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.

Course looked like it was beat up pretty badly. Fairways were not good
Staff were kind of ho-hum. Not very friendly. Course looked like a underfunded public course.
Mesquite Golf course - a pleasant experience
Overall, the course is well maintained and we enjoyed playing there. The course has a number of bridges for the golf carts and these are in desperate need of attention. The boards are worn and rickety and one bridge had a board missing!
Beautiful setting!
A Course with tons of potential!
Lacks lots of maintainence what a shame!
Course in poor shape
Greens and tee boxes are located very close together and causes play to slow down and wait for other players to clear. Price was reasonable , but there are way better values around. Starter was not very friendly, maybe just having a bad day.
Enjoyed this course for the first time
Though relatively flat this course provides enough challenges with its long par 3s and 4s and with greens that are fast and some that are difficult to read. A great course for the middle to high handicap players to use all their clubs in their bag and for others to fine tune their game. First time to play this course but it won’t be the last.
Good value for your money
Greens were in really good condition. Fairway grass was fairly good. Sandtraps in good condition.
This course needs some TLC.
This course has the potential to be a good golf course . The greens were in good shape but the tee boxs and the fairways need work.
enjoyed the course, and the friendly staff
The course was challenging and the pace of game was better then average. I enjoy the friendlyness of the staff. Customer service is very important to me, the staff from the grounds keeper to the ranger and the front desk. They nwe how to make you feel welcome to their course.
COURSE IS IN GOOD SHAPE AND FUN TO PLAY
FRIENDLY PEOPLE ALL AROUND. WERE TREATED VERY GOOD ON AND OFF THE COURSE.
Fun, Cordial Desert Golf
Easy enough track is fair condition for your short game. Nice staff and good rates. Read my entire review and photos at greenskeeper online community.
Good value for the price
For the area it's was a great price. If you're looking just to get out and play in Palm Springs it was a decent cousre
Good course, great value, condition could be better
A great old style course, narrow fairways and small greens. As challenging as you want with a great layout. The course could be in better shape but for the money none better. The greens have been cut down recently and are a good speed. You can pay $90 per round at "better" courses and if that's your bag go for it. But for my money Mesquite gives good value. Plus yo can usually get on at a reasonable time.
It has great scenery.
One of the best courses in Palm Springs for scenery and the course is challenging. We paired up to make a foursome to get things moving quicker. We enjoyed golfing at Mesquite very much and will go back again.
nice course, older layout
This course takes you back to the days of persimmon woods and 200 yard drives. It has a great deal of old Hollywood charm. Compared to the high priced courses in the area this is an excellent value. I enjoyed the course very much and will return.
nice public course
fun course for beginer and some challenges with water and small greens.
We enjoyed playing this course
My wife and I enjoy playing golf together. This course lends itself well to that. It is not too difficult for golfers with high handicaps.
Good valve for your money.
Wife loved it! I found it a good course with a bit of challenge. Good valve worth playing.
greens are like velcro
Greens are super slow and the fairways need alot of attention. Staff is not that friendly and where more interested in chatting each other then checking us in. Carts where in better shape then the course. You get what you pay for here. When all other courses where in the $60 to $150 range and this one was $39 know what you are getting.
A nice course but run-down at present
We visit Palm Springs from time to time. I had played Mesquite two years ago and remember it as one of the best value for $ courses in the Valley. I was saddened to see how run-down the course was this time--tee boxes very divot-filled and worn, fairways with bare spots--it appeared over-played and undernourished. The greens although slow were in better shape than the rest of the course. Pace of play was reasonable. Sadly it will be hard for me to recommend Mesquite until/unless it is better maintained.
overall course poor condition
fairways were dry and poorly maintained, Rough is rough hard to find ball. Play was extremely slow many times we had to wait for 2 groups on the tee box.
