I’ve played Mesquite for years and the greens have been some of the best around. Consistency is key to a good golf course. The affordable green fees make it appealing and are a unrivaled value in DFW golf. It’s a great walker’s course. Some courses have gotten bad about frowning upon walking, which is shameful. The Greens usually run around 9-10 if I had to guess and always seem to be in decent shape when other courses greens aren’t. The course is not too difficult but still challenging for every level. Like every course, there’s a handful of uninspiring holes. In my opinion that would be the stretch from 3-5. The rest is solid. For my personal taste, the back is the jewel of the course. The back includes what I consider the signatures holes. The Par 3 -15th and 17th. 15 is flanked by water down the left from about 50 yards off the tee, down the entire depth of the green. From the tee you’re hitting from an elevated tee box. It’s a picturesque tee shot. 17 is a monster that requires an accurate 190 yard shot from an elevated tee box over a small ravine, with a tall cottonwood towering left and a row of trees down the right, dividing it from the 11th hole. It looks tighter than it really is. The green is guarded by a bunker on the left. The hole sets up for a draw. It’s menacing. The course has some character to it. There’s lots of gentle rolling hills you wouldn’t expect. You must play some old school angle golf. It’s not much inside of a neighborhood, lots of trees and the water coolers are always full. There’s not a ton of sand on the course, and I don’t believe there are any fairway bunkers at all. If I had to guess I’d say, there are probably about 12 bunkers on the course total. Just single bunkers on either side of most of the greens. They’ve got a great driving range, with lots of targets, the downfall is that you’re hitting off mats and the wind is usually helping, as the range is sitting atop a small hill. Don’t let the distance on the range fool you on the course. Their practice green is fine, but the short game area is lacking. It’s still a bonus to have a short game area for chipping/pitching. Most other courses don’t have that. They don’t run beverage carts, and the pro shop is bare. The clubhouse staff however is always friendly, welcoming and try to be accommodating. Sometimes the marshals are pushy, which has side effects and benefits. Otherwise. Mesquite would be a 5- Star course, if they’d run a weekend beverage cart, had a better chipping area and some merch to browse in the pro-shop. It is a solid place to play though given its overall value and generally good condition. It is generally always busy.

Read some reviews… I agree with a lot of them. I really like this place. It’s the best deal around for the money. The clubhouse staff is great and the course is great but 3 stars strictly because of the Marshall’s. I’m all for enforcing rules and helping with pace of play… but these Marshall’s seem clueless sometimes. Group behind us is 2 holes behind and we had a 20 min gap in tee times in front of us and they expected us to hustle to catch the group who teed off 20 min in front of us. They just need to relax just a little bit and this place would be amazing, but I don’t see them doing that. Heck I bet they don’t even look at these. The starters are hit or miss. Some guys are really friendly and welcoming… then others are complete A-holes for no reason.

This star score is because of the way the city is taking care of the course, the attitudes of the guys in the pro shop, and the overall lack of concern for what is a very nice track. The money put into the course several years ago really shaped it up and made it comparable to other similarly priced courses. But, for some reason the city just doesn't know how or care to keep it that way. It is not worth the money they charge when I can play much nicer courses for the same money. Honestly, it's a sad black eye for the city of Mesquite, TX.

If you wanna wait the whole time to play because they overbooked then play here! If you want marshals nagging at you to play faster even when you finish a hole and wait 20 mins to start the next one because they overbooked then play here! If you wanna play with randoms because there is no way they won’t let you play with only 3 or 2 because there overbooked play here! If you wanna go to a driving range where they don’t refill the balls and look at you strange when you tell them there are none in there then play here! Course is nice but so many downsides I don’t think make up for it.

I dont normally leave reviews but figured this needs to be said. The driving range has practice mats to hit off of and the rubber tee are mostly chipped and frayed. However there are a couple good mats. But not a good place to practice your driver. You also have to have a driver license to drive the golf cart. However the pro shop clerks don't check. Instead if you look old enough you can drive. So it's up to their discrimination. The 1 star review is for the staff.
