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.

Tough number 3
we have played several times at this course - #3 is always a challenge as it is across 2 bridges and just beside an area of rough. #16 is also across a bridge which is currently out of order requiring a detour.
there was no one in the club house which was locked when we arrived back at 1715 with no directions on where to leave the carts. No easy garbage cans to clean our carts to help out.
They don’t care
Good old bones on a course that is neglected and abused. Maintenance is a joke, the money needed to make this great again is not being spent. Worst conditions I have seen
Needs some TLC
I honestly don't know how they keep this course going...so few people playing, such rough conditions.
We got to the course at least 2o minutes early and we were the only people at the 1st tee.No starter in sight, so we teed off. We got to the 2nd hole then let a single play through. Teed off the 3rd hole and let another single play through. Eventually, 4 singles made a 4some.
This course used to be a great course to play, but it certainly needs work now. The fairways were lacking grass, the greens were bumpy, the bunkers had grass in them and mostly clay. The pace of play was great because not many people were playing.
Bridge is Back!
Course is in fairly good shape. Greens need to mature after treatment.
Fairways nice and green. Need fresh sand in traps.
Muni conditions
Reasonable value but course conditions were fair at best. Sand traps unkept with no rakes. Fairways spotty and greens thin but rolled ok. Overall reminded me of an average muni track. Young ladies in pro shop were friendly but clearly not golfers. They had to call the manager on the phone for help with a reservation (not ours). Get the feeling this course has had financial problems in the recent past. “Now Open” sign was a hint. Were they closed recently?
Play early play fast
The score is amazingly uncrowded and I was able to play a Saturday morning around in less than three hours
Except for the wasps
I had been enjoying 16 1/2 holes with new friends from Calgary, Alberta, when I pushed my second shot on hole 17 to the right, near a building, among some debris. As I was clearing the area around my ball, a swarm of wasps (or hornets) attacked me, chasing me out into the fairway. I got at least one nasty sting on my ear, which is still quite swollen two days later. I tried to inform the pro shop, but they had closed for the day. I did phone the next day, and the person who answered expressed gratitude and promised to rectify the problem.
Pleasantly surprised
After reading some reviews I did not have high hopes but figured for the price and convenient location would give it a go. I thought the course was in good shape, staff was very friendly and helpful, and the price was good. Greens were in great shape, will definitely play again when in the area.
Nice, basic course
I love the central location of this course and it's a good course to warm up on. They need to work on their signage for some holes and it would be great if they sold beer.
Not Bad for the Money
Had a great time playing on the 1st of 2022. Course was in decent condition. Greens were nice. A little bit more money invested in the course and it would be a great value.
Seen better days
This course has the look and feel that it's on its way out. Apparently the course was damaged sometime ago in a flood and it's never really been repaired. Several temporary tee boxes, a poor, confusing layout (specially on the last few holes) and generally tired appearance. Pro shop not well stocked. Greens were in pretty good shape. Maybe it's priced lower than other PS courses, but it's overpriced.
Under construction
It was first time rounding Herr, overall the weather was beautiful and helped us to feel happy Christmas but the course was under construction due to flood in some holes.
Once they finished the construction we'd like to come back again.
