Sad to see

I used to play here 30 plus years ago and it was a fine course. It is sad to see how bad the course condition has gotten. The layout is still pretty good except for long traverses between some holes and the wash is a mess and construction on the bridge has ruined hole #10, Greens not bad but fairways are sad and rough is filled with weeds. If it is true that Marriot has purchased the course hopefully they can bring it back to its former glory.

It's Okay

I've played the course several times in the last 5 years. It's a decent course, but old and tired. Its condition was reflected in lower green fees relative to other courses, but rates have increased this year to the point that there are better courses with lower fees, so we won't play there again unless fees are lowered

Sandstorm fun!

This was my first time playing Mesquite the course layout is nice but the course conditions were poor it looks like their grounds crew had taken a couple of weeks off but I’ll be back to play this course again just because of the layout and my three putt problems!

Nice greens, so-so course

Course had some good holes but general course conditions were about a C grade. Driving range is not good. Range balls are hit into a wash area. Greens we’re good so no complaints there but not sure I’d go back. Course winds around homes and has several lakes and ponds but is still playable.

Staff was friendly enough but overall course was below what you might expect for peak season desert layout.
