Mesquite Golf Course
About
Mesquite’s muni, located in the Duck Creek floodplain, was built in the 1960s by Leon Howard. Playing only 6,280 yards from the tips and void of bunkers, it makes for a fun day on the links. In fact, water comes into play only seven times–not as much as you might think for a floodplain course that has been ravaged by floods over the years.
The most challenging hole, No. 13, has water. It’s a 418-yard par 4 that doglegs right and features a tee shot over a creek, followed by a long approach to a tough, narrow green.
Other notes: Garrett Gill and George B. Williams redesigned this course.
Getting there : From I-30 east, take Northwest Hwy. for .5 mile to North Hwy. 67 and the course.

Golfer Reviews
Don’t Come Here
The marshal mafia will hound you to the point of it effecting your game. I was playing the best round of my life with my dad brother and friend then we were hassled to the point of throwing me off mentally. Instead of politely asking us to speed up, we were rudely and disrespectfully spoken to the monitored by different marshals the rest of the round. An obvious distraction from our game we paid for. He said there were open holes in front of us, but that was because we started with open holes in front of us. The group behind us never waited. We kept pace with them, which is most important. I’ll never return to this establishment.
Just a great deal and course
Hate to give this course a great review in fear that more people will discover this hidden gem in Dallas. The greens are ridiculously excellent, fast, plenty of undulation, and just 3 putting is a goal!
16 and 17 will scare the crap out of you and ruin your scorecard, a par 5 and 225 yard par 3.
If you are a straight hitter, the course is probably fairly easy. Black tees are longer than most people should be playing unless you are a 5 HC.
Those who complain about the parking lot and carts not being issued until 15 minutes before, just leave. The parking lot could not be closer to the pro shop and range, so just carry your darn clubs and not be so lazy.
The staff has been great all 6 times I've been there in the past few months.
Played yesterday with groups in front of us the entire way and still played in exactly 3 hours!
No coolers and personal beer on the course is a Dallas City Ordinance, so live with it.
Back 9
Pro shop allowed 2 foursomes go off back and then lied about it. Consequently had to wait on tees from 12 on. And when we asked to play thru it was denied.
Exceeded expectations
Condition was in great condition. Great value for the money. The clubhouse a d range could use some updates, but overall the course offered an unexpectedly great experience. No regrets.
Awesome Course
First time playing here. Teed off at Noon on a Friday and even through course was fully booked we played in 4 hours. Course layout made the round interesting and the greens were in Excellent condition and really fast !!! Luckily I played with 2 guys who had played the course before which was invaluable as there are some difficult shorter tee shots and tricky pin positions Really enjoyed the round and will definitely be back
Excellent
Mesquite is in the top 3 courses in DFW area. Greens are the best of any muni in Texas!
Pace of play is awesome and Ronnie, Kenny and the entire staff are friendly and keep things rolling.
Staff sucks
This is the 4th time I’ve played at this course and I’ve concluded the staff is the worst here. Every time I’ve played here the staff is super rude and yesterday was the worst. From the second I walked in to the lady supplying food and drinks, everyone has a bad attitude here. Not playing here again. Average course, bad service, to many places to play.
Great condition, cruel greens
This course has some of the fastest greens in the DFW, cruelly quick, make sure you are intentional on literally every putt. It’s super easy to 3 and even 4 putt here. Going from the tips is a solid challenge, they don’t look after the tees at the tips as well as the others however and there is no drinks cart. Marshall’s are great though and they keep a solid pace.
Very friendly staff.
Very friendly staff.
Overall, the golf course is in great shape, fairways were well-maintained, tee boxes and greens are in really good condition. You can’t beat the prices, the senior rates are great. You will not be disappointed at this golf course.
The Good, Bad and the Ugly
The Good:
The greens are in Amazing shape! Problem is they're super fast if you're not used to them. On one hole I putted uphill about 10 feet and it was one turn from going in when the ball stopped and rolled back 10 feet down to where it started. They're in great shape and SUPER fast but really aren't very fair or forgiving especially with several pin placements on the crests of hills....And several times I hit balls in the middle of greens only to watch it roll off to the coller. For a mediocre layout to have such demanding greens is bit of a head scratcher...
The Bad:
The holes are relatively short including the Par 5's (and numerous Par 4's are about 350 yards from the Blue tees---in fact the Blues are about as long as most White tees at other courses---weird)...I don't mind them being short but you frequently have to go with long irons or hybrids off of tees to not hit through the fairways on doglegs and then hit longer irons into greens...course management is a must but there's not much reward for being aggressive when the greens are too fast to be very receptive...
The Ugly:
Frankly the staff is unfriendly and the set-up is weird. For instance, you check in 30, or 45 minutes or an hour early and they say 'We don't give out your cart until 15 minutes before the tee time!" So you either have to schlep your clubs from the parking lot (inconvenient and frankly a pain) or bring a few clubs and balls to putt and go get your cart later--which of course is 15 minutes before your tee time so now you're rushing to load up your cart...AND since they don't allow you to have a cart by yourself (unless you pay an extra $10!) you ALSO have to meet whomever you're paired up with and do that in the 15 minute time frame.
Want to chip instead? The chipping green is 100 yards distant (but your clubs are still in your car due to no cart until 15 minutes prior!). Wanna hit some balls on the range--same deal! Ugh...AND then just for fun you can't bring your own cooler on a 100 degree day so they give you one--with minimal ice, and there was exactly ZERO cart girl service...so it's all just inconvenient and a PAIN to deal with...
Oh and BEST part? The 'Marshall's drive around and watch you--constantly! We saw two different ones at least 6 times in 18 holes and at least twice they stopped, watched us play, without a word (and barely a wave) and just sat there watching...and watching...and watching...It's super annoying...we played in less than 4 hours (the pace they 'require') but those wannabe yahoo cart jockeys may as well have tin stars to go with their bushy mustaches and mirrored shades...maybe it's an outreach program for Ex-Cops with PTSD, but it's just weird and frankly not necessary...and if you think they're not taking their job overly seriously, there's a 'marshalls Wanted' sign in the bathroom with a picture of some desperado...it's ridiculous...
Oh yeah, and the handicapped stall was stuffed with toilet paper to overflowing and was that way when I arrived at still there 5 1/2 hours later when I left...disgusting...
Take your money elsewhere...
