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.

Seen better days

Nice piece of propert, it’s a shame they let it go to ruins.
If you want to work on your game I guess it’s better than the driving range. The greens aren’t terrible.

In great shape

I’ve played her plenty of times over the years and the last few times the course was in bad shape. They have definitely made improvements on keeping the course up. I will definitely be coming back!

Course was in great condition. The cost was terrific considering it's in Palm Springs in prime season. The only complaint I have is that there was no bar/restaurant for after the round. Never the less, I will play here again.

Great value in the desert

It is a great value for the money in Palm Springs. The staff is terrific, the course (and I usually play it 2-3 times when I am here in January-February) is being maintained again after several years of neglect, has a great design (three par 3's, three par 4's and three par 5's on the front nine) and has a great combination of easy and difficult holes. I will play it again while I am here in Palm Springs, at least two more times.
