experience by using your comment for guidance.
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!).
Hello, Thank you for taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass along your feedback to the staff so they can work to make changes. Thanks for visiting us!
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.
