Mesquite Golf Course ☆ Follow

The Mesquite Golf Club is a municipal course owned and operated by the City of Mesquite. Located in the Duck Creek floodplain, it was built in the 1960s by Leon Howard. Originally opening as a 9-hole course, it expanded to 154 acres and 18-holes two years later. The 18-hole course features 6885 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 71.

After several years of private management in the 2000s, the City resumed operations and the course underwent a massive renovation project in 2013, expanding from 6,100 yards to 6,980 and including the addition of Champion Bermuda greens and 20 new bunkers. The renovations have drastically altered the way the course is played, making it much more challenging, but with multiple tee locations, it still allows for a variety of skill levels. The course reopened in 2014 and was named Course of the Year by the Texas Turfgrass Association.

The most challenging hole, No. 13, is 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. Water comes into play only seven times on the course.
