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.

Golf course review

We enjoyed playing this course a few days ago! It is good value for for your the money! The pace of play was very good, but the course needs some tic! The back nine was in better shape than the front nine!

Not too good

Arrived to play 1/2 hr ahead of time to warm up. Purchased a token for the range, $8, and headed to the range, only to find out it was closed, why, no idea. No reason given, so at the turn, requested a refund for the range. It took an act of God to get the range token refund, was told the manager would have to make the refund.

The Course was is sad shape, greens were fair at best, fairways were actually descent. But bridges over the wash were.not,

Pace of play was slower, but tolerable

No clubhouse amenities at all, what a shame, fantastic building

I guess the fair to play is reflected on by the price of green fees but it could be so much better

Overall, I’ll play it again if other area courses aren’t available,

Location of the course is excellent,very close to downtown PS.

Mesquite golf

Price is low but dont expect much. Course still can be trying and greens are fast. Layout is not good having to come so close to others when teeing off. Our cart died on #16 , made it to clubhouse and friendly staff gave us another. No restaurant available but we knew that going in.

This course needs a lot of work on the front 9- back nine is in fairly good condition- greens were average. Course should be closed for a season- changes should be made to bring conditions up. Club house not open- there was no cart service when we played.

Don’t.

Over 30 plus years of golfing around the country, I give this course solid “F”. Horrible condition of greens, fairways, layouts and pace of playing.

So much fun

Mesquite is such a fun course. Yes, conditions aren’t PGA west. Yes, it can get a bit busy cause you might be behind a wedding party. Who cares. Get out early in the morning if you really care about speed of play. Greens are really fun to approach and putt on. Be sure to tuck a few beer in your bag

Four

The weather was perfect. After that, a lot of room for improvement. The course layout was ok. There were a few gravel traps (formally known as sand), the greens were very firm, the tee boxes were not level and the bridge was washed out at 16/18. The course needs a lot of maintenance and the pro shop needs a facelift. Something they are pretty good at in Palm Springs. I am glad we were able to get a last minute tee time on Saturday. Now I know why..
